Covering Dominick with green paint, yellow paint and red paint, just like in Calling All Engines!. When Diesel realizes that he has struck out Dominick instead of Thomas like he had planned, he sets out to strike Thomas. When he does, Thomas is cross and upset and goes to the Hompstead Hollow foundary where he sees Dominick and they're not pleased to look similar and to have been struck out by Diesel. Then Dominick has the bright idea that he and Thomas can enter the competition together. But on the way they meet Percyat Abbey station, who has just collected a workmen and some to scrub Thomas down. Dominick is disappointed that there isn't enough left for him.

She tells Dominick not to change who he is, just like he told her when she did so in Season 3, completely misunderstanding the situation. Then Diesel strikes Thomas again, this time with Gold Paint!
