## Dowager Hatt's Friends

{{infobox character

Fireman.pngIIBertie'sChase9.pngI
**Dowager Hatt's Friends** are two elderly ladies. They often go on trips with Bertie to different places, such as Bluff's Cove. They also seem to be thrill-seekers like Dowager Hatt. One is occasionally seen without the other.

Sometimes they can be seen with an elderly gentleman whom they seem to be good friends with (one of the ladies can even be seen kissing him at one point). They were some of the very important visitors that attended Dowager Hatt's tour of the island and after party at Knapford. One of them was presented with a bouquet of flowers from a member of the railway staff on Sodor Surprise Day. One of them also served as a judge at The Great Railway Show.
It is known that one of the ladies is named **Lady Toffington**. Whilst she was in covering for Sir Topham Hatt as head of the railway, Dowager Hatt ordered Edward to pick up a cake and take it to Vicarstown for her.

## The Welsh Bird Watcher

{{infobox character

```

```

Fireman.pngIIBertie'sChase9.pngI
**The Welsh Bird Watcher** regularly travelled up and down Thomas' Branch Line looking through a pair of binoculars. This confused Thomas, Annie and Clarabel who thought he was an inspector. Thomas decided to ask the man who said he was not an inspector at all; he was actually a bird watcher looking for a very rare bird.

Later, the bird watcher pulled the emergency cable inside Annie in a moment of excitement. He explained that he had heard the rare bird and wanted to have a look at it. The guard sternly told the man that spotting a bird was not an emergency. When Thomas tried to pull away, there was a problem; Annie had developed a wheel flat and could not move properly. All of the passengers had to squeeze into Clarabel and they were very cross with the bird watcher. Thomas was cross about having to leave Annie behind, too. The Fat Controller scolded the bird watcher who apologised for his actions.

Thomas refused to forgive the man for damaging Annie and refused to pick him up the next day which caused Thomas to be reprimanded by the Fat Controller. Some time later, the Welsh bird watcher managed to find his rare bird at Maithwaite.

He is not to be confused with the bird watcher who appeared in the thirteenth series episode, Henry's Good Deeds.

The Welsh Bird Watcher seems to be acquainted with The Lady in the Pink Shirt as he was seen with his arm around her in many episodes.

## The Deputy Minister

{{infobox character

Fireman.pngIIBertie'sChase9.pngI
**The Deputy Minister** arrived on Sodor to present Sir Topham Hatt with an award for "Services to Transport". The Deputy Minister arrived on Spencer, who was so busy trying to get the minister to the station in time, that he caused confusion and was diverted onto a branch line. When they finally did arrive at Knapford, the Deputy Minister said he was not impressed and refused to travel home with Spencer. Throughout the day, the other engines all competed to be given the special job of taking the minister home. Due to all their rushing about, the engines caused a lot of trouble. The Fat Controller offered to lend the minister his car to get home, but Spencer said that he had learned from his mistakes and that he wanted a second chance. The minister agreed to give both Spencer and the railway a second chance. The minister returned to Sodor the next day and was impressed with what he saw while the engines worked normally. He then presented a special trophy to the Fat Controller.

The Deputy Minister lives on the Mainland and reads the Sodor Times newspaper. He can be firm at times, but can also be understanding.

Fireman.pngIIBertie'sChase9.pngI
**Albert's Wife** is an unnamed woman and Little Thomas's mother.

One day, she walked onto the platform at Knapford pushing her baby in a pram and climbed aboard Thomas' train. When they stopped at the signal, she tried to calm her baby down whilst the passengers started getting annoyed at his constant noise. She had to get off at Ffarquhar with her baby. The mother and her baby waited to get back on the train at Ffarquhar. The baby continued crying every time Thomas stopped at every station. Once they got back to Knapford, the mother kept trying to calm her baby. Thomas asked the Fat Controller if he could miss his break and take the mother and her baby on a journey with no stops at every station, so they could both get some rest and thought it was a very kind idea and so had it arranged. Thomas took mother and her baby along his branch line without any stops at every station as not only did her baby fall fast asleep, but also his mother. When Thomas returned to Knapford, she decided to name him Thomas after the day's events.

## Little Thomas

{{infobox character

```

```

Fireman.pngIIBertie'sChase9.pngI
**Thomas** (previously known as ***Thomas the Baby***) is a young boy who is Albert's son. As a baby, he annoyed Thomas, Annie, Clarabel and their passengers with his consistent crying especially when Thomas would stop at a station, but seemed to stop crying whenever Thomas continued to pull his train. So he and his coaches decided to give the baby and his mother a ride all around Sodor which drifted him to sleep. As a thank you, Albert and his wife decided to name their baby after Thomas. He later appeared in the twenty-fourth series, as a young boy, and is now referred to by his nickname 'Little Thomas'.

'Little Thomas' is a cheerful young boy, who shows great interest in trains (with particular regards to a certain tank engine of the same name) and animals. It was he who managed to form a strong bond with Fuzzy, a stray dog, and persuaded Albert to adopt him.

## The Puppet Show Entertainers

{{infobox character

```

```

Fireman.pngIIBertie'sChase9.pngI**The Puppet Show Entertainers** were a duo of puppeteers whom Daisy was asked to pick up by the Fat Controller to take to Harwick for a performance for the children. Thinking that they were very special performers, Daisy refused to pick up any other passengers, thinking that she should be at her best. When she picked up the performers, she refused to take their luggage van for the same reason, leaving it behind. When they arrived at Harwick, the puppeteers were disappointed to find that there were no children at the station and that their props had been left at Knapford. With no time to go back to the station to get the props, the puppeteers put on their performance from one of Daisy's windows.

The Female Puppet Show Entertainer appears in some episodes wearing a yellow dress and a yellow sun hat.

Fireman.pngIIBertie'sChase9.pngIWhile Thomas was working in India, he encountered a pair of **tiger hunters**.

The duo privately hired Rajiv under the pretence of tiger spotting, but had brought a cage in order to capture one. Shankar noticed this and he and Thomas were able to warn Rajiv, while the pair cleared a tree branch from the line. Rajiv distracted them by taking them in circles around the tiger sanctuary, while Shankar dressed as a tiger to fool them. This gave Thomas enough time to get Charubala and the police, who arrested the pair and locked them in their own cage, while they pleaded it was just a misunderstanding.
