China

**China**, officially the **People's Republic of China** (**PRC**; Mandarin: **中华人民共和国**; Pinyin: **Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó**) is the second-largest country in the continent of Asia.

Thomas visited this country a few times in Really Useful Around the World. During his first visit, he had to deliver some bamboo, which he saw it was very important. Thomas later discovered that the bamboo was for the pandas to eat, and thought it was a waste as he saw it used for other things, like bicycles and furniture. But the person who needed it said that the panda bears like eating bamboo as their diet, so Thomas felt lucky to help.

He later took some passengers one evening, when he saw some villagers hanging lanterns outside their houses, and thought it looked magical. Later that night, Thomas met Yen and asked her why everyone was hanging lanterns. Yen told Thomas that everyone was celebrating the New Year, though Thomas was confused as he already celebrated it on Sodor. She told Thomas that China celebrates it at a different time.

During the reboot, China was one of the most visited countries in Thomas' foreign adventures.

Noor Jehan

'Noor Jehan''' is an Indian diesel engine. She is known for taking visitors on a Tiger Safari, in a set of Express coaches painted in her livery.

## Biography

### Thomas & Friends

Noor Jehan first appeared when she distracted Rajiv while he was boasting to Thomas, she reminded him that having a crown does not make him royalty.

She was later seen being prepared for the shooting of a Bollywood movie.

Ashima told Thomas about her luxury tiger safari train and how popular it is.

## Personality

## Technical Details

### Basis

Noor Jehan is based on the Indian Railways WDM-2 class. Introduced in 1962, this class has gone on to become the workhorse of the Indian Railways, with over 2 800 examples built. Eight locomotives have also been sold to Sri Lanka.

	+ In addition to this, her decorative tinsel is based on the decorations worn by WDM-2B No.16631 during service as the locomotive for the Palace On Wheels.
Black Loch

**Black Loch** is a lake near Castle Loch Causeway and Callan Castle. It is on the Misty Valley Branch Line.

## History

### *Thomas & Friends*

In its first appearance, Donald and Douglas got trapped here whilst taking a heavy goods train to Callan Castle. They were soon rescued by Harvey (who they at first mistook for the monster).

James was originally given the passenger run, but was replaced by Emily when she was late with the flour train once too often. At first, the engines were worried about the route, as it was rumoured that the loch was occupied by a monster and that boulders would bash engines' buffers. When Emily took the Black Loch run, however, she learned that the monster was actually a family of seals, so the engines now enjoy taking this route.

Runaway Truck (China)

“Oh. Hi Thomas.”
―Lei after flipping upside down.
**Runaway Truck**, renamed **Runaway Car** in North America, is the seventeenth episode of the twenty-second series.

## Plot

In China, Yong Bao is chasing a runaway box van named Lei down the mountain in an attempt to stop him. Thomas is nearby and decides to try and stop Lei himself. Yong Bao is about to stop Lei when Thomas intervenes and rams into Lei at full force, derailing him. Yong Bao is annoyed that Thomas used force to stop Lei and likens the method he was going to use with tai chi, a Chinese martial art. He tells Thomas he will show him at the town square in the morning and leaves to get a crane. The next morning, Thomas collects some trucks and meets Yong Bao in the square, where several people are all practicing tai chi in unison. Yong Bao points out the way the people are all moving together and suggests that instead of crashing into Lei and derailing him, Thomas should have backed up with him and slowed him down.  At the shunting yard in the mountains, Yong Bao, Thomas, and Lei all begin practicing. Yong Bao demonstrates by reversing as Lei is coming towards him, moving with him to slow him down instead of using brute force. Thomas derails Lei several times before eventually stopping him. They are about to try again, but a signalman accidentally leaves the points set to the main line instead of Yong Bao's track, causing Lei to careen down the mountain. Thomas rushes after him. Thomas chases after Lei and switches tracks so he can pass him, but a rock on Lei's track causes him to be thrown onto Thomas' line. Thomas finds a passing loop that allows him to get in front of Lei. Remembering Yong Bao's advice, Thomas gradually slows down instead of braking sharply, allowing him to stop Lei safely. Yong Bao catches up with Thomas and congratulates him for mastering the core principle of tai chi: moving with the flow of energy instead of against it.

Bucking Bronco (Sodor)

**Bucking Bronco** is an upcoming episode of the twenty-fourth series.

## Plot

At last, Mr. Mack came and Skarloey said sorry. Mr. Mack told him that Mr. Bobbie, an engineer who helped build Skarloey, had come, and Skarloey worked hard to finish the line before the inspector arrived.

When Rheneas first arrived he was a sensible engine, unlike Skarloey, who was bouncy and excited. When Skarloey was told to pull the directors' train, Rheneas told him to be careful, but Skarloey scoffed at him and got Agnes, Ruth, Lucy, Jemima and Beatrice. The coaches had never met him before, and their leader, Agnes, did not trust him. When Skarloey began to bounce, Mr. Mack, who was riding on Skarloey, closed the regulator too quickly and the coaches bumped into each other. They bumped him back, and Mr. Mack was knocked into a bush. He rode in Beatrice for the remainder of the journey.

The directors were cross, and told Rheneas to pull the inspector's train instead. The inspector was satisfied, but told the directors to give Skarloey an extra set of wheels…

Shankar

**Shankar** is an Indian diesel shunter. He works on the Indian Railway.

## Biography

### Thomas & Friends

Shankar is first seen working in a shunting yard as Thomas and Nia were heading to Sodor. He later brought Thomas some trucks to pull during his visit, with the former thinking he was an elephant at first.

Thomas later met Shankar after daydreaming about tigers. Shankar talked about how he felt sorry for the tigers having their peace disturbed by the tourists. He later appeared when Thomas spotted a tiger, honking his horn to scare it off, explaining to Thomas that the tigers are rare and endangered due to hunters. Rajiv then showed up with two men claiming to be there so they could spot a tiger, but Shankar noticed that they had a cage with them for capturing one and realized they were hunters. He and Thomas devised a plan to stop them, which involved Shankar pretending to be a tiger to lure the men into a trap. After the hunters were arrested, Shankar returned to his work, but not without spotting a tiger.

## Personality

Shankar is wise and sympathetic, but also serious and blunt, always going straight to the point. If there is a way to set things right, he can be counted on to carry it out. He also takes no nonsense from slackers or showoffs, often scolding Thomas for his occasional lack of focus, and Rajiv for his attitude. Despite this, he always enjoys a good laugh.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Shankar is based on a Russian TGM23 class diesel shunter. Ivan shares this basis.

### Livery

Shankar's main paint scheme consists of three bands: the top band is orange, the middle cream and the bottom a maroon-brown. His wheels and running plate are brown, and his handrails are yellow.

Ranger Jill

**Ranger Jill** is a forest ranger who works within the Kuranda Rainforest in Australia.

One day, while she was looking for a kookaburra, she met Thomas. Thomas helped her for much of the day as an "Assistant Ranger", though she sent him away after he tried to shoo off a koala with his whistle. When Thomas noticed a bushfire, he came back to pick up Ranger Jill and the two were able to save the koalas in the rainforest, except for one named Banjo. Thomas went back and saved Banjo and when he returned Ranger Jill told him the fire fighters were able to get the bushfire under control. She then named a new born crocodile whose egg she found after the tank engine.

Let's Dream

**Let's Dream** is a song from the twenty-second series dedicated to the characters' fantasy sequences.

## Lyrics

We could fly to the moon
Dive under the sea
Travel to places that we've never been
Make friends with a tiger
Who knows how to sing
Together we can
Do a million fun things
Let's go, let's dream
Come along with me
The big world is calling
All aboard for a fantasy
The world's full of wonder
There's so much we can be
Thanks to imagination and curiosity
We could be in a movie
Where we save the day
We could speed through the ocean
On the sun's yellow rays
We could ride a roller coaster
And laugh all the way
Together we can
Do a million great things
(Chorus)
So much to learn
So much to see!
So much to do!
So much to be!
(Chorus)
