Stanley

**Stanley** is a character in *DTBEN10's Thomas and Friends Series.*

## Personality

Stanley was the "boy-next-door" of Sir Topham Hatt's Railway. Cool, courteous and cheery, he was a little bit bigger, a little bit newer and a little bit stronger than Thomas. This, 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 was incredibly compassionate and empathic: there was nothing he would not do for another engine. And if he could not do it, he would find someone who could. He was sleek, smart and stylish and his silver and light grey appearance, striking red wheels and shining smokebox certainly makes him look the part as he eagerly gone about his work.

But after joining Diesel 10's side he was a rude engine. It was even revealed that he was actually evil all along and was a spy. He also revealed after his fall off Mount Sodor that he was jealous of Bill, Ben and Stepney which is why he killed Ben, and that he had a dream to go to Sodor, but was upset when Bill went instead.
