Basta

**Basta** is a song written by Christina Grimmie sung by Edurne. Translated in English: "Enough".

## Lyrics

It will be worse if you don't love me

If I don't see it in your eyes

And today I feel abandoned in this room

I felt your love poisoned

I lost the trace of your steps

I had finally gotten my hopes up and everything changed

Enough (Ooh, uh)

That time I told you enough (Ooh, uh)

You no longer deceive me with your traps (Ooh, uh)

I don't believe a word anymore, oh no

Ask me

And give me at least one reason

To forget you, I have stayed here

And I would have gone anywhere for you

I was happy, and although I gave you the best of me

You never imagined that I

I was already detoxified from you

Enough (Uooh, oh)

That time I told you enough (Uooh, oh)

You no longer deceive me with your traps (Uooh, oh)

I don't believe a word anymore, oh no

Ask me

And give me at least one reason

To forget you, I have stayed here

And I would have gone anywhere for you

The end has come, it's over (Oooh)

You won't make me fall in love again

That emotion will not return

And you will know

If you see me again!

Ooooh

Ask me

And give me at least one reason

To forget you, I have stayed here

And I would have gone anywhere for you

Ask me

And give me at least one reason

To forget you, I have stayed here

And I would have gone anywhere for you

Ask me

Ask me
Bear

Bear (originally known by his number, Diesel 7101) is a mixed traffic diesel engine who works on the Main Line. His name comes from the growling noises his engine makes, which make him sound like a bear.

## Personality

Bear is one of the more polite, charming, respectful, useful diesels. He is a loyal, friendly, and sympathetic sort, but he is extremely noisy and obstreperous, as he often makes unusual growling noises much to the disturbance of the other engines; thus earning the name "Bear." The Fat Controller was impressed with BoCo and Bear; he called them "versatile" because they could pull both coaches and trucks. BoCo and Bear usually defend the steam engines when a visiting diesel boasts about how superior they are.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Bear is based on a BR Class 35 "Hymek" Bo-Bo. 101 members of this class was built from 1961 to 1964. They were known as "Hymeks" because of their Mekydro-design hydraulic transmission units. They were withdrawn between 1971 and 1975, a short life caused by British Railways designating diesel-hydraulic locomotives non-standard following the withdrawal of steam. Four "Hymeks" have survived into preservation.

His initial number, 7101, is an in-joke: the Class 35 was only numbered up to 7100. As Beyer Peacock Ltd. were the only company to build the Class 35, all were built in numerical order. Therefore it is safe to say Bear was built after D7100, who entered service 5 February 1964.

Bear's basis
### Livery

When he first arrived on Sodor, Bear was painted in the British Railways' Rail Blue with yellow warning panels. When he became part of the North Western Railway he was painted in the British Railways' Brunswick Green with a narrow band of lime along the bottom of his sides, cream window surrounds and small yellow warning panels. His number was painted on his cab sides in white (D7101) on his original livery and (D3) on his current livery.

## Trivia

* The rear cab of Bear's Hornby model and ERTL toy have a headcode reading "AC 47".
* The ERTL and Hornby ranges depict Bear in his BR blue livery and name him "D7101 Diesel" instead of his given name.
* On the Tidmouth Grand Tour, Bear is depicted with a grey face rather than his yellow one, most likely to match the other engines.
Chatsworth

Chatsworth is a freight diesel originating from Chuggington. He was first mentioned in Crotoonia's Finest and will appear later in Season 1.

## Personality

Chatsworth, a freight locomotive, is what many would conisder a very proper engine. With his sleek white coat and streamlined body, he ensures the goods work is done on time and in tip-top condition. He's a very friendly diesel with a high-energy attitude, a dry sense of humour, and an honest and good-mannered attitude. He can be very worrisome about his condition and he does like to kept in perfect working order, but he doesn't mind handling the rougher work around the rail yard. He's often seen working with his best friend Harrison, and often serves his voice of reason when the boastful mixed-traffic diesel gets too puffed up in his vents!

## Technical Details

### Basis

He is based on a Baldwin Sharknose Locomotive, Baldwin RF-16. Farnsworth also shares this basis.

Chatsworth's basis

Crazier

## Video

"**Crazier"** is a song originally by Taylor Swift that Christina Grimmie covered on YouTube. It was uploaded on August 19, 2009.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'd never gone with the wind, just let it flow

Let it take me where it wants to go

'Til you open the door, there's so much more

I'd never seen it before

I was tryin' to fly but I couldn't find wings

But you came along and you changed everything

[Chorus]

You lift my feet off the ground

You spin me around

You make me crazier, crazier

Feels like I'm fallin' and I am lost in your eyes

You make me crazier, crazier, crazier

[Verse 2]

I've watched from a distance as you made life your own

Every sky was your own kind of blue

And I wanted to know how that would feel

And you made it so real

You showed me somethin' that I couldn't see

You opened my eyes

And you made me believe

[Chorus]

You lift my feet off the ground

You spin me around

You make me crazier, crazier

Feels like I'm fallin' and I am lost in your eyes

You make me crazier, crazier, crazier, oh

[Bridge]

Baby, you showed me what livin' is for

I don't wanna hide anymore

Oh-oh

[Chorus]

You lift my feet off the ground

You spin me around

You make me crazier, crazier

Feels like I'm fallin' and I am lost in your eyes

You make me crazier, crazier, crazier

Crazier, crazier
After You Get What You Want

**After You Get What You Want** is the sixth track off of *The Matchbreaker* soundtrack.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

After you get what you want, you don't want it

If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon

You're like a baby

You want what you want when you want it

But after you're presented

With what you want, you're discontented

[Chorus]

You're always wishing

And wanting for something

When you get what you want

You don't want what you get

And though I sit upon your knee

You'll grow tired of me

'Cause after you get what you want

You don't want what you wanted at all
Murdoch

Murdoch is one of Sodor's largest and strongest tender engines, who is somewhat shy, a gentle giant and prefers the quiet countryside to the constant noise of industry. He hauls goods trains on the Main Line and lives at Knapford Sheds.

## Personality

Murdoch is a mighty, powerful engine with ten drive wheels. He is one of the largest engines working on Sodor and was brought to the Island to help with the heavy workload and pull heavy goods trains across the Main Line. Murdoch is as shy as he is strong, as he is actually a gentle giant. He can often be found seeking peace and quiet, away from the bustle of the yards and the Docks. He enjoys long hauls through the countryside and although he can get short of patience and a little annoyed if he does not get some alone time, he can be quite a reserved engine. Although he can be an independent worker, Murdoch is often content to join in, help and offer advice where he deems it worthy, but, despite being hard to miss due to his defining strength and size, he will not jump to put himself at the centre of attention.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Murdoch is based on a BR Standard Class 9F, which were used for fast and heavy goods trains. The class was the last of the BR Standards and the final steam engine class built by British Railways, with the last one, "Evening Star", built in March 1960. Due to the size and shape of the class, they where given the nickname "Spaceships." "Evening Star" and eight other 9Fs are preserved. One 9F, "Black Prince" holds the record for hauling the heaviest steam-hauled train in Great Britain, at 2,198 tons. "Evening Star" is also part of the National Collection.

Murdoch's basis
### Livery

Murdoch is painted dull orange with green and red lining. He has smoke deflectors, on which he wears red nameplates with his name in gold.

According to early concept art of him by Robert Gauld-Galliers, he was originally going to be painted maroon red with chrome yellow lining, but his livery was changed due to Arthur having a similar colour scheme, likely for merchandising reasons.

## Trivia

* In his concept art, he seems to have a double chimney, which were fitted on 9Fs built from 1958 onwards.
* Murdoch shares the same whistle sound with Arthur, which itself is an LMS whistle stock sound effect.
* The Motor Road and Rail system previously spelt Murdoch's name incorrectly as "Murdock."
* Murdoch's model used to be on display in Canada at Nitrogen Studios. The model was displayed with no face.
* The Halloween Engine in the eighth season episode, Halloween, used Murdoch's cylinders.
* Murdoch was once misspelled as Mordoch.
* Even though Murdoch's tender wheels are black, most merchandise ranges have them orange.
* The remote control used for Murdoch's eye mechanism, and later Stanley's, is now owned by Twitter user IsaacM6991.

## Lorry 3

**Lorry 2**

Andrew Leago

**Lorry 3**

Jacob Cranmer

The Horrid Lorries, individually referred to as Lorry 1, Lorry 2 and Lorry 3, are three small lorries who were incredibly rude to the engines.

## Personalities

The Lorries were arrogant, mean and rude towards the engines. They believed that the railway was inferior to the roadways and also enjoyed teasing the engines for their appearances. They were also very careless.

## Technical Details

### Basis

The lorries seem to be based on Foden OG range lorries, which were once a common sight around railway yards.

The Horrid Lorries' basis
### Livery

The Horrid Lorries are painted a brownish-red. Their registration plates are black with white lettering reading "LOR" followed by their respective numbers. They sometimes have grey tarpaulins over their flatbeds.

The lorries have also been seen in several other liveries aside from the standard brownish-red one and have been accompanied by other lorries in other medias:

* In the Thomas Visits the Docks puzzle and an official 65th anniversary board game, Lorry 1 is painted green.
* In the Round the Rails board game, while Lorry 1 is painted red, Lorries 2 and 3 are painted yellow and dark green respectively. There is also a "Lorry 4" painted blue. Each lorry was painted different colours to make them distinguishable from one another.
* Another Horrid Lorry, painted yellow, is seen at the crossing in the book, Thomas and Toby.
* In various magazines and books, the lorries are often seen without their registration plates.

## Trivia

* The Official Website, as well as various magazine articles and file facts, state that the Lorries were "especially built to work at Sodor Construction Company". It is therefore possible that they may have been originally intended to be a part of the Pack.
* A similar looking lorry appeared in the magazine story, The Carnival. However, this Lorry was introduced four months before the fifth season episode, Horrid Lorry, in which the Horrid Lorries made their debut appearances.
* Their engine sounds are shared with Bertie.
* Lorry 1 was the only one to be made in all merchandising ranges the Lorries were released in.
* Each lorry has individually shaped noses and eyebrows. However, there has been several instances in which the lorries share the same style facemasks.

Megara

Megara is a news reporter living in Crotoonia, alongside her husband Hercules.

## Personality

Local reporter for the Crotoonian Gazette, and wife of Olympian Hero (and local sports expert) Hercules, Megara is what some Crotoonians call "The Greek Queen of Sass." With a spunky, quick-witted, tough, and independent nature (with a bit of snarkiness and outspokenness), she's ready to take any story and any situation! Meg may seem a bit tough to the average newcomer, but she's alot more caring than you'd think. Even if she doesn't always show it, she does care a great deal for her friends.

## Trivia

* Meg is crushed by a falling pillar, is shown to be in pain, and shortly dies on-screen (or at least, her hand goes limp) - her dead body, pale and limp, is fully on screen for almost a full minute as Hercules cradles her and weeps. This makes Meg's death debatably the most graphic of all Animated Disney deaths.
* Meg's family relations differ very much between the movie and the original myths. Where some relatives are her step-in-laws (such as Hera) and some are her half-siblings-in-law (Apollo, Ares, Hephaestus, Hermes, Aphrodite, Artemis, Athena, and in some versions Nemesis) or her full siblings-in-law.
* Megara's role could be considered a combination of both Megara and Deianira, Hercules's respective first and second wives from the original myths; she has the name of the former, but her run-in.
* While in the Disney version Amphytryon and Alcmene are her adopted father-in-law and adopted mother-in-law, in the original myths Alcmene was her mother-in-law and Amphytryon was her stepfather-in-law.
* Meg is recognized for her unusually purple-colored eyes. Originally, they were intended to be blue but were changed to purple as film production progressed.
* Susan Egan, the actress who voiced Meg, is also famous for her portrayal of Belle in Broadway's Beauty and the Beast.
* Meg is known for her unique appearance, which differs from the "traditional" Disney style of animation. She has thick hair, a very slender waist, lengthy eyebrows, and a more angular stature.
* At the end of Hercules' end credits, a thank you to the entire team is slotted in, which includes one of Meg's signature lines, "It's been a real slice".
* Megara was the first heroine since Belle to have the same voice actress do her speaking and singing voice.
* Although she is an unofficial Disney Princess, Megara actually was a princess in Greek Mythology and is also a princess by marriage since she married Hercules in the TV series.
* Meg's last full speaking line in Hercules is "Congratulations Wonder Boy, you'll make one heck of a god." The last word she says in Hercules is "Look" during "A Star Is Born".
* For an unknown reason, on the cover of the VHS Cassette bow for Hercules, Megara has a magenta dress (instead of lavender) and dark brown hair (as opposed to auburn).
* Megara was supposed to appear in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days but was removed due to space restrictions. Her profile sprite was found through codes.
* Megara is a name of a town in Greece.
Spencer

Spencer is a streamlined engine from the Mainland near Sodor.

## Personality

The Duke and Duchess of Boxford's private A4 engine, Spencer is often lent to the higher ups in Crotoonia, like Sir Allen Featherington, Ariel and Eric, or sometimes other Crotoonian visitors, like Elsa and Anna of Arendelle. Spencer often likes to think he's one of the finest steam engines in the world, and usually tries to prove it to the other Crotoonians....usually ending up in cinders and ashes! Spencer likes to show off his speed and strength to the other engines, but most of them usually don't care, as they want to keep the work in Crotoonia flowing smoothly! Spencer is known to have a rivalry with Farnsworth, which always results in a race when the 2 are around!

## Technical Details

### Basis

Spencer is based on an LNER Class A4 Pacific. Olwin from Chuggington and Mallard, holder of the world speed record for steam locomotives, are other members of this class. An additional 5 members of this class survive in preservation.

Spencer's basis
### Livery

Spencer was painted blue-grey with black lining. From the tenth season onwards, he is painted metallic silver, still with black lining. He has red nameplates with his name in gold on the sides of his boiler. His livery may have been inspired by that of the first four A4s, which were painted in a "silver" livery. He has also gained permanent lamps on his front.

## Trivia

* On the Steamies vs. Diesels DVD, Spencer is mistakenly called a diesel, even though he is a steam engine. This is because in the game, Spencer says he does not have a whistle, but has an electric horn instead. However, his picture clearly shows him having a whistle.
* Spencer's whistle is a stock sound effect of a GWR whistle.
* Even though Spencer's tender wheels are black, most merchandise ranges have them blue-grey/metallic silver.
* Spencer's Hornby model incorrectly features him with black wheels. All other merchandise models have him with correct silver wheels.
* In his The Great Race promotional video, it states he is the holder of the world speed record for steam locomotives. In the actual special, it is stated that he is a former world record holder.
* Spencer is the first steam engine to be the main antagonist in a special, with that special being Hero of the Rails.
* At many Day Out with Thomas events, Spencer has Mavis' face.
* In the nineteenth season he gained two LNER style headlamps.

Amy Rose

Amy Rose (エミー・ローズ Emī Rōzu), also formerly known as Rosy the Rascal (ロージー・ザ・ラスカル Rōjī za Rasukaru), is a fictional character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic hedgehog with a major crush on Sonic the Hedgehog. Since meeting Sonic on Little Planet, Amy has become his self-proclaimed girlfriend and has attempted to win his heart by any means during their adventures. She wields the Piko Piko Hammer, a powerful melee weapon which she uses with skills second to none and never leaves home without.

## Personality

Amy in the main series is presented as being somewhat kind and girly. In Sonic the Hedgehog CD, she was referred to as an "optimistic tomboy" who loves fortunes and uses tarot cards. Because of her tomboyish nature, she became a playable character as a fighter in Sonic the Fighters. However, after Sonic Adventure, Amy had grown a more feminine personality, such as an interest in shopping and fashion, but that did not remove her tomboyish nature. However, in the later games, she has the personality of a girly-girl more so than a tomboy, unlike the earlier games. In the more recent games, Amy has become a bit more obsessive and far more aggressive, much to Sonic's dismay. She often shows her anger by pulling out her Piko Piko Hammer out of Hammerspace, sometimes threatening Sonic with it.
Islandside Tales Wiki

## Welcome to the Islanside Tales Wiki

It is all about the audio series called Islandside Tales.

## Describe your topic

This series will be almost like The Railways Of Crotoonia, but a few key differences. 1. There are not going to be any O.C.s (Original Characters) that have been made especially for The Railways of Crotoonia in Islandside Tales at all. 2. There are not gonna be any specific time limit for each story/special story, as long as it's long enough to tell a good story. 3. More recognizable characters will be added to this series, along with a band of O.C.s made especially for Islandside Tales. And 4. It's most likely gonna be an audio series, with the possibility of adding images to show viewers what happens in each scene of each story/special story.

## Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Clearing off a table, in my mind was set for two

Acting like it's nothing, but i'm feeling like a fool

And something's gotta break before another one brings me down

They bring me down (Yeah)

Next one had me trusting every word I thought was true

How could you keep lying as she's lying next to you

And something's gotta break before another one brings me down

They bring me down

[Chorus]

But what if there's something that I keep missing?

What if there's someone that I can't lose?

Nights when I'm crying, will he listen?

Isn't there anybody? (Anybody?)

What if there's someone that makes me happy?

Someone that I already knew

What if, what if, what if that anybody, anybody's you?

Any, anybody's you, yeah

[Verse 2]

Chasing after trouble with the one I wouldn't keep

One of many wasting time falling at his feet

Feels good going up then it crashes hard when he brings me down

They bring me down (Yeah)

I'm getting tired, tired

Of looking everywhere for somebody like you

I'm just tired, tired, and it brings me down

They bring me down

[Chorus]

But what if there's something that I keep missing?

What if there's someone that I can't lose?

Nights when I'm crying, will he listen?

Isn't there anybody? (Anybody?)

What if there's someone that makes me happy

Someone that I already knew

What if, what if, what if that anybody, anybody's you?

Any, anybody's you (Mmm), yeah

Anybody's you

[Verse 3]

Someone to listen

Someone to make me happy

Someone who loves me

What if that anybody's you?

Someone to listen

Someone to make me happy

Someone who loves me

What if that anybody is you?

[Chorus]

What if there's something that I keep missing?

What if there's someone that I can't lose?

Night when I'm crying, will he listen?

Isn't there anybody? (Anybody?)

What if there's someone that makes me happy?

Someone that I already knew

What if, what if, what if that anybody?

[Outro]

Oh, anybody's you (Any), yeah

Anybody's you, yeah

Anybody's you (Any)

Anybody's you

Anybody, Anybody

Anybody's you
Azul

Azul is a small Hispanic tender engine who lives at Kahlville Junction.

## Personality

Azul, a little Hispanic locomotive, isn't as busy as some of the other engines, but he still works hard with his deliveries of slate from the Denverville Mining Company, and will always be ready to pull passengers and tourists along the line. While he sometimes stays with the rest of the F.&F. R.W.T. Co. Ltd. engines, he lives at Greendale Junction with the Greendale Rocket, as it's closer to his workplace at the Denverville quarry. He's especially proud of his big whistle, which he won in a big railway race back on his home railway in Mexico.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Azul appears to be a freelance design and does not resemble a specific prototype.

### Livery

Azul is painted a two-tone blue livery ("Azul" being the Spanish for "blue", hence his name) and grey wheels.

## Trivia

* Azul started off as a minor character on 'Dora the Explorer' but his Mexican accent in the show was a little less evident. His big railway race took place in his debut episode.
Lucas

Lucas is a Northstar diesel engine who works on both the Northstar Line and the Crotoonian Main Line.

## Personality

Lucas is a Northstar diesel engine who's a part of the mainland team, bringing passengers to Crotoonia. He shares a friendly rivalry with Connor and Caitlin and would often have races with them. He's quite friendly. He often works with the Northstar Coaches and his cab coach, Emmet.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Lucas is based on the MP36PH-3C diesel locomotive built by Motive Power Inc. of Boise, Idaho. The launch customer for the MP36PH-3C was Caltrain, a commuter railroad in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Scruff

## Scruff the Scrunching Engine

Scruff is a small tank engine from The Island of Sodor.

## Personality

Scruff is a grubby little chap, who runs on steam but has a square diesel like body. He loves getting dirty as he shunts rubbish trucks ready for "scrunching" and he is good friends with Whiff, Irving and Warrior. In fact in his earlier days he has been known to run away from having to get clean. Like a tiny ant, Scruff can be seen carrying his tiny self around busily working in the background. He keeps up a cheerful demeanour to other engines and doesn't give much thought to what people think of him or how messy he can get sometimes.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Scruff is based on No. 9369 "Musketeer", a Sentinel 100 HP BE Type chain-driven vertical-boiler steam locomotive built in 1946 by Sentinel Waggon Works. "Musketeer" is preserved by the Northamptonshire Ironstone Railway Trust.

Scruff's basis
### Livery

Scruff is painted lime green with dark green stripes, funnel and front. He has brass nameplates on either side of his tanks, although his name is only written on these in merchandise. In the television series, the plates are completely blank.

## Trivia

* During his first appearance in Thomas and Scruff, Scruff did not have a rear coupling hook in the fourteenth series, yet he was seen pulling wagons. As of the seventeenth series, he now has a rear coupling hook.
* For some unknown reason, Scruff's nameplates have always been blank in the television series but not on his merchandise.
* In the twentieth series, Scruff gained lamps and brakepipes on his front and rear.
* His side tanks are considerably taller than his basis to accommodate his face.
* Scruff travels far faster in the television series than his basis is capable of.
Dear Friend

## Video

**Dear Friend** is a song originally by Stacie Orrico that Christina Grimmie covered on YouTube. It was uploaded on July 17, 2009.

## Lyrics

Dear Friend, what's on your mind?

You don't laugh the way you used to

But I've noticed how you cry

Dear friend, I feel so helpless

I see you sit in silence

As you face knew pain each day

I feel there's nothing I can do

I know you don't feel pretty

Even though you are

But it wasn't your beauty

That found room in my heart

Dear friend, you are so precious, Dear Friend

Dear friend, I'm here for you

I know that you don't talk too much

But we can share this day anew

Dear Friend, please don't feel like you're alone

There is someone who is praying

Praying for your peace of mind

Hoping joy is what you'll find

I know you don't feel weak

Even though you are

But it wasn't your strength

That found room in my heart

Dear friend, you are so precious, Dear Friend

La da da da da...La da da da da

La da da da da Yeah

Ooohh Heee heeee yeah

You are so precious

So precious

La da da ya

Ooo
Firemen

The fireman helps maintain the steam engine, and, along with the driver, keeps the engine in control and provides a voice of reason when an engine is being difficult.

If the driver is unwell or is called away for some reason, the fireman usually takes over and drives the engine instead.

While the engine is moving, they shovel coal into the fire and keep the water level where it needs to be, and fill up an engine's water tanks or tender. After a day's work is over, they clean out the ash from the firebox. They also couple the engine if a shunter is not available.

## Attire

A North Western Railway fireman's uniform consists of blue trousers, a black tie, a white shirt with a blue jacket over it, and a blue cap.

## Voice Actors

James' Fireman:

* Baby Lamb Creations

## Trivia

* From the eighth to sixteenth seasons of Thomas and Friends, drivers and firemen acted almost purely as background characters and are very rarely acknowledged, but from the seventeenth to twentieth seasons, they have been seen more often and have worked more realistically.
* To date, two firemen have been named: Sidney Hever, Edward's fireman, and Ted, Henry's fireman.
* As with the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, the steam engines of the Arlesdale Railway do not have firemen, as the drivers are capable of handling the duties that they do with the larger gauge engines since their cabs are so small.
Hoot and Toot

**Toot**

* Courtney Hallett

Hoot and Toot are siamese diesel-electric hybrid engines. They will appear later in Season 1.

## Personalities

A twin pair of goods engines on the Crotoonian Seaside Railway, Hoot (who's headstrong and bossy) and Toot (who's softer spoken, more practical, and tends to stick more to the rules) spend most time connected not only because they're siblings but they're nothing without each other. The two may get up into trouble with their bickering, but the guidance of older and more experienced engines like Duck and Yaemon can ensure that they stay really useful Chuggers. They are good friends with Piper, and they do work hard to deliver their goods...most of the time!

* They sometimes describe things as "hooting-tooting".
* Toot always seeks attention and is higly crafty, much to Hoot's annoyance.
* They are good friends with Piper.

Bonnie

Bonnie is a small tender engine who lives at Kahlville Junction.

## Personality

Head engine (and only engine) of the Toon Train Branch from the town of Inkblotia to the Gridinian Beaches, Bonnie is sort of an "every engine" with her special set of rolling stock. One minute she's the milk train between the villages, the next, she's taking carriages to the Inkblotia Castle grounds, the next she's at the coaling plant with Logan and Bertram, the list goes on. Bonnie, like Tootle, is still rather new, but she loves running her little line, passing by the big watermill and pulling her little trains along the line. She often stops along the Seaside Branch to help out from time to time, and she's best friends with Oliver and Duck, who loves learning about their GWR days...even if she's quite the motor mouth!

## Technical Details

### Basis

Bonnie seems to be of a freelance design. She does not appear to be based on a specific prototype. However she does share a wheel arrangement with GWR tender engines from the late 1800's.

### Livery

Bonnie is painted in pine green with beige lining and red buffers and cylinders. Her front wheels are pine green and grey while her tender wheels are pink and grey.

Travis

Travis is a tractor who works at Farmer Pickles' farm and is often seen hauling a wooden trailer. He helps out Bob, Wendy and the machines when they need it and keeps an eye on Spud the scarecrow.

## Personality

Travis is generally mature and smart. He always has a quick-witted comment to give. He's very caring to others, and is very headstrong and hardworking. He's both very busy and very helpful. Sometimes Travis can be sort of insecure, such as when he thinks he can't plow the field without Farmer Pickles' supervision in Travis Gets Lucky. However, in Pilchard's Breakfast, it is shown that Travis can work without Spud or Farmer Pickles.

Travis acts as almost a caretaker to Spud. Travis would hide on occasion usually for no reason maybe to supervise Spud without him noticing. The original intro has Travis and Spud gleefully dancing in the field with Pilchard and Bird. But in the Project: Build It! intro, Travis wasn't with Spud. Instead, he was hiding behind some sunflowers while unknowingly watching Spud leave with Scrambler. He deeply cares for Spud and gives him advice as well as almost taking care of him.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Travis appears to be a freelance design with no specific basis.

### Livery

Travis is turquoise with black tires. His grille mouth and exhaust pipe is red. The frame around his grille mouth is silver.

## Trivia

* Travis is the second most mature machine with Scoop being the first most mature. But Travis seems to be more mature than Scoop.
* Travis is one of the few machines to have a human name.
* In the US dub of Ready, Steady, Build!, Travis' voice became much less stuffy-sounding most likely due to the departure of Alan Marriott.
* He appeared less often in later seasons of the Original Series. He has a major role in Seasons 1 to 5, but from Seasons 6 to 9, it looks like Skip and Trix had taken his spotlight during late 2001 to early 2003. From Seasons 10 to 16, he gains his spotlight back as Skip and Trix no longer appear in the series. The same thing will happen again when Scratch is introduced in Ready, Steady, Build!.
* He only spoke in five episodes from Ready, Steady, Build! as that series gave him the least amount of screen time most likely due to the introduction of Scratch.
* Travis is the only machine character from the Original Series who never met J.J., Molly, Skip or Trix on screen. Although, he entered their yard in Spud's Statue (Season 9), so he could have met them off screen.
* In the Finnish version, Travis is called "Tatu". which is also Robert's name in the same dub.
* In the Danish version, Travis is called "Thomas".
* Travis appeared less in Ready, Steady, Build! which aired in 2011 for the UK.
Guysborough

Guysborough is a very grumpy garbage barge from The Big Harbour. He usually works with Theodore on garbage detail, as no one else really likes working with him.

## Personality

Guysborough is a barge that is always grumpy. He has an outlook that makes him think everything is nothing but rotten. A very disagreeable barge, he can be an annoyance to kind hearted Warrior. But if there's anything he actually does like, it's the stench of rubbish. Because of this, he hates being clean more than anything. And that's saying a lot.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Guysborough is of a freelance design. He is not based on a specific prototype.

* Guysborough and Bayswater are the only barges with whistles.
* Guysborough's eyes are controlled by the small knobs on the side of his head.
