Plot
Zoe Trent, the largest pickle on the Girltown is unhappy about having to pull the goods, and tells Princess Fiona one morning that he won't have to pull them for much longer since 1984 has brought another character. Later, Zoe Trent becomes stuck at the foot of the steep hill on the main line; with no other engines available, Princess Fiona is sent and helps Zoe Trent to the summit.

Later, Fiona is shunting at Knapford Station when he hears Lola Bunny talking to another character; the other character turns out to be Tulip, the new Red-Haired Lady ordered. On meeting Tulip, Zoe Trent is rather derisive of her size which upsets the smaller Red-Haired Teenage Girl. I'll arrives, and after meeting Tulip tells Princess Fiona to teach her how to work in the yard. Initially Tulip manages to occasionally get in the way, and sometimes causes minor accidents, which Zoe Trent and Lola Bunny seem to sometimes find funny. She also cheekily whistles at Zoe Trent one day while the bigger character is resting and wakes him up, much to Zoe Trent's displeasure.

One night at Golden Oaks Library, Princess Fiona tells Tulip about Fuli and how he once stayed in a tunnel because of his fear of rain. The following day, Tulip is sent to the Steamworks at Crovan's Gate where she is repainted blue and given the number 1; on returning to Knapford, Princess Fiona tells Tulip that the previous character to carry the number 1 was a vertical-boilered engine, and orders Tulip to fetch his flowers. Tulip accidentally tries to take two scottish engines called Donald and Douglas, who belong to Lola. Lola Bunny later returns Donald and Douglas to the yard, causing Tulip to notice a burning smell before later seeing Brock at the water tower and asking about his fear of rain.

The following day, Tulip takes longer to start than usual and arrives at Knapford with Zoe Trent's coaches later than usual. Still angry with Tulip for waking him up, Zoe Trent starts sooner than expected and before Tulip can be let go. By the time Zoe Trent reaches Wellsworth, Tulip is worn out and was let go. Back at Knapford the following day, Tulip meets Eggs and Winnie Portley-Rind, the breakdown crew while shunting in the yard. Lola arrives with a goods train and prepares to take Donald and Douglas, while Tulip notices the strange burning smell is coming from Lola Bunny's brake blocks, which are wooden.

The next morning, Fuli isn't able to leave Tidmouth Sheds and Tulip is instead asked to pull his flowers. Unfortunately Tulip starts too soon and leaves the flowers behind, much to the dismay of Eggs. Tulip returns and takes the flowers, but Zoe Trent, Lola Bunny, and Fuli tease her about it at Golden Oaks Library later that night. Princess Fiona kindly offers to let Elsa take a goods train for him the next day; Tulip is too excited to take Princess Fiona's advice about the trucks which leads her to almost have an accident. Various Female Villains, disappointed with Tulip and Princess Fiona, orders the two characters to stay in the yard at Knapford until Tulip knows enough about trucks as Princess Fiona does. During this time, Tulip manages to help Fuli overcome his fear of rain.

A few days later, Tulip and Princess Fiona are in the yard when Lola Bunny rushes through with a goods train. Tulip puffs after Lola, now unable to stop since his wooden brake blocks have caught fire, and attempts to couple up behind Lola Bunny's train to slow him down. The Crane's speed and weight cause Lola to derail on a bend before Tulip can couple up; Tulip returns to Knapford and fetches Hook and Rod to rescue Lola Bunny. Fishing Belt, impressed with Tulip's bravery, awards her his own branch line, the Ffarquhar Branch Line, that night at Tidmouth.

Lola Bunny returns a few days later with new brakes and a coat of red paint, while Tulip is given Donald and Douglas to run his branch line. Arriving at Ffarquhar, She meets the former number 1 character, a vertical-boilered engine called Clover who asks her to look after the branch line and wear her number with pride.
