The Green Knight

The Green Knight is the eighth episode of the second series of The Miniature Railway Adventures. It was written in 2018 by Casey Junior.

Plot
The Model Engineers Society was having trouble with its diesel Sir Gyles. It's loud engine drowns the quiet atmosphere of the railway and billows out clouds of black smoke. Cars suggests buying a new diesel to the chairman which was received well with the other members, except Casey. He thinks the railway should have instead invested in a new steam engine to carry out the work, despite the help the new diesel would bring. The new diesel is called Green Knight, and it proves to be worth the purchase. Even Casey soon comes to terms with the handiness of the engine. But then news came to him that he was to have time off, which he objects to grimly. He thinks that Green Knight is here to take over his work and thinks it unfair. However, after some persuasion from Jane, Casey decides to take the short leave to let his hair down. For a while, things go smoothly, but Green Knight suddenly develops a problem and is put out of commission. Not even Sir Gyles could help either and Betty is having her overhaul. Casey is called back to cover for the engines, which he gladly does so. Casey confesses tot he chairman about what he'd thought was going to happen with his time on the railway. The chairman laughs, stating that Casey had no need to be worried as he is a vital component in the railways's operation. "After all, it's the steam engines that bring in the punters"
