* '''We Need Another Engine''': Small Railway Engines has just been published, but the Thin Clergyman, unaware of Frank the diesel's presence on the Arlesdale Railway, did not include him, much to Frank's fury. Frank refuses to start the next morning, and when he does, he jerks into the back of the shed. Frank feels ashamed, but redeems himself later when Rex's steampipe leaks and he has to rescue Rex's train. The Small Controller is pleased, but does not want Frank to have to do all the rescue work and starts thinking.

''Jock the New Engine'' is the thirty-fourth book of ''Literature/TheRailwaySeries'' published in 1990. It contains four stories.
* '''We Need Another Engine''': Small Railway Engines has just been published, but the Thin Clergyman, unaware of Frank the diesel's presence on the Arlesdale Railway, did not include him, much to Frank's fury. Frank refuses to start the next morning, and when he does, he jerks into the back of the shed. Frank feels ashamed, but redeems himself later when Rex's steampipe leaks and he has to rescue Rex's train. The Small Controller is pleased, but does not want Frank to have to do all the rescue work and starts thinking.
* '''Sticking Power''': Bert is feeling unwell; Rex and Mike are very unsympathetic. The problem is attributed to his tubes, but Bert cheers up when the fitter tells him that a new engine is being built. Bert makes good time, but when he starts again his coupling breaks. His driver has an idea and glues Bert to the coaches with glue. In the shed, Bert tells the others of his adventure and goes to sleep after teasing the others about not having "sticking-power".
* '''Jock''': Bert lets the others in on his secret. A few weeks later, the unnamed engine, who is ochre in colour, comes out for testing. When Douglas sees the engine, he recalls some engines in the Highlands with that colour who were called "Jocks". The engine is delighted, and the happy Small Controller christens the engine "Jock".
* '''Teamwork''': By the time the holiday months come again, Jock has proven his worth and becomes cocky, more so when he single-handedly moves a lorry's trailer into the yard. Next day, Mike is surprised to find Jock is double-heading with him due to popular demand. Mike has an idea, and his driver gradually shuts off steam, leaving Jock to do the work. At the Green, Mike's injector fails, giving Jock another reason to pull Mike. In the end, little time is lost, and Jock and Mike apologise for their antics.
!!This book contains examples of:
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Jock became cocky after receiving attention from others.
* GrumpyBear: Frank according to the narration, though this is due to not appearing on the Small Railway Engines' book.
* NoSympathy: Rex and Mike showed none to Bert who is feeling unwell. In the ending, Bert turns the tables on them when they're feeling tired.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: The lesson of "Teamwork" as Jock had learned.
