Max & Monty/Coverage

### Thomas & Friends

Max first appeared without Monty when Jack came to the Pack, where he teased him and Alfie by spraying dust all over them as he rushed past them. Max then rushed towards Jack and stopped right in front of him, but Jack stayed still, angrily telling Max to stop bullying.

Max and Monty once caused Patrick to have an accident with his own concrete/cement when they were trying to bet on who was the most important. They insulted "the One-eyed Truck" story (even before Kelly began it) and also teased Percy and Alfie about it and were convinced that they were being chased by it until they knew it was actually Thomas. Max and Monty's reckless behaviour caused a water pump to burst, rendering Alfie trapped in thick mud. They also carelessly raced around the forest and crashed into the Lightning Tree. Later on, they teased Buster about how slow he is, so they had a race with him when they were testing the Sodor Racetrack. However, Buster won the race when Max and Monty bumped into each other while arguing and ended up in a ditch, although they got themselves out after a bull frightened them. Max and Monty later teased Alfie about his size and called him "Small fry" and "Half pint".

They later helped with the construction of the Harwick Branch Line. When Thomas led the others down the new branch line, they were seen beside the track with some workmen.

Much later, the two dump trucks worked with Jack, Alfie and Oliver on a dig-site on Thomas' Branch Line. They took a liking to racing Thomas, but ended up performing dangerous stunts and nearly causing accidents. Later, they dumped their loads over a bridge on the line and ended up derailing Thomas and Oliver on their way back to the site. After the accident site was cleared, Thomas then decided he would not be racing against the reckless dump trucks again.

After James' accident at Tidmouth Sheds when his brakes malfunctioned, Max and Monty helped with the shed's reconstruction.
Lexi/Coverage

### Thomas and Friends

When Thomas travelled to the Mainland, he befriended the experimental engines: Lexi, Theo, and Merlin. Thomas encountered Lexi and Theo in an empty yard, where he was warmly welcomed and refilled with coal. Later, Lexi, along with the other experimentals, helped Thomas rescue James, who had been trapped in the Steelworks.

Afterwards, Thomas encouraged Lexi (along with Theo and Merlin) to stay with Frankie and Hurricane and call the Steelworks their new home.

King Godred lived in Ulfstead Castle and fought off invaders from the island with the aid of his knights in armour.

The thieves were caught, but the crown was not seen again for hundreds of years. Many years later, Sir Robert Norramby restored King Godred's castle and wanted the crown to complete his plan. Stephen eventually found the crown in the Ulfstead Mine.

Hugo

## Hugo the Rail Zeppelin

Hugo is a gentle rail zeppelin. ​Hugo is unique for being fitted with a propeller. He is a very fast engine, whose spinning propeller makes him very popular with passengers.

## Personality

Hugo is a kind and gentle engine. He loves to be useful, but is also a bit sensitive. This was shown when his feelings were hurt by the other engines ostracising him, out of fear that his kind would replace them; but they soon saw that they were wrong and apologised to him.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Hugo is based on the Schienenzeppelin, known as "the Rail Zeppelin" in English, an experimental German propeller driven railcar built in 1929. It set several speed records, including the world rail speed record in June 1931 at 143 mph, which was not surpassed until 1954. It still holds the world speed record for a petrol powered rail vehicle. Due to safety concerns about having a moving propeller in crowded stations and its inability to haul rolling stock, it did not enter regular service and only a single example was built. It was scrapped in 1939 due to its material being needed by the German Army during the Second World War.

The Schienenzeppelin was rebuilt several times during its short career; Hugo is based on its appearance "as-built".

Hugo’s basis
### Livery

Hugo is painted silver, with a two-tone blue strip beneath his windows and a thin blue stripe above them. He has blue nameplates on the sides of his cab with his name in white and he has blue wheels. The area around his front lights is painted black.

## Appearances

### Thomas and Friends

* **Season 22** - Forever and Ever (stock footage)

## Trivia

* Hugo's driver is named Franz, who is most likely named after Franz Kruckenberg, the real life designer of Hugo's basis.
* Hugo is the second railcar to be introduced into the television series, the first being Daisy.
* Hugo has some modifications compared to his basis:
	+ His height has been reduced considerably.
	+ Much of his front nose has been flattened to accommodate a face.
	+ He appears to have two additional windows on his cab compared to his basis.
	+ He is fitted with a siren which he uses to warn nearby people that his propeller is starting.
	+ Unlike his basis, Hugo is able to move backwards.
	+ He runs on diesel fuel instead of petrol (gasoline), unlike the first shape of the Schienenzeppelin he is based upon. The real engine would eventually gain a diesel motor after its last rebuild.
* Even though he does not have any couplers on either his back or front, he is depicted with them in his Wooden Railway and TrackMaster toys.
* Hugo was the last new Wooden Railway character produced.

Rainbow Kate

### Title

Rainbow Kate the Railway Traction Shoppie, and Rainbow Kate the Good Little Shoppie

## Technical Details

### Basis

Rainbow Cake

Rainbow Kate is a Shoppie who works on the Shopvillian railway.

## Personality

Due to her brain being constantly doused in cake, Rainbow Kate is assumed to be stupid by the other Shoppies, especially Donatina. She believes that no one will take her seriously because a few people don't treat her with any respect. She is seen to be caring for other contestants, as shown when she spared Duke and is empathetic, showing that in that same episode she noticed that Duke misses Bertram. She also appears to be one of the smartest Shoppies as she used scientific proof to try to convince Donatina that she isn’t stupid. However, she has slow reflexes and didn't know that snow and gasoline create glue. Overall, Rainbow Kate is a rational person who seems more sympathetic to her fellow Shopkins than most other competitors.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Rainbow Kate is based on a piece of rainbow cake.

Rainbow Kate's basis
### Livery

Molly/Coverage

### Thomas and Friends

When Molly first came to the railway, Emily laughed at her for having to haul "empties" to the Coaling Plant. Molly's feelings were hurt, so Thomas came up with an idea. He had workmen decorate Molly's trucks with lanterns and cover them with tarpaulins, to make them look special to the other engines. The wind, however, blew off a tarpaulin in front of Gordon, Percy and Emily. Molly ran away, embarrassed, until she learned that engines at the depot needed her empty trucks to carry coal. When Molly arrived at the depot, Edward, Henry and James were grateful to see her; but Gordon was irritated when he had to wait at a signal for Molly's and Thomas' trains to pass.

When Emily had to work with Whiff, Molly was one of a number of engines who laughed at her. Later, Molly helped James with the removal of pipes on the line during a busy winter and then, she advised Thomas to slow down when he was taking a sailing boat for the Mayor of Sodor.

In The Great Discovery, Molly received news from Bill and Ben that Stanley had found Thomas. She later attended the Sodor Day celebrations at Great Waterton.

There's a celebration at every station
There's a Party Train coming down the line
Let's celebrate! Let's have a good time
It's not too late to join the Party Train
It's filled with fun and joy and laughter
So jump aboard! Hop on the Party Train

Let's have a party! Have fun with all our friends
Balloons and dancing, ice cream and party cake
A celebration, so let the fun begin
Everyone is welcome on board the Party Train
There's a celebration at every station
There's a Party Train coming down the line
Everyone make a line
Like you're a train
Blow your whistle
And march in time
Spin those wheels
On the railway track
You're on the Party Train
There's no turning back
There's a celebration at every station
There's a Party Train coming down the line
There's a celebration at every station

Stafford

## Stafford the Electric Engine

Stafford is a battery-electric shunting engine. He usually works at Knapford Yards and Knapford Station Yard.

## Personality

Stafford is a humble, courteous little chap with a Yorkshire accent. He is a very different sort of engine from any other on the North Western Railway. This is because Stafford is an electric battery engine; he is not a steam engine or a diesel engine. Stafford is fuelled by recharging his battery, which needs to be done frequently so he can go about his work as a shunting engine. Stafford is very patient, calm and mannerly. He does not let the antics of the bigger, haughtier engines bother him too much, keeps level-headed as he goes about his day, and brushes off any troubles without much fuss. He is more than content with taking things slow and not having to travel long distances and he is more than proud to work on the Fat Controller's railway.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Stafford is based on the North Staffordshire Railway's battery-electric No. 1. No. 1 was built at Stoke Railway Works in 1917 according to the specification of the NSR’s Locomotive Superintendent J.A. Hookham and Electrical Engineer A.F. Rock. It was designed to be able to contend with the narrow internal railway of Thomas Bolton & Sons Ltd. Copper Works. It was one of only two battery electric locomotives to be employed by a British main line company and, on one charge, could run for up to six hours and haul a load of more than four times its weight at 11mph. It was retired in 1963, having had only two drivers in its entire career. Since 1975, No. 1 has been preserved at the National Railway Museum.

Stafford’s basis
### Livery

Stafford is made of veneered wood with yellow lining. The number "1917" and gold nameplates are on his sides.

## Trivia

* Stafford is the first electric engine introduced in the television series and the first ever named.
* Stafford's number comes from the year his basis was built and his name comes from where his basis worked.
* Stafford's basis was made for shunting only. Despite that, he has been seen pulling goods trains on the main and branch lines.
* Stafford was the last character introducted in the Nitrogen Studios era.
Paxton

Paxton is a young diesel shunter. He often brings slate down from the Blue Mountain Quarry to other parts of the Island.

## Personality

Paxton is a young, gentle diesel who often works in or around the Blue Mountain Quarry and the Vicarstown Dieselworks. He is good-hearted and well meaning, but gullible, naïve, and easily misled. He also has a short attention span. He tends to be more of a follower than a leader and can sometimes find thinking for himself and making big decisions difficult. This may result in him being pressured into a situation he might not necessarily be comfortable with. However, if a friend is in trouble, Paxton will have the conscience and the self-assertion to do what he himself feels is right. As a result, the steam engines find that he is likeable and Paxton particularly looks up to Thomas at times. He also works alongside the narrow gauge engines frequently. However, Paxton can easily misjudge situations, misplace his trust in someone who might not have everyone's best interests at heart, particularly Diesel, and is rather impressionable, but his good nature will ultimately show him for who he really wants to be.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Paxton is based on a BR Class 08 diesel-electric shunter. Over seventy members of this class survive today in preservation, while around 100 remain in service on the national rail network. They were in fact the most successful shunting engines in the world, with 996 of them built. Diesel, the Diesel Shunter, 'Arry, Bert, Splatter, Dodge, Sidney, Ulli and the Mainland Diesels are other members of this class.

Paxton’s basis
### Livery

Paxton is painted dark green with yellow lining. His siderods and front bufferbeam are painted a rusty orange colour. His paint is chipped in places, and shows signs of weathering.

## Appearances

### Thomas and Friends

* **Season 22** - Forever and Ever, Seeing is Believing (cameo), Apology Impossible, The Water Wheel (stock footage cameo), Hunt the Truck (stock footage; does not speak), Rosie is Red (cameo), The Case of the Puzzling Parts and Counting on Nia (stock footage cameo)

## Trivia

* Despite Paxton's bio claims he's always called by his nickname being "Pax", but he has been consistently referred to by his full name rather than his nickname. He shares this dilemma with Norman and Sidney.
* According to the Licensing Source 2015 book, Ian McCue, former producer of Thomas & Friends, stated that Paxton is his favourite character.
* Paxton was never named in Day of the Diesels with the exception of the song.
* There have been a few occasions where Paxton has gone faster than his basis' top speed.
* Paxton has had a few changes in the television series as the series goes on:
	+ Season 19:
		- His siderods gained a metallic hue.
	+ Big World! Big Adventures!:
		- He gained a headlamp.
* According to the official Thomas and Friends Instagram, he and Diesel are not brothers, even though they are part of the same class.
	+ It's possible that one of them is a modified version of a BR Class 08, while the other is normal

Raul

Raul is a Brazilian vertical-boiler tank engine who participated in the Shunting Challenge at the Great Railway Show at least twice and was a former champion.

## Biography

### Thomas & Friends

Raul participated in the Great Railway Show's Shunting Challenge at least twice and won the championship at least once.

Once when he was being carried from Brazil to compete in England via a rail ferry, he accidentally arrived on the Island of Sodor when it made a wrong stop. Raul promptly backed onto the ferry, but not before Thomas caught up to him and attempted to start a conversation with him until being bumped out of the way by Vinnie.

At the show, Raul participated in the Shunting Challenge alongside Ivan, Gina, Ashima and Thomas, but ended up losing the event after championships were awarded to Thomas and Ashima.

After the Great Railway Show ended, Raul left the Mainland and returned to Brazil, though Thomas' victory left him with a desire to beat him at something else.

He would later meet Thomas again, during his adventures in Brazil. Unfortunately, things got out of his buffers during a game, and he later scored a goal, despite that not being the point of the game. He later had a contest with Thomas, though subsequent rematches put the visiting engine on a strain, and he was thoroughly unimpressed when he cheated during a later race. When his coupling snapped during a contest of strength, he was rescued from falling into the sea by Thomas giving up the contest. He later made up with him... but not before a beach ball bounced off his boiler into the sea.

## Personality

Raul is a feisty little tank engine from sunny Brazil who is an eager competitor. Playful as he is, his competitive nature often proves to be an annoyance in simple things such as playing a game, as he's a bit of a sore loser and doesn't like it when things don't go his way. Additionally, he has a bit of an ego when they do go his way. He also make everything into a contest if he can, using unfair advantages if desperate. After being saved by Thomas during a contest, he later admits that he was hoping to beat him at something after losing the Great Railway Show, but was more satisfied with being friends rather than rivals.

## Trivia

Raul is painted in the colours of the Brazilian flag.
Raul's promotional video incorrectly states that he is based off of the Two-Engined Sentinel 7109. This engine was originally the inspiration for Logan's number.
Raul had been partially modified to work on British rail: he has been given buffers and chain couplings. He has also been given a lamp.
Even though his wheels are grey, his merchandise depicts him with green or yellow wheels.
His name is the Latin translation for "Ralph".

## Quotes

“Back up, back up!”
―Raul ordering the engines back on to the ship, The Great Race
“Points!”
―Raul shouting to the signalman, The Great Race
“Oh well. You win some, you lose some.”
―Raul, Grudge Match

Ryan

Ryan is a purple tank engine. He takes goods on the Harwick Branch Line, while Daisy takes passengers.

## Personality

Ryan is an affable engine, who goes out of his way to be kind and is concerned when he sees others in trouble. Ryan would like to be a hero, but he is not actually as brave as he wishes he was and has a tendency to panic a little in the face of danger. It does not put him off trying though. Ryan is direct and sincere, but he has a good sense of humour too and is not above making a joke at his own expense. Ryan also appears to be somewhat of a pushover, as evidenced by how easily Daisy was able to make him do her work.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Ryan is based on the Great Northern Railway Class N2. Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley as a improvement of Henry Ivatt's Class N1, these locomotives were fitted with condensing apparatus because they were used for inter-city work in the Metropolitan areas of London, while later examples were usually seen around Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland.

Rajiv

## Rajiv of India

Rajiv is an Indian engine who was a contestant in The Great Railway Show. He competed in and won the Best Decorated Engine Parade. He usually carries passengers and goods from Kolkata to the north of India on the East Indian Railway.

## Personality

Rajiv is rather arrogant and vain, believing himself to be a "royal engine" due to his crown. He often makes patronising or belitting remarks to the other engines, but his heart is in the right place, he has a good sense of humour, and he does care for his friends deep down...though he'll often be sensitive if it comes close to his crown getting lost or damaged.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Rajiv is based off of the Fairy Queen, a 2-2-2 tank engine built in Leeds, England for the East Indian Railway Company. It is the oldest operating steam locomotive in regular service in the world. Built in 1855, it was originally used to haul post trains in West Bengal and was used on troop trains during the Indian Uprising of 1857. It was retired in 1909 after working in construction in Bihar and placed on display in Howrah. The Indian government gave the locomotive heritage status in 1972 and it was placed on display at the National Rail Museum in New Delhi until it was restored in 1997 for service working a luxury train between New Delhi and Alwar, Rajasthan. It is based at the Rewari Railway Heritage Museum, operated by the North Western Railway Zone.

Whereas the original Fairy Queen is broad gauge, Rajiv was scaled down to standard gauge.

Rajiv’s basis
### Livery

Rajiv is painted navy blue with yellow lining, a black boiler, white wheels and golden details. His funnel is painted in the colours of the Indian flag.
