### Bio

James is experimental mixed traffic engine, who works on the N.W.R. He often pulls the local passenger service on the mainline, though sometimes pulls goods trains, much to his disgust. He's very vain and arrogant and often sees himself above the other engines, as well as sees himself as an equal to Gordon. This can often get him into trouble. When James first arrived on Sodor he was painted black and and often pulled goods trains, and had his own coaches Annie and Clerable. After an accident with his faulty wooden brake blocks, Sir Topham Hatt had him repainted red, and his coaches were resigned to Thomas, for the Ffarquar branch.

### Persona

James can often think very high of himself and is very vain, but he dose have a caring side, and often sees sense. Usually after he gets his comeuppance. He dose his best to work hard and be really useful.

### Technical info

James is based on the (L&YR) Class 28, with an additional front bogey.

#### Livery

James is painted red, with gold and black lining, with the number five painted on his tender. Before arriving on Sodor, he was painted black with red lining, with the number five painted on his tender. In both liveries, he's had a white running board.
