## Appearances

### Season 4

#### "87546"

After Edward and Eagle had an accident, they were sent to the works. Sir Topham Hatt rented an engine to help out. That is when Croven (or 87546) came to the island. Henry explains he was rude and a troublemaker.

He went up to Henry at the main station. He said he never met an engine quite like him, and called him a dingbat. Henry left to collect his train, feeling very cross about what Croven said to him.

Henry had to fill up with water before collecting his train. While he was at the water tower, Croven came up to the Troublesome Trucks, making them a deal. He told them, when they reach the top of the hill to push Henry hard enough to make him crash. The trucks ask what do they get in return. Croven said personal satisfaction. The trucks refused. Croven tried threatening them but they still refused. Croven had a back up plan. He went to the back of the train to push Henry.

Soon Henry returned and they set off. Everything was going fine until they came to the hill. Croven pushed Henry causing him and the train to derail.

Croven was found out by Sir Topham Hatt in the end after the Troublesome Trucks told him everything. He decided to send him away immediately. Croven did not care saying the island was rubbish anyway and he called Sir Topham Hatt ugly and a fat blob. Sir Topham Hatt yells at him to get off the island and threatens to scrap him if he does not and was sent away in disgrace.

###  Filling in the Gaps

#### "Prey"

After Sir Topham Hatt banished Croven from Sodor, he went to his railway and arrived at the sheds where his friend Mitch was. He said that they were the most grandest engines that ever arrived in this disgusting world. Croven then explained his thoughts on the island of Sodor and about the engines on it, including Henry. Mitch says that those engines sound like jerks. He soon had to leave afterwards. Croven was about to have a nap.

He wakes up and finds himself elsewhere. Then he sees Henry coming up towards him. Henry wanted to get rid of Croven. He runs off and Croven chased after him. Suddenly, Henry mysteriously disappears causing Croven to loose control and fall off a cliff. It was revealed it was Lady who pretended to be Henry and lead Croven to die. Croven's remains were soon taken off of the cliff.
