Murdoch

## Bio

**Murdoch** is a mighty, powerful engine with ten drive wheels. He is one of the largest engines working on Sodor and was brought to the Island to help with the heavy workload and pull heavy goods trains across the Main Line. Murdoch is as shy as he is strong, as he is actually a gentle giant. He can often be found seeking peace and quiet, away from the bustle of the yards and the Docks. 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 his defining strength and size, he will not jump to put himself at the centre of attention. After spending some time fully loaned to the Mainland, Murdoch returned to Sodor. Murdoch still takes goods trains to and from the Mainland, but he's happy to finally call Sodor his new home.

Diesel 10

## Bio

**Diesel 10** is a vile, conniving, bullying, and raving diesel locomotive. He absolutely despises steam engines, and would call them taunting names like "puffball" and "teapot." 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 hates very much. All engines, steam and diesel alike, fear and respect him. Despite his aggressiveness, he will help on occasion since Sir Topham Hatt brought him back, but only when it suits his personal interest. He has a caring side, but he very rarely shows it.

## Appearances

### Season 3

* How Diesel 10 Stole Christmas
* Top of the Class

## Voice Artist

* EpicLafiteau (*Evil Like Diesel only*)
* SilverBand7

## Trivia

* Diesel 10's hydraulic claw, Pinchy, is an illegal modification. Among other reasons, it makes him too tall for the British loading gauge.
* According to Mr. Conductor, putting sugar in his fuel tanks would make him stuck.
* Diesel 10's voice and portrayal in the series is primarily based on his voice actor from the original cut of *Thomas & The Magic Railroad,* Australian actor Keith Scott. Scott's interpretation of the character was thought to be too frightening for children and replaced with Neil Crone in the final product, but *Sudrian Stories* leaning into Diesel 10's villainous roots meant that Scott's interpretation was the perfect medium between the brutish, aggressive Neil Crone version of the voice and the more sophisticated, articulate Matt Wilkinson version of the voice.
	+ Diesel 10's portrayal is also inspired by various incarnations of Sonic the Hedgehog's archnemesis, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, specifically Long John Baldry's bombastic, goofy portrayal from *Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog* and Jim Cummings' more serious, intimidating portrayal from *Sonic the Hedgehog* (AKA *SatAM).* An arrangement of Robotnik's leitmotif from the former series, arranged by Sheila Lieber, often appears when Diesel 10 is on screen, particularly when he is monologuing about one of his evil plans.
Winston

## Bio

**Winston** is Sir Topham Hatt's track inspection vehicle, and is as devotedly thoughtful and loyal as a butler. He is willing, helpful and very patient with Sir Topham Hatt's, frankly, terrible driving skills, often reminding him that it is still "early days" whenever something goes wrong. Winston helps Sir Topham Hatt navigate about the railway without inconveniencing any of the engines while they are going about their work. Being a car on rails, he may look unconventional. But Winston is highly tolerant, considerate, patient, sensitive to others and is only too happy to do what he can for Sir Topham Hatt, though he can, at times, become rather distracted.

Butch

## Bio

**Butch**, also known as the "Sodor Heavy Recovery Unit", is a breakdown vehicle. He is kept busy in construction areas, clearing rubble, towing broken-down or stranded vehicles or assisting in engine rescues. This can sometimes make him feel a bit sour, only being called in when someone has crashed, but nevertheless Butch is serious about his job and loves working, especially with his railway friends. Despite his size, Butch has a kind heart and is always ready when his service is needed. He is a proud member of the Sodor Search and Rescue crew and wouldn't have it any other way, even if Flynn gets on his nerves sometimes!

## Bio

Fergus Duncan is very passionate about his work and never married. He preferred instead to devote his life entirely to work on his railway.

Like every other controller of their own railway on Sodor, he acts as a fatherly figure to his engines and always knows when to be stern with them should they misbehave.

Stanley

## Bio

**Stanley** is the "boy-next-door" of Sir Topham Hatt's Railway. Cool, courteous and cheery, he is a little bit bigger, a little bit newer and a little bit stronger than Thomas, which, at first, made Thomas jealous when all focus seemed to be on this shiny, new arrival, especially when he began helping with the restoration of Great Waterton. However, even Thomas was soon won over by Stanley's positive attitude, charm and friendliness and came to see why he was so popular and well-liked among the other engines. As such, Thomas and Stanley are now firm friends. Stanley is incredibly compassionate and empathic: there is nothing he 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.

To other engines such as Charlie, Stafford and Philip, Stanley was the general consensus among their team as the "leader of the Shunting Yards" at Knapford. Stanley was given the opportunity to become station pilot at Great Waterton, and run goods trains there. He decided to take Sir Topham Hatt up on the offer, if Stafford could be put in charge of the shunters. Sir Topham Hatt christened the Crovan's Gate to Great Waterton branch line as "Stanley's Branch Line" (formerly known as "Stepney's Branch Line", who has long left Sodor). Stanley is proud to run his own branch, and is even prouder living in the town he helped rebuild so many years ago.

Tunnel Vision

**Tunnel Vision** is the fifth episode of Season 1 of Sudrian Stories.

## Synopsis

In the summertime, railfans and ferroequinologists visit Sodor and enjoy taking pictures of the engines. Despite there being rules about not getting too close to trains, Percy finds out that one man doesn't listen very well and ends up getting himself in trouble.

## Plot

During the summer, the engines deal with even more passenger flow than ever. Dozens of railfans flock to the island's hotspots, and while some engines enjoy the extra workload, or getting their pictures taken, some of the other engines like Duck began to grow fed up. However, Duck is relieved to be working in the yard with Percy. When Duck arrives at the yards, he complains about feeling exhausted all day, but Percy offers to take his train to give Duck some time in the yard away from the chaos.

On his way, Percy comes across many railfans and photographers. He doesn't mind stopping for pictures until it becomes too much. Soon, Percy grows annoyed with them stopping him every few minutes, delaying his job. After dropping off his train at Tidmouth, Percy complains to himself about the annoying passengers. Distracted by his thoughts, Percy isn't paying attention. His driver quickly applies the brakes just before bumping into a man standing right in the middle of the tunnel! Shocked to see a man on the rails, Percy and his driver confront the man, who stumbled into the tunnel trying to get a better shot of the engines.

Percy then drops the man off at Knapford Station, where Sir Topham Hatt was waiting to give him a stern talking to. Percy decides to cool off by heading up to Arlesburgh to watch the sunset, where he finds Duck. The two are about to watch the sunset when the railfan walks up between them. He says he wanted to get a picture of the sunset before he went, but now he's afraid he'll miss his ship. Percy volunteers to take the railfan back to the docks in return for being rude to him earlier. Arriving at the ship just in time, the railfan takes his final picture: Percy, the engine who saved his life, twice!

He was eventually rediscovered by Thomas who helped Hiro to be fully restored to his former glory. Hiro is also very close to his friends on Sodor, knowing that even in a different location they will always be his friends.

James

## Bio

**James** is very proud of his splendid red paintwork. He hates pulling trucks, and believes that he should only pull coaches. He thinks himself superior to the others, and can be shallow, boastful, and vain, particularly to those who appear old-fashioned, weak, slow, or dirty. This has caused him to have somewhat of a rivalry with Toby. However, on a number of occasions, he has found himself in need of help from those whom he has insulted and is, in the end, apologetic. James was the last engine to retain a prejudice against Diesels. However, after stalling on a cold day, he was rescued by the Works Diesel, and James had to admit that nothing was wrong with Diesels. This appears to be one of the few lessons that has stuck. Despite everything else, James has shown a caring side, is normally hard-working, and like everybody else, wants to be a responsible, reliable and really useful engine on Sir Topham Hatt's railway.

You're a Mean One, Diesel 10

**You're a Mean One, Diesel 10** is a song featured in How Diesel 10 Stole Christmas. It is performed by Chase the Ferroequinologist and Enterprisingengine93. The track was recreated by ThomasSebyMG.

## Lyrics

**Dodge:** You're a mean one, Diesel 10
Your soul's as black as oil
You're a freak of engineering, you're the railway's own gargoyle, Diesel 10
Your paint looks like a tray of fruit that, has been left out to spoil!
**Splatter:** Just face the music; you're a monster, Diesel 10, yes you are!
Your heart's a rust-filled gap
You've a smarmy smirk of pleasure, while your claw is full of scrap, Diesel 10
I wouldn't mess with ya, cause you could rip my lips off my trap!
**Splatter and Dodge:** You're a foul one, Diesel 10
You are really just the worst!
With a face so gnarled and ugly, we're both pretty sure you're cursed, Diesel 10...
**Dodge:** Oh yeah
You're a vile one, Diesel 10
You have roaches in your fans...
**Splatter and Dodge:**...but we're happy to be out here, helping with your evil plans, Diesel 10
**Splatter:** Cause honestly I would take this over
Being melted down into cans!
**Dodge:** Na na na na na da da da!
Na na na na na!
**Splatter:** Hopefully recyclable cans!
**Dodge:** Na na na na na da da da!!
**Splatter and Dodge:** Ba shooby dooby doo!
**Dodge** (*spoken*): The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote...
"Boss!"
**Splatter:** Bossed!
**Dodge** (*spoken*): Aw dang! We ran out of tenses!
**Splatter** (*spoken*): I personally feel like we should take it from the top-
**Diesel 10** (*spoken*): WHY DON'T YOU TWITS SHUT UP!?
## Scrapped Lyrics

* **Splatter:** I wouldn't mess with ya, cause you could rip and tear off my trap!
* **Dodge:** Save all the whales and turtles too!

Spencer

## Bio

**Spencer** is very arrogant and pompous and considers himself to be above doing menial duties such as shunting. None of the engines like him, especially Thomas and Gordon. When he came to build the summer house, Spencer proved himself to be very nosy, sneaky, disobedient and rather neglectful. Despite being closely related, Gordon and Spencer have never gotten on very well with each other. This is mainly because of his pompous behavior, which exceeds even that of Gordon's. Although he has shown a kind side when he realizes his mistakes. This side once came through when he helped Percy find his way home to Tidmouth Sheds.

Caroline

## Bio

**Caroline** is a vintage car owned by a cricketer from the Elsbridge cricket club. Caroline enjoys taking leisurely drives along the beautiful Sudrian countryside. She dislikes being pushed along too fast, as it will overheat her engine. She is very calm in nature and appreciates the engines. She loves the occasional picnic where she is parked for the duration.

Belle

## Bio

**Belle** is a bold, big, blue tank engine, who is fitted with two water cannons atop her tanks, from which she can shoot water to fight fires. She also has a whistle and a big brass bell. Belle is lively, loud and proud, with a big personality. While she may come across as bolshy, highly self-assertive and overwhelming, Belle will always have the best of intentions at heart. She always wants to do her best and be the best she can be, causing her to be daring, energetic and bursting with enthusiasm. Although fighting fires is always at the top of her list of priorities, Belle has also been known to perform goods duties about the railway. Long ago, Belle volunteered to become a firefighter after watching Flynn in action. She worked her way up to the top, and when she arrived on Sodor, was honored to join the Sodor Search and Rescue Team.

Edward

## Bio

**Edward** is kindhearted and always keen to help a friend in need. The small engines trust him to lend a listening ear and sympathetic advice. He is a hard worker too, and always does his best to finish a job. Sadly, the big engines often see Edward as old-fashioned and slow. While it is true he is the oldest engine on the North Western Railway - it must be noted he helped build it - he has proved time and time again that he is more than capable of working as hard as any engine, but he is a more clever and wiser engine, too. Despite his reputation of being kind and friendly, Edward has acted cheeky. Edward also acted with a lack of confidence in himself in that he keeps secrets from the other engines and Sir Topham Hatt.

## Bio

Many years later, he was rediscovered on a siding by Marion and now works alongside Stephen and Millie at Ulfstead Castle. He is kind, friendly and loves working hard. However, he sometimes has questioned his own purpose nowadays, since engines are now far bigger and stronger. Despite this, he has accepted his place as an irreplaceable historic figure on the railway. He is also good friends with a lot of engines on the railway. Along with his new position, he has developed a strong admiration and respect for history and its remaining standing figures like Stephen and considers him a firm friend.

Elizabeth

## Bio

**Elizabeth** is a vintage Sentinel steam lorry, originally owned by Sir Topham Hatt. Elizabeth does not like laziness or rudeness and will respond to both in the strongest terms. Because of this, she can often come off as harsh and severe. Although she believes roads are superior to rails, she often helps the engines out. She is very sensitive about how others refer to her by her age. She has a special fondness for her original owner Sir Topham Hatt, and it seems that even he never seems to take offense or get angered by her strong statements when she criticized the way he drives.

## Appearances

* It is currently unknown when Elizabeth will appear.

Slip Coaches

## Bio

**The Slip Coaches** are three Great Western bogie coaches who work with Duck on The Little Western. They are special as they can be uncoupled at stations without the engine stopping. Duck calls them Slippies. Like most coaches, they do not like being bumped by an engine. They can be very judgmental if they are not treated right, and need to be handled delicately.

Daisy

## Bio

**Daisy** is a Diesel rail-car, who has been known to consider herself "highly sprung, and right up to date!" She was brought to help run passenger services on Thomas' branch line, while Thomas was "indisposed" after running into the Stationmaster's house. She can be hard to please, most indignant, and highly opinionated. She is confident in herself and can sometimes boast of her abilities in particular situations, unconcerned, despite having never actually been in such a position before. She will sometimes presume she can show other engines a thing or two, despite knowing little on the matter, until she actually learns for herself. She now works on the Harwick branchline with Ryan. Daisy can be described as a self-obsessed diva. She has knowledge in the French language as well.

Skarloey

## Bio

**Skarloey** is the sage of the Skarloey Railway and is an old, faithful little engine. Although once full of enthusiasm and his own ideas in his youth, Skarloey is now one of the oldest engines on the Island. He is a calm-natured, quaint, and mature engine and may often try to guide or watch over less experienced narrow gauge engines in his firm but fair and friendly manner. He acts kindly to engines and passengers alike and always enjoys a gentle, smooth journey through the woods by the lakeside and stopping at all the gates and stiles he remembers so well.

## Trivia

Nia

## Bio

**Nia** is a clever and resourceful engine who can find a solution to any problem if she puts her mind to it. Surviving for years in the African desert on the run from scrap merchants and then her versatile work as a utility engine on Sir Topham Hatt's railway has given her a sharp mind that can just as easily solve problems as fire off zingers to put the more haughty engines in their place. She is a fiercely independent spirit with a stubborn streak a mile wide and doesn’t sugar-coat her opinions about what she thinks is the right thing to do, causing some of those who don’t get to know her to think she’s rude, but they’re quickly won over by her quick wit. Nia can be self-righteous, honest to a fault, and have hesitation trusting new people and vehicles, causing her to feel isolated at times and occasionally close herself off. However, when her friends remind her about how deeply she’s appreciated, it helps her open up and be more like her usual self again.

Neville

## Bio

**Neville** is a steam engine, whose square body may cause others to look at him as having diesel-like qualities. Upon his arrival, after being seen with 'Arry and Bert, who were actually teasing him, Neville was the topic of a rumor regarding him being friends with the diesels and being horrid to steam engines, despite his jolly greetings to the engines. Luckily, the rumors were quickly seen for what they were and Neville's true personality was allowed to shine through. Neville is gentlemanly, highly enthusiastic, and kind, if a little naive. Neville never holds a grudge, but can be easily hurt by unkind comments or not being accepted by others who judge him only by his appearance. Otherwise, he is bubbly, ready to pull together, and happy to make new friends. Neville is similar to Thomas, as he always wants to be really useful.

Sidney

## Bio

Sidney is a bit of a forgetful engine. He starts his day at one location and ends up at another, not remembering how he got there. When it was his turn for repairs at the Dieselworks, he was hoisted up and had his undercarriage removed. Being patient, Sidney was happy to wait, and wait, and wait. He sat there happy to pass the time with any engine that happened to be visiting. Two years later, he still had no wheels, so Percy helped him at Christmas to get a new set of wheels and now he is back on track.

Donald and Douglas

## Bio

**Donald and Douglas** are practical and level-minded characters who nevertheless enjoy a joke, especially impersonating one another - the fitting of the twins with nameplates was done to specifically end this element of their humour. Their tendency for jokes, however, has continued and both display a keen sense of wit and, where necessary, an acid tongue. In their work, however, their performance is exemplary and they can be described as some of the most well-regarded engines in service on the railway, comparable with Duck and Edward in their reliability.

Charlie

## Bio

**Charlie** has a reputation for being a really fun engine. He has an unquenchable desire for fun, games and play, and is said to have been the favourite engine of the Mainland Controller. Charlie can get easily distracted by his japes, sometimes distracting others in the process. Charlie can be pouty, huffy, and teasing at times, but he always wants everyone to be enjoying themselves. Often though, Charlie will learn that the opinions of others, keeping calm and working hard to complete your jobs foremost, are important if you want to be a Really Useful engine. He has a good working relationship with Edward, often calling him "Eddie", who is sometimes capable of taking Charlie under his wing, and Thomas, who Charlie enjoys racing and sharing in the fun with. Being a fun-loving, playful scamp, cheeky Charlie is popular at parties and fairs, is well liked by the children, and known for his youthful humour.

Missing Murdoch

**Missing Murdoch** is the fifth episode of Season 2 of Sudrian Stories and fifteenth episode overall.

## Synopsis

When James returns from the works, him and Murdoch are asked to take flatbeds of building supplies to Crovan's Gate together. Murdoch wants to do the job on his own as James annoys him but James insists they have to work together. After they split up and take different routes, Murdoch gets lost and ends up in a siding. However, he enjoys this as it's nice and quiet.

## Plot

James and Murdoch are both hard-working engines. Sir Topham Hatt has a job for both of them at the Docks. Murdoch is eager to take the train, but when James arrives, Murdoch seems like he doesn't want to split the work. Heading to Crovan's Gate, Murdoch expresses disinterest in how loud James can be, but ends up heading in the wrong direction!

Murdoch arrives in Wellsworth, but instead of asking for directions, he decides to take a nap in a siding. James arrives at Crovan's Gate, but Murdoch never showed up. As time passes, Murdoch is still asleep. James soon finds Murdoch and wakes him up, loudly. Murdoch is upset at being woken up, but realizes he overslept. Murdoch apologizes and asks James to show him the way back to Crovan's Gate. Fortunately, the two make the second half of the delivery to Crovan's Gate, but Sir Topham Hatt is there to let him know sleeping in sidings when deliveries need to be made is unacceptable.

That night at Vicarstown, Henry and Rosie notice how sad Murdoch looks. Murdoch feels bad for being rude to James and falling asleep, missing his delivery time. The engines remind him of some of the times he was really useful and helped the railway. Murdoch heads to sleep. The next morning, he is feeling much better. Murdoch heads back to the Mainland, before finding James asleep at the washdown. Murdoch wakes him up with his whistle, and James jokes he'll get him back the next time Murdoch is on Sodor.
