Zephie

Zephie is a young scissor-lift chugger like a trolley. She was introduced in Season 1.

## Personality

A kind scissor lift trolley, Zephie is good friends with Koko, Wilson and Brewster. Though a very small engine, she is really useful and an important engine for Crotoonia as she is used to check that the tracks are well maintained and safe for the engines use. Being a specially built scissor lift trolley, she can spin around 360 degrees and zoom up and down to manoeuvre her cab, though she is fitted with a bell instead of a horn or whistle. Zephie goes through life with her head held high, figuratively or literally, and although she can be a little excitable, she knows that hard work has its rewards. Zephie often looks up to hard-working Brewster as a role model.

## Basis

Zephie is loosely based on an early San Diego cable car, which can not spin around 360 degrees. The spinning function may have come from a Manchester horse drawn tram. It had the ability to turn 180 degrees. The spinning feature may also have been inspired by certain North American track inspection cars ("speeders"), such as certain versions of the Fairmont P-5, which are equipped with a drop down lifting pivot. In such cars a central foot is dropped between the rails from the centre of the car, raising the entire machine (including the wheels) off the rails, and enabling the operator to spin the entire car around by hand.

Zephie’s basis
## Trivia

* In Zephie's Zoomaround, Zephie was fitted with a siren. However, before that episode and since then, she only has her bell.
* She used to be a trainee with Hodge as stated Outward Bound Olwin. However, some episodes seem to prove that Zephie may not be a trainee yet. As in Brewster's Little Helper for instance, she loads her cargo too roughly and delivers her loads to the wrong places. It may be possible that her size and weight meant that she could only do some of the training. She still does some more training in Brewster to the Rescue.
* Zephie idolises Brewster.
* She was not built for heavier loads like the other engines as seen in Brewster's Little Helper.
* Zephie gets tipped over more than any other engine.
* She is the only character to have flexibility.
* Zephie is the only chugger who cannot pull loads.
* She was the only tram in Chuggington until Decka entered the series but does not run a scheduled passenger service like Decka does.
* In German, she is called "Sophie". In Polish, she is called "Zosia".
* Acording to an early storyboard for Zephie's Zoomaround, Zephie was intended to be smaller, more boxy, and have two horns.
* In Chuggington Interactive Railway, Zephie is not so good at switching tracks.
* She cannot give the usual danger/assistance needed signal (three honks) as her bell is too small, so she shouts "Chugger down!"

## Lyrics

A lesson that's worth learning
One you never should forget
Is the art of friendly rivalry
It's not always about winning
You must learn that from the start
Enjoy yourself remember
What counts is taking part
*CHORUS:*

Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
Let's see who is the quickest
Who can be the fastest
On your marks, now get set, go!
Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
Let's see if you can catch me
Let's see if you can match me so
Let's have a race, have a race
Wilson challenged Koko
To a friendly race one day
The driver said get ready
But be careful on the way
The friends lined up together
Enjoying the fun
The stationmaster called out
Are you ready to begin
*CHORUS:*

Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
Let's see who is the quickest
Who can be the fastest
On your marks, now get set, go!
Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
Let's see if you can catch me
Let's see if you can match me so
Let's have a race, have a race
Koko train was winning
She sped along the way
Wilson tried so hard
To catch up on the way
Eventually he passed her
And Koko had to say
To pass you on that hill Wilson
I'd need wings like an aeroplane
*CHORUS:*

Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
Let's see who is the quickest
Who can be the fastest
On your marks, now get set, go!
Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
Let's see if you can catch me
Let's see if you can match me so
Let's have a race, have a race
*CHORUS:*

Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
Let's see who is the quickest
Who can be the fastest
Ready, set, go!
Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
Let's see if you can catch me
Let's see if you can match me so
Let's have a race, have a race
Let's have a race
Let's have a race

Old Puffer Pete

Old Puffer Pete is an elderly American hodge-podge steam locomotive

Old Puffer Pete is the codgerly chief engine of the Celgreb City Freight Depot, Crotoonia's largest and busiest export and import center. He still needs to get used to plenty of new names in Crotoonia, which he often bodges up with newcomers or younger engines. However he's a hard working and dependable engine who often passes down his wisdom to newcomers. Just don't be around when he goes off for hours on end about "the old days"; he's been around for over 150 years!
The Town Song

The Town Song, alternately titled Town Song, is a song from the second season dedicated to Chuggington. It aired in the US on the Mr. Conductor's Chuggington Tales episode, Wish You Were Here in 1996. It was later re-released with a new CGI music video as part of Wilson's YouTube World Tour on 22 July 2015.

## Lyrics

Picture a land where the sky is so blue
A storybook land of wonder
A magical town just waiting for you
Chuggington will make your dreams come true
Imagine a place where the sun always smiles
The valleys are green as can be
The friends that you love are all waiting for you
Chuggington will make your dreams come true
Children follow the dream
To a land of make-believe
Chuggington
A magical land where dreams come true
Follow the road that leads to your dream
Over the hills and mountains
Look for the skies with stars in their eyes
Chuggington will make your dreams come true
Children follow the dream
To a land of make-believe
Chuggington
A magical land where dreams come true
Chuggington
Magical land where dreams come true
## Trivia

* The Norwegian version has a slightly different musical arrangement.
* In the CGI version, the third verse was omitted.
* The song was going to be in Wilson and the Magic Railroad as the opening musical sequence, but it was cut.
Olwin

Olwin is a British steam locomotive who is very wise and kind.

## Personality

Olwin is a kind but fussy streamlined engine. With a habit of keeping her paintwork pristine and buffers buffed to the best, she's a hard worker who sometimes has trouble getting to do dirty work, like collecting cars of sooty rock or coal from the quarries. She likes to keep right on schedule and does her best not to be late! Despite her fastidious ways, she's a very motherly and caring engine whose always ready to be there is anyone needs a buffer to cry on.

## Basis

Olwin is similar to a tenderless LNER Class A4 locomotive. Spencer from Sodor and Mallard, holder of the world speed record for steam locomotives, are other members of this class. An additional five members of this class survive in preservation.

Olwin’s basis
## Trivia

* Despite being based on one, Olwin was a tender engine, but now she is a tank engine, much like the Crown City Star engine from the Arthur episode; "Strangers on an Train". When she collects coal, it is deposited through an opening in her cab roof, and water is stored centrally in the boiler, similar to Speedy McAllister.
	+ Also, her basis is the same as Spencer's from Thomas & Friends.
* Olwin was the youngest steam locomotive until Piper entered the series.
* Her whistle sound is reused from the ship from Howl's Moving Castle.
* She doesn't enjoy jobs that involve getting dirty, and will stick to more cleaner duties when possible.
* It is possible that she may be a mixed-traffic engine as she was seen pulling passenger carriages in Brewster's Little Helper.
* In Czech and Polish, she is called Olga and in German, she is called Almut.
* Unlike in Chuggington, Olwin has a wall behind her cab, coal bunkers between her firebox in front of her cab, and nameplates. In Chuggington, Olwin did not sport either of those features, as she had part of her cab roof that was able to slide open forward when collecting coal (which was stored in front of her cab), though she still has water stored inside of her boiler. She also appears to be noticeably bigger than she was in Chuggington. Also, if compared to Speedy McAllister, Olwin appears to be longer than him, which can be seen as shown in the images on this post.
* Olwin's chassis was modified from Spencer's. The defining differences are completely new wheels and a different siderod build.
Hodge

Hodge is an American half-chugger that lives in Chuggington. His name comes from the fact that he was built from a hodge-podge of parts.

## Personality

Hodge is partly one of the younger Chuggers, just a few years older than the Trainee's Brewster, Wilson, and Koko. He is a pick up Chugger who is always there to help out with any job big or small. Hodge spends his days running around the repair yard in Chuggington running errands for Eddie the Handyman. He has a "seen it all" attitude to most things and it takes a lot to get him excited. He hates being treated like he doesn't know what he is doing or when Eddie doesn't trust him. This is most evident in Hodge's Secret.

## Basis

Although Hodge is not based on any actual locomotive, he resembles one of early modified rail Mack AC trucks. He is described in one episode by the mayor's son as being a "6-wheeled dandy half-engine". He has a vague family resemblance to a wide range of railway cars built in a number of local railway company shops from a mixture of automobile, bus, truck and railway car parts. Likely inspiration came from the USA's Rio Grande Southern "Galloping Goose" series of contrivances. Of the three preserved RGS "Galloping Goose" series of cars, Hodge most closely resembles RGS #6 (which has a flat bed truck frame on its rear) but with the stove pipe of RGS#7 (used for heating the passenger compartment - which on RGS #7 was partly created from wooden passenger coach parts). Hodge also lacks the vast snowplows used on the RGS machines. However, many such shop-built contraptions were assembled and used by small budget railway companies throughout the world, and each of them were uniquely built for local needs using parts on hand. Hodge, like his ancestors throughout the world, is a locally designed and built machine, created from whatever parts happened to be available, to meet specific needs of his railway.

Hodge’s basis
## Trivia

* He is Eddie's assistant.
* Hodge used to be a trainee with Zephie as stated in Outward Bound Olwin. But according to most episodes this can't be it as Zephie is possibly too young to become a trainee.
* He is possibly a young teenager.
* Hodge is one of two of the smallest heavy hauling engines in Chuggington. The other is Calley.
* His voice in the American version deepened in Season 3.
* He is one of the only chuggers with only one coupler. For this reason, he cannot see what he is doing when he is using a car. The other is Zephie. However, he has been seen with a front coupler on several occasions.
* He is a one-of-a-kind chugger.
* He got his name because he was made from a 'hodgepodge' of recycled parts.
* In Zephie's star club, he isn't interested in clubs.
* In Polish, he is called "Hugo".

Harrison

Harrison is a blue American diesel-electric hybrid locomotive.

## Personality

Harrison is a real strong diesel engine and the fastest engine from Chuggington, he thinks he's the cat's whiskers (the vents on his face even make him look a bit like a cat). It doesn't help that young Wilson looks up to him like a hero. Though he is vain and prideful he leans towards the vanity levels of Sir Reginald as opposed to Gordon or Farnsworth, he is a hardworker and when he gets his comuppance, he has the courage to own up.

Arthur

**Koko** is a Japanese electric engine. She is an advanced Trainee and is one of the main characters of Chuggington.

## Personality

Koko is the youngest of the trainees and is powered by electricity, meaning she only needs to charge her batteries every now and then, as opposed to fueling up with diesel. Koko can be a little overconfident and rush through things, but unlike other fast passenger engines, she doesn't mind hauling express freight, and does work as hard as she can with a job. She cares deeply for her friends, and will always help them out whenever she's done something wrong

**she is 11th. she is toolshed south park! 11**

Koko appears to be based on a 0/100/200 Series Shinkansen. Koko has a large light on her front which resembles a nose, instead of two smaller lights on either side of what would be the "nose" on Koko. She also appears to have an upturned nose and a large front bumper, as well as a huge vent behind her cab where her engine is situated inside of, instead of a set of windows that represents where passengers could sit inside of. Koko also runs on battery-power, unlike her basis that uses overhead wires via pantographs.

* In German, she says "Toot Toot" instead of "Choo Choo".

* Koko is the first trainee ever to win the speed badge.
* Koko has a speed fleet.
* She is the only fully electric powered trainee.
