Sir Topham Hatt

## Bio

**Sir Topham Hatt**, also known as The Fat Controller, is firm but fair. He can be strict, but also shows a fatherly side to the engines. He is quite a strong character and will remind the engines that he is in charge when they start to rebel against his authority. He does not stand bullying and, even though he is usually serious, he does enjoy a good laugh. Despite his kindness and fairness, however, there are times where he berates the engines for things beyond their control.

Giuseppe

## Bio

Giuseppe loves nothing more than the delightful smells coming from his kitchen and the delightful smiles of all the happy customers.

## Trivia

* Giuseppe is based on ‘Pop-Up Pastry Cars’ from *Thomas & Friends: Wood*.
Kevin

## Bio

**Kevin** is a bubbly and enthusiastic crane who works at the Sodor Steamworks, where he assists Victor in repairing engines. He is innocent, well-meaning, bursting to help and say hello, and always eager and ready to lend a helping hook. Kevin is often seen dashing about and tends to be quite clumsy, having a habit of frequently dropping things from his hook and pranging objects as he buzzes about. He often exclaims that it was "a slip of the hook". Something that he says often enough for Victor, who he refers to as "boss", to be able to commonly finish the sentence for him. But Kevin is lovable, kind-hearted, and funny, if rather naive, and always tries his best, regardless of his inexperience.

## Trivia

* Exactly how Kevin is driven is unknown, as he has never been seen with an operator.
Billy

## Bio

**Billy** is a bright orange tank engine who can be impetuous, impatient, and impulsive. Although he is bubbling with enthusiasm and keen to get stuck in, he tends to act before he thinks things through fully and can even end up keen to start one job before properly finishing another. He can be inattentive, does not always like being told what to do, and may try to work independently when, perhaps, he best not. He is often boisterous, has tendencies to be overconfident in his abilities, thinking he need not listen to advice from more experienced engines. Nevertheless, his enthusiasm is well-meaning and, when he keeps calm, thinks things through, pays attention, and follows instructions carefully, Billy can properly harness his energy and focus on what he is doing so that he can be a Really Useful Engine. If he ever gets snappy, his infectious get-up-and-go and burning desire to be useful will shine through and make it hard for any engine to really stay upset with him for very long.

## Trivia

* Billy is a Manning Wardle L Class 0-6-0ST. Charlie is another member of this class.
Dexter

## Bio

**Dexter** is an old brake coach that is just as much optimistic as he is colourful. Even though he was left in a siding for being out of use and in poor condition, he kept a positive outlook on his situation. Once the Harwick School was rebuilt, Dexter was converted back into a full working coach, but continued to act as a mobile classroom, especially useful for field trips.

## Appearances

### Season 3

* How Diesel 10 Stole Christmas (*cameo*)

## Trivia

* In this series, Dexter was given wheels after the Harwick school was rebuilt.
	+ Dexter appeared as a regular red branch line coach in *Evil Like Diesel*. However, he is meant to be in his last seen classroom livery.
Caitlin

## Bio

**Caitlin** is a streamlined engine, designed for speed. Along with her friend Connor, Caitlin is an excitable and energetic character, who likes to be busy and loves to race. Both Caitlin and Connor are friendly and eager to get other engines to join in the fun with them. Caitlin is particularly impatient and restless if she has nothing to do. She would rather be racing than sit in a station and be idle. Caitlin and Connor were introduced to the island to bring passengers from the Mainland. They zip on and off the island frequently using the Vicarstown Rolling Bridge.

Millie

## Bio

**Millie** is Sir Robert Norramby's private French narrow gauge engine. She works on the Estate Railway with Stephen and Glynn. She has worked on the Earl of Sodor’s Estate Railway for many years. She is very loyal to the Earl and her relationship is like that of a personal servant. They have fun together and are as close as many friends, but there is also a certain formality to their relationship. Millie is a youthful, fun-loving, friendly engine who is full of spirit, and can be fiery when crossed. But she is also fair-minded and never spiteful. That said, she will take it upon herself to teach an uppity engine a lesson, should she feel the need. She always wants to do the best by the Earl and will defer to his judgement in all things, but when it comes to other engines, she has a mind of her own.

## Bio

**Frank** means well and has a good heart, but can tend to be grumpy. When the book 'Small Railway Engines' was first published, Frank became infuriated when he found out that he had been left out due to the Thin Clergyman not being aware of his presence. He then refused to come out of the shed the next morning, but when he did, he only resulted in running into the back of the shed, cracking a shed support. He then felt ashamed of what he had done, but later redeemed himself by rescuing Rex when his steam-pipe leaked and needed his train.

Rebecca

## Bio

**Rebecca** is a large yellow tender engine from the Mainland. Despite her large size, Rebecca is shy, but not afraid to stand up for herself and is not intimidated by the older engines. At times, she feels the need to be on the same level as the other engines, which can sometimes make her anxious or overhasty. But despite her insecurities, Rebecca loves to see the best in everyone, and all her friends appreciate her kindness and enthusiasm. Having joined the fleet of engines at Tidmouth Sheds, the newest member of the Steam Team enjoyed being able to share stories with her co-express engine, Gordon, but the two of them found it much more efficient to have one engine start their side of the express on the other side of the Island. Now, Rebecca lives at Vicarstown and she hasn't been late ever since.

Splatter and Dodge

## Bio

Originating from Bridlington Yards on the Mainland, **Splatter and Dodge** are simple-minded, awkward, cowardly and tend to banter. Splatter is the more talkative of the two, while Dodge is more intelligent. 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 Diesel 10, they seem reluctant to destroy a fellow engine, even a steam engine, and eventually abandon Diesel 10 in the end. They are sometimes seen around Sodor doing tasks, but are never separate from each other.
Larry

## Bio

**Larry** is a small diesel-hydraulic shunter who lives and works in the Cronk-Central station and yard. 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".

	+ Larry's number represents his birthday, April 16th.
	+ Larry is indirectly named after a restaurant he worked at.
	+ Larry's procrastinating personality was inspired by his struggles with college at the time.
	+ Larry's goatee is based on Sanji from *One Piece*, EpicLafiteau's favorite anime.
	+ Finally, Larry was chosen to be blue after EpicLafiteau's favorite color.
Bear

## Bio

**Bear** (originally known by his number, 7101), a mixed traffic engine, is one of the more useful diesels. He is a loyal and friendly sort, but often makes unusual growling noises much to the disturbance of the other engines; thus earning the name "Bear." Sir Topham Hatt was impressed with BoCo and Bear, he called them "versatile" because they could pull both coaches and trucks. BoCo and Bear usually defend the steam engines, when a visiting diesel boasts about how superior they are.

## Appearances

### Season 3

* How Diesel 10 Stole Christmas (*cameo*)
D199

## Bio

**Diesel 199 (D199)**, nicknamed "Spamcan" and "Old Reliable", is a rude diesel engine from the Mainland. D199 was pompous and rude, and sided with the general belief amongst diesels that steam engines are inferior to diesel power. He is blatantly arrogant, and enjoys bad-mouthing the steam engines. However, he earned the nickname "Spamcan" by a signalman after he failed pulling a train of oil-tankers, and he subsided when the signalman jokingly threatened to cut him up with a tin opener.

D199 thought he was more reliable than the steam engines. However, one day he broke down and quickly lost his nickname "Old Reliable". In fact, everyone was rather pleased when he was sent away from Sodor back to the Other Railway.

Jeremy

## Bio

**Jeremy** is a jet plane who lives at the Sodor Airport. Being a light aircraft, he enjoys being able to tear through the air at speed, see things from the air that others on the ground cannot and not encountering the obstacles that a steam engine might. As such, Jeremy can have quite a proud, inflated view of himself and may inadvertently put down the usefulness of an engine friend by speaking without thinking. Jeremy will shrug off, rarely acknowledge or choose to ignore the many things that his engine friends can do that he cannot. But Jeremy has a very positive nature and is always happy to team up and lend a hand for the benefit of others, completely putting aside his one-upmanship to be a good friend.

## Trivia

* How Jeremy is piloted is a mystery, as his eyes replace the cockpit's windscreen.
* Jeremy is depicted to be around the size of a small single-engine plane, being half of Thomas's height from his landing gear to the top of his cockpit.
* Jeremy is currently the fastest character in the franchise, with his top speed being 630 miles per hour, or 1013 kilometers per hour.
Rusty

## Bio

**Rusty** is a trusty, tame, friendly little diesel. He is a dedicated worker, often maintaining the line, while understanding and respecting the importance of his duties. He also has a rather distinctive two-tone horn. Rusty is quick to remind others with regards to proper conduct, particularly Duncan, who was initially very suspicious of the little Diesel. He has a good working relationship with both Skarloey and Peter Sam in particular. Caring, calm, and quick-thinking, Rusty is modestly a credit to the Skarloey Railway.

Casey is a cherry picker lorry with a hydraulic arm and platform to reach very high places. She is owned by Sodor Power Co. and helps assist with maintenance repairs to power lines and pylons. She dreams of the fast life and wants to be a racer, but knows she can never be that, so sticks to her daily time trials through the woods. She likes things to go her own way but when told otherwise she gets incredibly fussy and careless.

Megan is a searchlight lorry. She is also owned by Sodor Power Co. and helps assist with maintenance repairs at night. If there's a power cut, you’ll always find Megan to help out. Using her bright spotlight she is able to light up the night sky for miles around. If maintenance work is required during the night, Megan goes out and helps workmen. While Casey never stops moving, Megan likes to slow down and smell the roses. She’s calm and collected though she is very naïve. She seems to follow Casey into her unbeknownst blunders but stops herself when coming to her senses. Casey might be street smart but Megan is book smart.

Timothy

## Bio

**Timothy** is a little oil burning tank engine, who works at the Sodor China Clay Company with Bill, Ben, and Marion.

* MainlandStudios

## Trivia

* Timothy has been modified for use on British railways with loose couplings, added buffers, and a brake pipe.
Norman

## Bio

**Norman** is a much kind diesel engine and a hard worker. He wants to be liked by all the engines, whether they be steam or diesel engines. So he does his part and follows all of his orders. However, poor Norman used to break down often. He is also willing to help another engine in trouble. Especially his brother, who he cares about very much, which Dennis takes advantage of. Once, Norman overheard a conversation about his engine being replaced and jumped to the conclusion that *he* was the one being replaced. Once his new engine arrived, Norman was able to become the really useful engine he dreamed of being.

He has the power and precision capability of moving and digging tons of earth in a single day. He likes to be a leader and treats the younger members of the Pack with respect.
Harry Topper

## Bio

**Harry Topper** is an eccentric businessman who loves three things in this world: money, cars, and his wife, but most importantly, his wife. Described as (mostly by himself) genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, extraction extraordinaire, Harry Topper won't let anything stand in his way, not even Sir Topham Hatt. Harry Topper is known to be a daredevil, always flying around in his trusty bi-plane Tiger Moth, whom he once crashed into a hayfield, much to everyone's dismay. However, Topper knows how to be the life of the party and is never one to shy away from bringing the most fun ideas to Sodor, no matter how wacky they might be.

## Trivia

* Outside of being the same pilot who appeared in the original series episode **Sir Topham Hatt's Holiday**, Harry Topper was inspired by various characters played by English actor, comedian, musician and writer Matt Berry, including Douglas Reynholm (of *The IT Crowd*), Steven Toast (of *Toast of London*), and Laszlo Cravensworth (of *What We Do in the Shadows*).
* Early in production, Harry Topper was pitched as being inspired by Iknik Blackstone Varrick (of *The Legend of Korra*) before it was ultimately decided to "go the Matt Berry route".
Merrick

## Bio

**Merrick** is a sleepy gantry crane who works at the Blue Mountain Quarry. When there is no work to do, he is usually found snoring away, which can sometimes be heard loudly around the quarry, often to the amusement of the engines and workmen. But as soon as there is work to be done, Merrick is cheerily bustling about, wide awake once again and working hard, ready to swing his hook into action to load an engine's trucks with blocks of slate so that they can head over the Blondin Bridge to the cutting sheds. When he is awake, he is attentive, merry and will often wish the engines a good morning... Regardless of how they feel in the morning.

With his white beard and longish hair he may seem a little eccentric, but he is an old friend of Sir Topham Hatt and has come home to the island after many years travelling the world. Sir Robert is a kind and caring man, but he can be stern to his engines if they misbehave.

Ace

## Bio

**Ace** is a seemingly confident and laid-back rally car who lives his life “free and easy”; on the open road completely free of any responsibility and only answering to numero uno. Unfortunately, this often manifests itself in the form of reckless driving and various daredevil stunts, both in his races and out of them, and most vehicles dread encountering Ace on a joyride, road or rail. His narcissism frequently causes him to do self-destructive things as well as manipulate those around him for his own ends with little care for the consequences. However, behind the facade, Ace is desperate for approval from others and craves validation desperately. However, Sir Topham Hatt hooked him up with a job at Ed’s Garage as a new parts guinea-pig, allowing him to do what he loves as a career; joyride around the island, oblivious to the chaos caused by his stunts and swerves.

Bill and Ben

## Bio

**Bill and Ben** are yellow saddle tank engine twins belonging to the Sodor China Clay Company. They are young and cheeky and love playing jokes on the bigger engines, despite how much discipline they may receive afterwards. They tend to work together, like most twins, but even this youthful pair can have their arguments among themselves and can squabble with one another - particularly about whose fault one of their follies was. There is no real harm to them, but even Edward admits that they are maddening at times. Bill appears to be the quicker-witted leader, while Ben seems to be the follower of the pair. Even though they like causing confusion and delay, like all engines on the North Western Railway, they want to be really useful.

BoCo

## Bio

**BoCo** is a green mixed-traffic diesel engine, who primarily works on Edward's Branch Line and occasionally on the Main Line. He, along with Edward, is a mentor to Bill and Ben. Arriving from the Mainland, BoCo soon found his footing on Sodor after a mixup with the twins. BoCo is tame, sensible and kind, with a decent sense of humor. He is also disciplined, stopping many of Bill and Ben's tricks or standing up for other engines. BoCo is a true friend to many, and he is firm and fair to everyone he meets, making him not afraid to speak his mind. BoCo upholds a more praiseworthy and respectable, likeable image for diesel engines everywhere, being happy to show the more pompous steam engines that diesels have their uses. BoCo eventually went back to the Mainland on loan for a while, but has since come back right to Wellsworth, where he shares a shed with Edward, and the two engines feel that they weren't away from eachother for that long at all.

Beresford

## Bio

**Beresford** is a rolling gantry crane who works at a canal on the Mainland. Beresford is usually very lonely having no one to talk to, with engines often passing through with other work. His rather aggressive way of getting to know new engines makes it hard for him to make friends, as shown by him dropping a fishing boat in front of Thomas and slinging Thomas up with his hook in a later encounter, but he is well meaning, though jealous of the freedom engines have to go anywhere.

## Appearances

### Season 3

* How Diesel 10 Stole Christmas (*cameo*)
Season 0

**Sudrian Stories: Origins** is a prequel season in Sudrian Stories. All episodes featured take place before Season 1.

## Production

Taking inspiration from Chase the Ferroequinologist and Enterprisingengine93, EpicLafiteau wanted to explore stories of characters from earlier years as well, instead of always constantly moving forward. When Season 1 of Sudrian Stories was being produced in 2017, the official series was in Season 21, and EpicLafiteau decided to pick up his own series from that point and have it co-exist to run alongside it, including new characters and locations in the following episodes after the show did. While EpicLafiteau was working on Season 3, he stated "the show is over, I can change anything" and wished to continue the stories of Sodor and progress through time. However, more ideas came about what life was like on Sodor before Thomas arrived, like in *The Adventure Begins*. With the 78th anniversary of *The Railway Series* approaching before production started on Starting Life on Another Railway, EpicLafiteau used this opportunity to make his own "Season 0" and tackle the tales of Sodor from all different time periods.

Season 0 will be produced alongside Season 3 and after it as well, as these episodes can fit anywhere in the timeline as long as they are before Season 1. This means any episode can take place as early as Thomas arriving on Sodor, or before it to the days of the Mid-Sodor Railway, to anything more recent, such as the Sodor Airport being built or the Earl of Sodor coming back to Sodor to reopen Ulfstead Castle, for example.

## Episodes

 The engines are pleased to hear another new engine will be arriving to help them in the form of James, a black mixed-traffic engine from the Mainland. When Henry hides in a tunnel, James is asked to push him out, but when he can't and is made fun of for it, he doesn’t feel like he fits in. James soon learns he needs to be himself if he wants to make an impression on his new friends in his new home, and become a part of the North Western Railway.

## Characters

* Edward
* Henry
* Gordon
* James
* Sir Topham Hatt
* The Kellsthorpe Road Stationmaster
* Mr. Beckman (*mentioned*)
* Annie and Clarabel (*cameo*)

## Trivia

* Season 0 takes place anywhere between before Season 1 of the official *Thomas & Friends* series and before Season 21. Specifically, anything before Mainline Priorities, which takes place during Season 21.
I'm Splendid

**I'm Splendid** is the second song featured in Evil Like Diesel. It is performed by MainlandStudios as James and Stafford and EpicLafiteau as Stanley and Charlie.

## Lyrics

**James:** If you wanna stay splendid
You've gotta look around
Keep away from dirty sidings
and Philip messing about
Be fast
and useful
and ready for anything
Being dirty isn't good
In fact, it's just disgusting
Splendid, stay splendid
Everyone out of my way
Splendid, stay splendid
I am James
Splendid, stay splendid
Pulling coaches everyday
I'm splendid, so splendid
Everyone out of my way
I'll fetch my own coaches
and shunt my own trucks
and never show off again!
**Stanley:** Really?
**James:** Haha, no!
Splendid, stay splendid
Everyone out of my way
Splendid, stay splendid
Come on everybody, join in!
**James, Stanley, Charlie and Stafford:** Splendid, stay splendid
Everyone out of my (his) way!
Splendid, I'm (he's) splendid
**James:** I am James
One more time!
I am James!
Hahaha!

Ed Abbey

## Bio

**Ed Abbey** is the owner of Ed’s Garage, a mechanic’s shop in the heart of Great Waterton where Sodor’s road vehicles go to get more complicated work done than simple dents and scrapes. He is a friendly and genial mechanic who is beloved across the island, not only for his personality but also for the quality of his work. His skills are so renowned that he occasionally gets commissioned to design parts for new cars, motorcycles, and other road vehicles designed by outside companies, almost all of which he tests on Ace, a gift from Sir Topham Hatt. He has friendships with most of the vehicles on the road, but is far more used to being friendly and giving great service than having to be strict, which is a bit of necessity with Ace early on. However, just as the rally car has grown into the responsibility of his job, Mr. Abbey has grown into the role of a lax authority figure who is still capable of stepping up when Ace’s joyriding causes trouble.

Emily is kind, caring, helpful, mature, compassionate and always sensitive to others' feelings. If she wrongs someone, knowingly or not, she is quick to apologize.

Drakonin

Drakonin are are sub race of dragons, and are a playable race in *Mech and Magic: Heroes Reborn*

Drakonin were originally bred to be slaves to the dragons of Khul Ignarus. They are bred by specifically mutated female dragons called Kovasil. When the Gulth'dre crash landed on Vesceria, they brought a great power along with them. This power interested Ahtuul, leader of the Khulgari. Ahtuul forced the Drakonin to work harder and in even worse conditions. every day many Drakonin died due to the harsh conditions set by Ahtuul.

A Drokinin miner name Rheva found something of interest during her dig. She found a cemetary of ancient dwarves. From this tomb she would grab from Khazal Ragebeard's tomb, Vhalkamar, a large magical battle hammer that was used to strike the killing blow to Ahtuul's father Fhelnorn. With this hammer and the spirit of Khazal Rageblade behind her, Rehva lead a rebellion against the dragon clan's slave masters and escaped the grasp of Ahtuul.

For a nearly a full year the Drokinin traveled the depths of Khul Ignarus, taken the forgotten paths that the Ebon Dwarves built millennia ago. The escaped to the mountains of Khul Ignarus and came out into the Molten Plains. On the northwest tip of the Khul Ignarus mountains they founded the city known as Ag'unol (Meaning place of rest in the Drokinin's broken form of draconian)

The Drakonin still used ancient forms of technology. Because of this the city feels and looks old. While the advanced technology of modern days is slowly being digested by the Drakonin, many of Ag'unol's society is based around this eon old technology.
