Philip

Philip is a little diesel engine who works on the North Western Railway.
==Bio==
Philip came to the Island of Sodor as the new shunting engine at Knapford. During his first day of work, he was eager to impress Gordon by showing him how fast he was, but nothing he did was enough to impress him. He challenged Gordon to a race and took off out of the yard, racing all the way to Brendam Docks. However, he seemed oblivious to the fact that Gordon had not actually competed.
Philip continued to be proud of his speed, and boasted about how many trucks he could pull. After taking a train of empty trucks to the quarry, he found James hanging over the top of a tunnel, having had an accident after trying to prove to Philip how many trucks he could pull. Just before he could go get help, Philip ended up under James when the latter fell down and fell on top of his cab roof. When James was rescued and sent to the Steamworks, Philip proudly told the engines of his rescue. Shortly after Phillip's arrival on Sodor, Sir Topham Hatt relocated Phillip from Knapford to The Coaling Plant after trains continuously ran late because the engines had to shunt their own trains.
