They would later gain the nickname "Steamroller Wheels" again in the twenty-fourth series episode, The Great Little Railway Show. This is also the only time they are referred to as such in the model series.

Later, however, some boys arrive and immediately start teasing Sir Handel about his confrontational race with George. Sir Handel, thinking he sent George away, claims credit and becomes even more conceited, much to the despair of the other engines. They then leave on board Bertie, taking George with them. The next day, the workmen put up a fence between the road and the railway, to prevent further accidents from occurring. Everyone stops arguing and soon gets to work clearing up the mess. Sir Handel, George and their crews then get into an argument over whose fault it was until a policeman arrives to find out what is going on. Sir Handel attempts to pass George quickly, but the situation escalates into the steam roller deliberately ramming into the trucks, causing them to derail.

Sir Handel whistles to get George's attention, but he ignores Sir Handel since there's hardly any room to pass and both start trading insults. George is traveling extremely close to the line, making it very difficult for Sir Handel to pass. Sir Handel is later bringing a special train home when he meets George again on the road alongside the railway heading home. Sir Handel simply replies that he is better and cheerfully puffs away, leaving George fuming. The two immediately develop a mutual animosity towards each other, with George accusing Sir Handel of pretending to be as good as him. Later that day, Sir Handel meets George at the level crossing. Sir Handel proudly proclaims that he will send George packing. Skarloey (attempting to bring Sir Handel down to size) tells him that he would be the perfect engine to deal with George, a grumpy anti-railway steamroller who is working nearby. Sir Handel (who believes the other engines are simply jealous) announces that his wheels are just as special as Peter Sam's funnel and claims that he can go faster than the others. Peter Sam (who is sympathetic) refers to the time when he got a new funnel and was teased about it, until the other engines learned how useful it is. He is very proud of them, but the other engines tease him due to their unusual shape, calling them "steamroller wheels" to his annoyance. Sir Handel has recently had some new broad wheels fitted.
