Plot
Model trains became very popular on Sodor. Almost every family on Sodor had it. Because there was many people who had it, Sir Topham Hatt takes advantage of this. He made a monthly competition where a model train will be customized to look like an engine from the North Western Railway that took place on Tidmouth Town Square. Each member of the competition that made an engine from the North Western Railway, and the engine they made will be shown off to the real engine. The real engine then will rate the model, and the member of the competition that has the most likes will win the competition.

One day, it was time for the Model Train competition to begin. The engines we're excited to be getting model of themselves, except for James. James boasted about how he always gets a model every month. A girl was running to Tidmouth Sheds, James then boasted about how that girl will be making a model of her. But the girl wasn't coming to James, she was coming to Edward.

James then goes to Knapford and Sir Topham Hatt orders James to go work on Whiff's Waste Dump. James was cross, but he needed to abide to Sir Topham Hatt's orders. After going to the waste dump, Whiff told him to take trucks filled with rubbish to Tidmouth. James was shocked, he didn't want to be shown as a rubbish engine. When stopping at Tidmouth, James sees a kid taking a photograph of him while he is covered with rubbish.

James then goes to Tidmouth Sheds, covered in rubbish. All the engines laughed and teased him about it. On the next day, the winner of the Model Train Competition will be announced. Sir Topham Hatt came to the sheds to tell the engines to go to Tidmouth at afternoon. The engines abide to it, so did James. When afternoon finally came, the kid who was taking a picture of James covered in rubbish makes a model of him but covered in rubbish. James was embarassed, but he needed to stay content. The other engines who saw this laughed and teased him while whistling. Sir Topham Hatt thinks that James will be deaf for weeks.
