Harvey

## Bio

**Harvey** is a relentlessly cheery, bighearted, helpful crane engine. He has a very odd shape, due to his crane attachment atop his boiler, which he can be upset about if the other engines make fun of it. However, he is very able to show that his crane is very useful in lifting cargo, trucks, and sometimes some smaller engines. He has a tendency to throw a load if he gets excited enough.

## Basis

Harvey is based on Dübs Crane Engine No. 4101, nicknamed "Dubsy", built in Glasgow, Scotland.
VWR World Championship

The **VWR World Championship** is a professional wrestling championship in Vegas Wrestling Roulette (VWR).

## History

The VWR World Championship was unveiled during a press conference announcing The Big Bang, VWR's debut show at the MGM Grand Casino. The title was defended in the main event in a contest between Shane Douglas and Rey Misterio Jr. While Douglas would go on to win the match, he would suffer a legitimate Grade 3 Hamstring Contusion forcing him to vacate his newly won title before he could ever defend it. Rey Jr. would face Alex Wright on the first episode of VWR Dynamite. Wright would beat Misterio Jr. and then defeat him once again in their subsequent rematch at Double or Nothing 2001. The following month Sting would win the World Championship from Wright at Summer Clash 2001. Sting would go on to defend the title 8 times, defeating the likes of Jerry Lawler in his final ever wrestling match, Don Callis, Dan Severn, Kip James, CM Punk, and Shane Douglas, before he would go on to lose the title at Championship Battle I to Jeff Jarrett.

Stanley (Mid Sodor)

## Bio

**Stanley** was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works sometime around 1917 and was sent to France to work on the trench railways during World War I. Following the war's end, he was sold as surplus to the Mid Sodor Railway in 1920 and was re-gauged. However, Stanley proved to be a bad bargain. As he had not been re-gauged properly, Stanley was prone to riding roughly along the track and often derailed, though he believed this was no big deal. Repeated attempts to cure this habit failed, and Stanley was stripped of his wheels and became a pumping engine.

## Basis

Stanley is based on a Baldwin Class 10-12-D 4-6-0 pannier tank engine.
Edmontosaurus

Edmontosaurus compared to the average man (Prehistoric Wildlife)

It was featured in, Walking with Dinosaurs (Called Anatotitan).
Diesel 10

## Bio

**Diesel 10** is an evil, villainous, manipulative, mischievous, and ravenous diesel engine who basically acts like a tyrannical boss-like figure to Splatter and Dodge. He absolutely despises steam engines, would call them taunting names like "Puffball", "Teapot" and "Tin Kettle" and is not above doing anything to get rid of them if possible. He is Sodor's strongest (but not quite largest) diesel, his power being enforced by his slightly malfunctioning claw, Pinchy. He can use this deftly, and is even able to use it to make a sculpture. Pinchy, though, seems to have a mind of its own, as it has been shown to "punch" Diesel 10 in the face from time to time, which he loathes. All engines, steam and diesel alike, fear or respect him.

## Basis

Diesel 10 is based on a British Rail (BR) Class 42 warship diesel-hydraulic engine with an added non-regulation hydraulic claw.

Toby

## Bio

**Toby** is old, but wise, hardworking and knowledgeable enough about running branch lines to justify running Thomas' line with Daisy after Percy's accident with the trucks until Thomas came back. He is also savvy enough to control the trucks. However, his advanced age and design means that he is weaker than the other engines. While Toby is always ready to work hard without any fuss, he can be a bit temperamental sometimes, especially when young and inexperienced engines who are full of themselves make things difficult for him, particularly Mavis and Daisy. However, work at the quarry line often soothes off his moods without any cause of grief to anyone, except of course his old faithful coach, Henrietta.

Although Percy fears them, they do not have the intelligence or villainy to match Diesel 10's. They enjoy watching Diesel 10's plans backfire but are also prone to making a mess of things. Despite initially siding with, they seem reluctant to destroy a fellow engine, even a steam engine, and eventually abandon Diesel 10 in the end.

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.

As such, Thomas and Stanley are now firm friends. There is nothing Stanley would not do for another engine. And if he could not do it, he would find someone who could. He is sleek, smart, and stylish and his silver and light grey appearance, with striking red wheels and a shining smokebox certainly makes him look the part as he eagerly goes about his work.

Duke

## Bio

**Duke**, named after the Duke of Sodor, is the oldest and most experienced of all the narrow gauge engines. He lived on the Mid Sodor Railway as its No. 1 engine from its opening in 1880 until its closure in 1947. He worked with Stuart, Falcon and several other engines who came and went, until the line went bankrupt and closed. Duke, however, was sheeted and was left in the abandoned sheds for the next 22 years before being found and rescued in 1969, and he was moved to the Skarloey Railway where he works today. With Sir Robert Norramby being his grace in present day, Duke works on the Skarloey Railway with his friends but will also do runs with his picnic train up to Ulstead Castle and will sometimes work there giving tours when he doesn't have a job to do for Mr. Percival.

Sonny

## Bio

**Sonny** is a complicated engine. While a bit of an outsider, he often follows along to whatever orders he has been given from his superiors, unfortunately landing him at the hands of Baz and Bernie's scheming minds. During his time at the ownership of the two thieves, Sonny displayed tendencies to be gruff, sinister and rude, repelling other engines. However, after Thomas helped him on a dairy run and he got praised by Sir Robert Norramby, the well-tank engine turned over a new leaf, standing up to the thieves and working hard to be really useful, as well as willing to tell the truth if needed. Although he is sometimes distrusted for his past sins, Sonny has proven to be trustworthy and reliable, making him a true asset to the North Western Railway.

## Basis

Sonny is based on the Haydock Foundry well-tank locomotives.
Mavis

## Bio

**Mavis** first came to Sodor, she was naïve, arrogant and did not take advice very well. She was mostly interested in her own ideas but was brought down to earth after her embarrassing incident at the Ffarquhar crossing. Still, she wanted to see more of the line and schemed to have the trucks push her past the level crossing beyond the quarry - this inadvertently resulted in a near accident for Toby. After rescuing him, Mavis resolved to change her ways for good. She is now more mature and capable of keeping the trucks in line and more willing to take advice.

## Basis

Mavis is a based on a British Rail (BR) Class 04 0-6-0 diesel locomotive.
Paxton

## Bio

**Paxton** is a young, kind, and gentle diesel who often works in or around the Blue Mountain Quarry and the Vicarstown Dieselworks. He is easily described as the opposite of Devious Diesel as he is good-hearted and well meaning, but gullible, naïve and easily misled. Due to these faults, he can be easily tricked by engines such as Diesel and has a tendency to take sarcasm literally (such as when Gordon ordered him to move over so he could fill up with diesel fuel when the big engine was obviously being sarcastic). He also has a short attention span, but a better memory than Sidney. 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 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.

## Basis

Paxton is based off BR Class 08 shunting diesels. Diesel, Sidney, Levi, 'Arry and Bert, Splatter and Dodge, and The Bridlington Shunters share the same basis.
Duck

## Bio

**Duck** knows how to hold his own and tends to stand for no nonsense from any engines that might get ideas above their station and try to order him or others about; as a result of this and his strength, most tank engines look up to him. Duck is often welcoming of newcomers, even most diesels as long as they are not rude. He will often support the underdog, stick up for his friends and help others see the error of their ways. However, occasionally he does have the "Tank Engine sense" of teasing the bigger engines such as Gordon. Duck is also known to have a rivalry with James, but he has earned the respect of the bigger engines and has firm friendships with Edward, Percy, Oliver, Toad, BoCo and the Scottish twins.

## Basis

Duck is based on a Great Western Railway (GWR) 57xx Class 0-6-0 pannier tank engine with added sand boxes.
John (Mid Sodor)

## Bio

**John** was a narrow gauge saddle tank engine who worked on the Mid Sodor Railway. He arrived along with Jennings and was tasked with helping to take the boat trains during the busy summers. However, he can be a bit nervous and a little bit of a worrier from time to time although he doesn't let that be his defining trait as he wants to be really useful. He worked on the railway for its final few years until its eventual closure and was sold off with all the other remaining engines.

## Basis

Previously working in Bridlington Goods Yard, this little diesel who once had a small role in the way things worked, is now in charge of his very own yard. Sir Topham Hatt was pleased with his work, but the praise soon went to his head. Larry began to procrastinate and push all of his work until the last minute. However, he was able to get everything done before getting into any trouble, but not for long. Larry soon learned, through many attempts, it's better to get your jobs done first, then you can spend the rest of the day "chilling".

## Trivia

* Larry's number is derived from EpicLafiteau's birthday, April 16th.
Whiff

## Bio

**Whiff** is cheerful and optimistic. He enjoys his job of collecting rubbish/garbage. He either does not seem to care what the other engines think about him or is oblivious to their opinions. Despite that, he is friendly and always does his job well at the Waste Dump. Whiff has been shown to be incredibly kindhearted and rather meek, disliking confrontation despite others' cruel treatment of him because of his job at the waste dump. He is somewhat naïve, as he did not realise why the other engines tried to avoid him so much. However, in Misty Island Rescue, he is shown to know a bit about Sudrian history, since he knew about the tunnel connecting Misty Island to Sodor.

## Basis

Whiff is based on the Northeastern Railway's 2-2-4T No. 66, named "Aerolite".

Being a sensitive engine, she often worries about fading into the background. Sometimes taking "empties" makes her feel less important and sad, but in the end, she will usually see that it is a vital part of operations and an important task after all. Molly has a peacekeeper attitude, tends to be rather sensible, and is looked upon as a "big sister" by some of the other engines. However, because of her sensitivity, she can be easily embarrassed or upset by conflict, and will steam away to avoid it, but she will usually have the courage to do what she thinks is right. Molly likes to be as good as everyone else and wants the other engines to think the best of her.
