Douglas

**Douglas** is a current member of The North Western Railway. He works on The Little Western Branch Line, along with Duck, his twin brother Donald, and formerly Oliver, before he left Sodor, and then again when Molly brought him back. Exactly like his brother, Douglas can pull both passengers and freight, and can handle both very easily.

## Personality

Douglas, along with his brother Donald are Scottish twin engines. They are practical, peppery, proud and level-minded, but, despite their maturity, they enjoy playing practical jokes and have been known to impersonate one another in the past. They are fully capable of being firm with the other big engines, such as Gordon and Henry and even the Troublesome Trucks know better than to try their tricks on them. The twins both pull their weight on the Main Line and both Duck and Edward's branch lines. They can enjoy a joke with any engine. They are happy to act as the brawn of Sir Topham Hatt's steam-driven goods haulers. Both are smart. Between the two, Douglas is the smart, quick-thinking, calmer-natured one of the two. He and Donald are very loyal to their friends as well, so if anybody messes with them, they'll have to go through the Caledonian twins! They were fitted with nameplates to specifically end this element of their humour. They hate to be parted from each other, but, like most twins, they occasionally have their arguments among themselves and can squabble with one another.
