When Rusty hears that an engine is needed to help run the Bluebell Railway, he suggests they search the same spot where Douglas found Oliver -the Other Railway. Only diesels go there now, so Rusty ventures out on his mission and meets a steam engine named Stepney, who is stranded in the scrapyard.

Based on the story of the same name from Stepney the "Bluebell" Engine.

Stepney's driver and fireman watch a game of cricket match while waiting at a signal. As Stepney sets off again, he doesn't realise that the ball has landed in one of his trucks. Caroline, an elderly car, sets off with the players in pursuit of Stepney, the trucks and the cricket ball along the branch line.
