**Judy** is one of *Thomas & Friends* characters. She was one of the breakdown cranes (the other is Jerome). She and Jerome used to live in the station yard at Knapford, but now handle emergencies on the west side of the island, on the Harwick Branch Line.

In the fanfic *The Secret & Dearest Life of Everything in Sodor*, Judy's married surname, Erdoğan, was a reference to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the 12th president of the Republic of Turkey. Her maiden surname, Kairouz, is a reference to American entertainer, singer and actor Danny Thomas (whose birthname is Amos Muzyad Yaqoob Kairouz).

## Biography

### *Thomas & Friends*

Judy and Jerome are first encountered by Thomas in a siding at Knapford Station Yard, where they thought there was an emergency after Thomas woke them up. Annie and Clarabel then explained to him what they were for. He later collected them after James' accident with some trucks.

After Rocky arrived and the Search and Rescue Centre was built, Judy and Jerome became obsolete due to Rocky being stronger than both of them combined. They remained on their siding at Knapford for several years, eventually being noticed by Ryan. Looking for a change in scenery, they had him take them to Arlesburgh Harbour. However, the sea air caused their gears to not work properly and they had to deal with defacating seagulls, so they asked Oliver, who was passing by, to move them somewhere else.

Oliver took them to a field on the Little Western, but they quickly grew bored there. When Duck passed by, they asked him to move them somewhere else again, so he took them to the Blue Mountain Quarry.

While the pair where at the quarry, Daisy derailed on the other side of the island from the Search and Rescue Centre and Judy and Jerome were missing, meaning that Thomas would have to go all the way to the Search and Rescue Centre from Knapford to get Rocky. Eventually, Ryan was able to track them down and bring them to Daisy. Happy to be useful again, Judy and Jerome were taken to Arlesburgh that night. The Fat Controller then decided to relocate them to Arlesburgh permanently, allowing them to handle emergencies on the west side of the island while Rocky handled the east, having realized the strategic importance of having more than one breakdown train.

When Henry had an accident at Vicarstown on the viaduct, while taking a goods train to the Mainland, Edward took Judy and Jerome to the accident scene that evening, where they lifted Henry back to safety. After that they were left on their siding at Knapford again.

Sometime later, they helped Duck move Dexter to Harwick so he could be restored.
