Raised by a gang of Diesels, young Rusty has always dreamt of racing, but fears he cannot due to being a Steamer and having a corrosive rust problem.

The problem is, Rusty has a big fat crush on her and will do anything to win her heart, despite someone else trying to win his own.

Summary
He'd slunk off in shame, skating near to the edge of the yard. He was alone in the darkness, sitting down with his back to the rough concrete of a tunnel entrance. He pulled his knees to his chest, burying his face against crossed arms, blinking back the tears threatening to roll down his cheeks.
Sleep claimed him before he even realized.

Summary
(An incredibly self-indulgent novelisation of Starlight Express, where almost everyone cameos and the plot goes on for far longer than a two hour runtime could ever allow)
Rusty is a shunting engine on the Apollo Victoria Railroad, who longs for something more than his lot in life. With the announcement of the World Championship Railroad Race comes a chance to prove himself to those who doubt him, including the reigning champion Greaseball, and to the coach he loves, Pearl. With tensions mounting as sides are taken, deals and deceptions are made, and a new electrifiying competitor makes themselves known, will Rusty be able to win the day?

Then he glanced down.
That was the shortest steam train he had ever seen.
