## History

### Thomas & Friends

Captain Joe is Skiff's current captain after Sailor John was arrested for trying to get away with the treasure. Once during a storm he and Skiff helped the residents of Arlesburgh prepare. The manager of the Arlesburgh Maritime Museum asked him to check on Captain Calles' Pirate Ship from the lighthouse and while they were gone, Skiff was blown away.

## Trivia

* Joe's CGI model is reused from a Cuban dock worker first seen in *Blue Mountain Mystery*. Several recolours of this model have also appeared, such as one of Ashima's crew members and a dock worker in the twenty-first series episode *New* *Crane* *on* *the* *Dock*.
Red for Rosie

Rosie tells James her story of why she was painted red.

## Plot

Rosie is an engine who works hard on the North Western Railway. She first meet Thomas and the two have been friends ever since. From the moment she arrived on Sodor, she was pink but many years later she was repainted red. This caused problems for James when he first saw Rosie painted red; he smashed the sheds and he could have lost his red paint forever. After that happened, James was still angry at Rosie for being red. The other engines reminded him that anyone can be painted red. James wanted Rosie to be painted pink again but there was no way that could easily happen. Then James knew something, why did Rosie decided to be red? There had to be a specic reason and James needed to know what. If he could find out, maybe he could come up with something to make Rosie pink again. James came up to Thomas and asked why Rosie was red. Thomas had no idea and only told him to ask Rosie himself. James went looking for Rosie and finally found her. He tried to ask her while not trying to spoil anything. Rosie decided to tell James about the time she was painted red. It all started when she and Thomas were working together. They were having a hard time doing all the work. After a while, they decided to rest and Thomas noticed that Rosie's paint was erasing. Rosie then realized that it has been years since she was last painted. Thomas wanted Rosie to get repainted but Rosie thought it didn't matter. She spend the next days fine until more of her paint was erasing. She now needed to be repainted. She came to Victor and Kevin, but by the time she came, she had lost almost all her paint. Kevin got so scared that he knocked down all the pink paint into the ground. Victor was sure there was more pink paint but there wasn't. Rosie told him to use the paint from the ground but it was too dirty. With no pink paint available, Rosie would have had to stay paintless until new paint was available. She didn't want to work until she came up with an idea. She wanted to be painted something else. She had no choice but to be painted red. Once she was repainted, she wanted more and she was given a number and had NWR painted on her. She had a hard time getting used to it. Everyone thought she was someone else but as time went by, she was getting better and everyone now knew who she was. Sometime later, when she was being repaired, Victor offered to have her be pink again but she now liked the red that she didn't want to be pink again. James was very surprised to hear this. He left and thought about everything Rosie had gone through while she was trying to get used to her new paint. Now James didn't want her to be pink. She could be the way she is and anyone could be painted red.

The Dinosaur Park

**The Dinosaur Park** is situated on Sir Robert Norramby's estate at Ulfstead.

## History

### Thomas & Friends

The park was constructed with the help of Harvey, Samson and Millie. Four dinosaur models were delivered to the park by Samson on his first visit to Sodor. These were initially delivered fully-constructed, however were disassembled shortly after arrival and later reassembled within the park itself by Harvey. The models were originally all static, however an encounter Millie had while Harvey was unloading the Megalosaurus head gave Sir Robert the idea to install animatronics and sound into the Megalosaurus model.

As well as many animatronic dinosaurs, there is prehistoric vegation and a model of a volcano in the park. The model did not originally let out real smoke, but after Millie used it to play a trick on Samson and Harvey, it was modified so that it would let out smoke, simulating an eruption. Two dual-gauge Estate Railway tracks run around the park in a balloon loop formation, accessed from the castle grounds via a tunnel.

## Dinosaur Models

Four dinosaur models are scattered throughout the park. These are:

PelorosaurusLexovisaurusHylaeosaurusMegalosaurus
Theo

**Theo** is a shy experimental railway traction engine who works at the Steelworks on the Mainland.

## History

### Thomas & Friends

When Thomas travelled to the Mainland, he befriended the experimental engines: Theo, Lexi and Merlin. Theo and Lexi warmly welcomed Thomas and Theo hauled Thomas to refill his coal. Later, Theo, along with the other experimental engines, helped Thomas rescue James, who had been trapped in the Steelworks.

Afterwards, Thomas convinced the experimental engines to stay at the Steelworks with Frankie and Hurricane.

## Personality

Theo is very shy, extremely cautious and highly awkward. He has an unusual, experimental drive system that does not always function the way it should. He finds it particularly difficult when going in reverse. This only undermines Theo's confidence and he firmly believes he cannot do anything, although this is not entirely true. Theo is quiet and thoughtful, but when he speaks, he is usually direct, to the point and sometimes blunt. He speaks his mind and is usually a pessimist of thoughts, but Theo is kind and generally caring. He would just like to keep to himself and his friends as safe as possible so they can hide away and have a quiet life.

## Livery

Theo is painted greyish brown with gold lining, head lamp and whistle. His wheels and lower traction wheels are dark green while his upper traction wheels are a reddish brown. Theo also carries his name on gold nameplates fixated on each side of his smoke box.

## Trivia

* It is said that Theo displays personality traits of autism, making him the first *Thomas & Friends* character with a neurological disability.
* Theo speaks with a mild lisp.
* Similarly to Fergus, a semicircle has been cut into Theo's front bufferbeam to accommodate a face.
* Theo fretting and saying "I think I can't, I think I can't" is a direct reference to the famous children's book *The Little Engine That Could*.
* In all merchandise lines, Theo is depicted with only his rear wheel being driven by the cog, therefore having a 2-2-0 arrangement rather than the 0-4-0 depicted in the series. This is to prevent the gears from locking up or breaking, as the front wheels would rotate quicker than the rear wheels if both were connected to the gear. His plarail unmotorized model is the exception, being remedied by both wheels being the exact same size.
* On the back of the *Journey Beyond Sodor* DVD, Theo's lamp is white instead of gold.
* Theo is the only Adventures model not to feature a front hook despite having one in the television series.
* According to Michael White, Theo may have been intended to appear in the twenty-fourth series double length episode, *Thomas and* *the Royal Engine*, but was dropped for unknown reasons.
Neville

* II
* I

**Neville** is a ubiquitous, square-shaped tender engine.

## History

### Thomas & Friends

Upon Neville's arrival to Sodor, Thomas saw him with 'Arry and Bert - who were actually teasing him - which caused a rumour regarding him being friends with the diesels and horrid to steam engines to spread. Percy and Emily thought that he was planning to bump the steam engines, despite his jolly greetings to the engines. Luckily, the rumour was rectified and Thomas befriended Neville after rescuing him from a broken bridge.

Despite his gentleness, Neville has acted a bit cheeky, having once paid Emily back by laughing at her for working with Whiff, along with Molly and Murdoch.

Sometime later while working at the Sodor Slate Quarry, Neville told Thomas and Percy about the job of collecting the Sodor Brass Band.

## Personality

Neville is gentlemanly, highly enthusiastic and kind, if a little naïve. 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. He has also been shown to be slightly cheeky in the episode Emily's Rubbish.

In Behind the Scenes with Pierce Brosnan, voice director Jamie Thomason describes Neville as being similar to Thomas, in terms of being around "the same age, helpful, keen, eager and cheerful" and he also describes Neville as being more inexperienced due to being new to Sodor.

## Livery

Neville is painted in BR unlined black without the BR crest. His number, 33010, is painted on the sides of his cab in white.

## Trivia

* In some descriptions of *Thomas and the New Engine*, Neville is mistakenly described as actually being a diesel, as opposed to just looking like one.
* In his Story Library book, magazine story illustrations, and merchandise lines (excluding Motor Road and Rail and TrackMaster), Neville is incorrectly depicted with spoked driving wheels. His prototype, the Bullied Q1s, was built with "Bullied-Firth-Brown" driving wheels.
* In the cover illustration of Neville's Story Library Book, he is incorrectly depicted with grey driving wheels as opposed to black ones.
* According to the talking My First Thomas toy of Neville, his favorite place to visit is the Ffarquhar Quarry.
* In the Croatian dub, Neville's name is translated to **Nenad**.
Vicarstown Dieselworks

The **Vicarstown Dieselworks** is a repair yard that specialises in diesel engines. It is the diesel equivalent of the Sodor Steamworks. The Dieselworks is located in a quarry-like area, not far from Vicarstown.

## History

### Thomas & Friends

When it was first introduced, the Dieselworks was run down and shabby, with insufficient and damaged equipment. After a fire broke out in the main building, it was rebuilt. Den, Dart and Diesel 10 live and work at the Dieselworks, with the former two acting as head diesels.

The company's logo is a picture of a diesel engine, of similar appearance to Den's class. Both Den and Dart have this logo on their liveries.

In the nineteenth series, the small warehouse, that serves as an extension to the main Dieselworks building, is shown to house a large smelting foundry, where all the broken parts are melted down and reused again, to build new parts.

In the twenty-third series, the diesels got trapped in the sheds during a busy period and remained trapped the next morning. It is unknown if anyone besides Diesel got out as out of all the diesels who were trapped only Diesel appeared afterwards.

## Residents

Diesel'ArryBertDiesel 10DenDartPaxtonNormanSidneyDennis
## Equipment

Equipment at the Dieselworks includes:

* An elevating turntable
* A set of lifting jacks
* An on-site smelting department
* A five-road shed with a turntable to accommodate the diesels
* A special shed for Diesel 10
* A giant vice

## Trivia

* A scrapped model of Charlie/Billy's cab is seen inside.
* A scrapped Märklin Engine has been seen at the Dieselworks in *Blue Mountain Mystery* it is a reference to all the scrap engines by Greg Tiernan.
* Unlike the Sodor Steamworks there is no Skarloey Railway access to it meaning there is no way Rusty can get repaired unless taken by flatbed.
Proteus' Statue

**Proteus' statue** was made in honour of its namesake. It was lost for many years, but was found again by Peter Sam. The statue is now preserved in a park near the Skarloey Railway.

## Trivia

* The statue is missing Proteus' signature headlamp.

## Gallery

Sodor: The Great Railway

**Sodor: The Great Railway** is a fictional book containing information and photographs of the North Western Railway engines. The front cover features a photograph of Thomas and Rocky rescuing Percy. A copy of the book was presented to Sir Topham Hatt in the sixteenth season episode, *Flash Bang Wallop!*

The photographs were taken by The Photographer.

## Trivia

* The title mistakenly refers to Sodor as a railway.
Fred

**Fred** is a narrow gauge diesel engine who works on the Skarloey Railway. He is the railway's No. 9 engine.

## History

### The Railway Series

In the 1980s, the Skarloey Railway bought two worn out Hunslet Diesels from the National Coal Board and using parts from both engines, constructed one good engine; Fred. He was put into service in 1989 as a secondary diesel (to Rusty) and is used exclusively for maintenance and engineering work.

Once a year, Rusty and Fred have to pull a slow train that spreads weedkillers on the tracks. One holiday weekend, Fred was supposed to pull the weedkilling train, but claimed he felt ill, forcing Rusty to do the job instead. For unknown reasons, he and Rusty did not attend Ivo Hugh's naming party in 1996.

## Personality

Very little is known about Fred. Rusty's response to Fred being ill has led many fans to assume that he is lazy like Dennis and tries to stay out of work by pretending to be ill, but it is possible that Fred was legitimately ill and Rusty was just in a bad mood since Fred was his only chance of avoiding the weedkilling job. It is also possible that Fred was pretending to be ill not out of laziness, but a similar distaste for the weedkiller train due to its monotonous nature.

## Livery

As all the Skarloey Railway steam engines (bar Duke) share the same liveries in *The Railway Series*, it is assumed Fred is painted in the same livery as the only other diesel, Rusty, charcoal-black with yellow lining and lettering.

## Trivia

* It is probable that Fred, like his basis, Alf, was named after Lord Alfred Robens, a politician and Chairman of the National Coal Board between 1961 and 1971.
* In the Railway Series, Fred is likely the slowest engine on Sodor, with a top speed of under 9 mph.
* In the magazines, there is a fogman who works for the Skarloey Railway who shares the same name, Fred.
Background Characters

The **background characters** are minor characters on *Scooby Doo*.

## Description

The background characters are the townspeople of the show. They usually appear to populate public areas or fill up space in wide shots. A few unnamed puppets are given small speaking roles, though most of them have no lines at all.

In the season one shorts, no background characters ever appeared. They were introduced in season one. Until season two, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Noel MacNeal, and Tyler Bunch played all of the background characters. In season three, many other cast joined the cast and started to play incidental roles.

## Appearances

Background puppets appear in seven episodes:

* "Haircut!" features an unnamed blonde woman who gets a haircut from the barber. A few others are seen in photos around the barbershop.

Alfie

* II
* I

**Alfie** is a little green excavator who works for the Sodor Construction Company. He is Jack's best friend and his favourite expression is "more dirt means more fun".

## History

### Thomas & Friends

Alfie works for the Sodor Construction Company; he loves working hard and handles even the toughest of jobs very well with ease.

Alfie helped save a cat and her kittens one day after being teased by Max and Monty about his size. He was also working with Percy at Maithwaite Forest on Halloween night when Kelly told everyone a scary story about a one-eyed truck. Later, he was saved by Byron when he almost sank into a muddy hole. When Max and Monty carelessly crashed into the lightning tree, he, Oliver and Kelly held the tree up while Jack went to fetch the props and the tree was saved. He later helped with the restoration of Great Waterton and helped erect a bandstand in the town.

Alfie helped with the construction of the Harwick Branch Line along with Jack, Oliver, Max and Monty and later attended the line's ceremony.

Later he, Jack, Oliver, Max and Monty were working on Thomas' Branch Line and he, Oliver and Jack helped cleared the branch line at the Rail Under Road Bridge and Signalbox after Max and Monty dumped their loads on the line.

## Personality

Alfie is a friendly machine who gets on well with his work and never minds getting dirty or mucky during jobs. He always views his work as fun. In *Mines of Mystery*, it is shown the he easily gets seasick.

## Livery

Alfie is painted green with the number #12 painted on his sides and on the back of his cab in white.

## Appearances

* Season 2 - Philip Gets Lost (*cameo*)
* Season 3 - Marion and the Three Olivers

## Trivia

* His shovel can be removed and replaced with a jackhammer attachment, like Oliver's.
* In *Mines of Mystery*, it is revealed that Alfie gets seasick on boat rides, complete with a slightly green face, and red nose after he hit the shore, and showing signs of nausea, and groaning. Due to this, he is the first and only vehicle character with seasickness.
* Alfie's horn sounds similar to Bulgy's main and Sir Topham Hatt's car from the sixth to seventh series.
* His horn sound was later reused for some cars and a truck in the mobile app *Read and Play!*. It was also reused for Sir Topham Hatt's car in the same mobile app as well.
* In the Polish dub, Alfie is called "Alf", which is also the name of the mentioned only *Railway Series* character Fred's basis.
The Jet Engine

**The Jet Engine** is a red and silver machine mounted on a large grey well wagon, along with two large crates covered in tarpaulins.

## History

### Thomas & Friends

Thomas went to Brendam Docks to collect the jet engine (to be taken to Dryaw Airfield) from Cranky, who became huffy after Thomas told him to hurry up. While grousing, Cranky accidentally switched the engine on, sending Thomas rocketing down the line, and only stopping when the jet engine ran out of fuel.

Later, Thomas mentioned the time he went out of control with the jet engine to Emily when asked about any important specials.

## Livery

The Jet Engine has a silver cylindrical engine with brass, red and black pipes, and yellow and red lining. The engine is held down with black and red chains. There is also slate grey tiles, a red fuel barrel with a grey control switch, green and red ON/OFF lights, and two large yellow-wood crates covered in dark green tarpaulins. The wellwagon is grey with red bufferbeams, silvers buffers and a black chassis.

## Trivia

* One point to note is the model has a larger central box while "engaged" (this can be seen as the box is wider than the truck itself), likely in order to house the large motor which powered the model.
* What happened to Thomas would not happen in real life, for the following reasons: a jet engine would never be transported carrying fuel, Thomas would have surely derailed at the speed he was going at, and, even if he did not, the friction would have ground his wheels down to nothing and the resulting airspeed and wind resistance would tear him apart.
* According to Thomas in *Emily Saves the* *World*, the jet engine is powerful enough to propel him at Mach 1, known as supersonic speed.
* After the production of the *Thomas the Jet* *Engine*, part of the jet engine was dismantled and reused as a rusty pipe at the smelter's in *Fergus Breaks the Rules*.
* The twenty-fourth series reintroduced the concept of Thomas being pushed by a jet engine with the Blastbooster-7, an experimental jet engine built in Germany with three thrusters.
New Year, New Millie

Millie decides to change her personality for the new year because some engines think she gets mad easily.

## Plot

It was almost new year day in the Island of Sodor and everyone was getting ready for a new year. The engines worked hard to get over the difficult year. Sir Topham Hatt was very happy with his engines. Thomas took some party decorations to give to the engines at the castle. Thomas saw Millie and he gave her the decorations. Millie brought them to the other engines and everyone started to get ready for the party. Stephen saw Millie was stuggling and teased her. Millie got mad and Stephen said she always got mad which made Millie think about what her new year resolution should be. Soon the party was ready and everyone came. Millie was still thinking about how she would not get mad when she did. She has a good time, until Stephen kept teasing her and Millie admited what her new year resolution was, which made Stephen confused. Everyone stayed until midnight to celebrate the big event. The engines didn't believe that Millie would change that easily. At last, it was new year and everyone was happy the year was over. Stephen felt bad for what he did to Millie and he told her that she doesn't need to change, that she is perfect the way she is, which made Millie stop from trying to be an engine with different personality. Millie was happy she didn't need to change anymore and everyone had a good time.

Dennis

> "Thomas has shown me that being a really useful engine is much better than being really lazy". - Dennis to Sir Topham Hatt
>
>

**Dennis** is a lazy diesel who works on the North Western Railway. He has a twin named Norman.

## Biography

### Thomas & Friends

When Dennis was new to the railway, he tried to take advantage of Thomas by getting him to do all his work for him. He soon learned his lesson when he reversed into a ditch. With Thomas' help, he was able to finish his work and promised to be a Really Useful Engine from then on.

In *The Great Discovery*, Dennis and a number of other diesel engines were waiting in the quarry yard upon hearing that Thomas had been found in the days leading up to the reopening of Great Waterton.

## Personality

Dennis is considered to be a very lazy diesel who tries to take advantage of others and depend on them to do his work instead. Dennis will often create excuses to get out of work and is infamous for the fact that, unlike most of the engines on Sodor, he does not make an effort on being really useful, and slacks off on a regular basis. As a result of his laziness, he is very unpopular with other engines, but they are forgiving enough to let him redeem himself, depending on how motivated he really is. He usually gets caught in his lies and always says sorry - but whether or not he means it is the question.

## Livery

Dennis is painted two-tone grey with dark grey wheels, gearboxes, roof, and front. His number 11001 is painted on his sides in white, and his jackshaft is red.

## Appearances

* Season 1 - A Present for Millie (*cameo*)
* Season 2 - A New Diesel (*cameo*) and Billy and Charlie

## Trivia

* Dennis was originally intended to return in *Day of the Diesels*, however, he was later dropped and replaced by Norman, who is also based on the same engine as Dennis and is known as his twin.
* Dennis' horn sound comes from a stock sound effects pack and as such can be found in many other pieces of media.
* A character face checklist from the tenth series reveals that Dennis was originally going to be named Denzel.
* Michael Brandon gave Dennis a Texan accent.
* Despite not himself appearing in CGI, Dennis appeared in a 2019 (May/June) magazine.

Freddie

* II
* I

**"Fearless" Freddie** is an old narrow gauge tank engine on the Skarloey Railway.

## History

### Thomas & Friends

After many years of absence, Freddie returned to the Skarloey Railway. Although the reason for his absence is not stated, it is most likely that Freddie was either on loan to another railway or undergoing an extensive overhaul. He and Sir Handel were close friends when they were younger.

Upon returning home, Sir Handel greeted Freddie, having not seen him for years. Rheneas and Skarloey (both of whom Freddie did not recognize) raced into the wharf and declared themselves the fastest engines in the hills, so Freddie challenged them to a series of races up and down the mountain. After realising that he was not as strong as he once was, Freddie used his knowledge of the mountain routes and short-cuts to secure victories. However, when his cheating placed Rheneas in danger, Freddie was forced to put his knowledge to better use.

When Mr Percival's new bike was delivered to the Wharf without a bell on it, Freddie decided to find a bell - even though he did not know where to find one until he saw Thomas taking an old foghorn and decided that the bell from the old bike could be used for the new one.

One Christmas, Freddie tried to reorganize a party so that Colin could take part. Despite his best efforts, Freddie left telling Mr Percival about his idea until the last minute. Luckily, Freddie's idea was sorted out with the party taking place at the Wharf for Colin.

## Personality

Freddie is the warhorse engine of the Skarloey Railway. In his youth, he was known as "Fearless Freddie" and was the daredevil of the hills, known for being fast, fun and of course, fearless. As a result of having worked on the narrow gauge line many years before, Freddie knows the route, as well as many hidden tracks, like the back of his buffers and he can use this to his advantage. Although he is now a much older engine, Freddie is still full of boyish charm, has his wits about him and is always game for a competition. He is chucklesome, will never forget a friend and is still very much capable of giving the other engines a run for their money.

## Livery

Freddie is painted grey with black and red lining and has a bronze dome. He has black name and number plates with gold writing.

## Trivia

* In the UK narration of the twelfth series, Freddie gains an Irish accent.
* Freddie and Mighty Mac are the only engines on the Skarloey Railway to not have 0-4-0/0-4-2 wheel arrangements.
* Freddie was originally intended to return in full CGI in either *Blue Mountain Mystery* or the sixteenth series and was to be voiced by Bob Golding. Ultimately, this did not end up happening.
* His Take-n-Play and TrackMaster (*Revolution*) artworks are a pseudo-CGI model of him, despite Freddie having not appeared in the television series since the twelfth series, the last series to use models prior to the full-CGI production from Hero of the Rails and the thirteenth series onwards.
* Freddie is one of the characters to be indirectly mentioned in CGI series but never appear there, the others being Mighty Mac, Ned and Byron.
Emily's Coaches

* II
* I

After saving Oliver, Emily was given **two six-wheeled green and cream coloured coaches**.

## History

### Thomas & Friends

They were introduced in the seventh series and were seen in every series up until the seventeenth series. They reappeared in the nineteenth series episode, *Toad and the Whale*.

In the fifteenth series, Emily gained two extra composite coaches. As of the twentieth series, she has gone back to pulling just two coaches.

Percy pulled one of the coaches in the nineteenth series episode, *Wild Water Rescue* when he was supposed to take the Mayor to the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre's 1,000th rescue celebration.

## Livery

Emily's Coaches are painted emerald green, to match Emily, with yellow lining, cream window surrounds and white wheel rims. In a magazine story, the coaches are painted orange instead of emerald green.

## Trivia

* The centre wheels on the coaches do not have flanges, so as to allow them to navigate tighter bends. This design choice was also carried over to the Bachmann models in both HO and large scale.
* One of Emily's coaches used to be on display in Canada at Nitrogen Studios.
* Bachmann HO models of the coaches appeared in the 2015 Marvel film *Ant-Man*, along with models of Thomas, Annie and Clarabel.

Theater!

"**Theater!**" is an episode of *Scooby Doo* from season 2.

## Summary

*This is a musical version of Little Red Riding Hood. The production is staged in the park with Scooby Doo, Daphne Blake and the neighbors in the audience. Velma Dinkley plays Little Red Riding Hood, and it's her first time as an actress.* — NickJr.com (source)

## Plot

Lucy Lane, Lavonne, and Cherie are getting ready to watch a play. They walk in front of a stage and find some seats. Meanwhile, Shaggy is wearing a wolf costume, and Velma has a hooded dress on. Shaggy explains to the viewers that they're performing a musical version of *Little Red Riding Hood*. Daphne wishes the kids good luck and goes to find a seat by the stage. Tawny Rogers appears dressed as Little Red's mother, followed by Fred, who is wearing a woodsman's costume. C.J. tells the actors that it's showtime, and they all rush behind the stage curtain.

As the kids get ready, an interview segment starts. It features preschoolers talking about their experiences at the theater. Afterwards, Daphne And Scooby and the rest of the audience are shown waiting for the show to start. Daphne realizes he's the only male in the crowd and gets a bit nervous. The ladies flock around him and giggle. Soon, C.J. introduces the musical show and tells the visitors to turn their cell phones off.

The play starts with Little Red's mom (Tawny) telling her daughter (Velma) to bring a picnic basket to her grandma. The mom tells Little Red not to talk with strangers. Little Red takes the picnic basket and walks into a dark forest. There, she meets a smooth-talking wolf. The wolf, played by Shaggy, convinces Little Red to pick some flowers.

With Little Red distracted, the wolf starts a soliloquy. He explains that he'll pretend to be Little Red's grandma and try to eat her. The next scene shows the wolf in the grandma's bed. Little Red walks in, carrying the basket and the flowers from earlier. She notices that "grandma's" ears and nose are bigger than usual, and the wolf reveals himself. Little Red's *real* grandma, played by Tawny, appears onscreen. The wolf tries to eat them both, but he's stopped by the woodsman, played by Fred.

The woodsman tells the wolf to leave, and he sadly walks away. The grandma feels bad for the wolf because he was hungry and just needed something to eat. Little Red gives the wolf some strawberries from her picnic basket, and the group wraps the show up together. They all bow. Daphne, Scooby and the other audience members cheer and clap as the episode ends.

**The Duke and Duchess of Boxford** often visit Sodor with their private engine, Spencer. However, since the fifteenth series, they appear to have lived at their summer house.

## History

### Thomas & Friends

The Duke and Duchess once bought a holiday home on Sodor and had Edward take their furniture to the house. The engines later helped to build them another summer house. They are good friends with Sir Topham and Lady Hatt and were among the important visitors who attended Dowager Hatt's Sodor tour and party at Knapford in the sixteenth series.

They later attempted to get to Callan Castle for Lord Callan's birthday ball but had several difficulties getting there, such as when Spencer broke down, Thomas got stuck due to branches on the line and Bertie received a flat tyre. They finally arrived in time thanks to Mr. Percival and Harold. They also attended the Earl's Christmas Luncheon.

## Attires

The Duke wears a dark purple suit jacket, which has a crest on the left side, over a yellow shirt and grey trousers, with a brown boater hat, with a purple band. The Duchess wears a light purple dress, with white collars and pink floral patterns and a floppy brown sun hat. In *Timothy and The Rainbow Truck*, she wore a rainbow coloured dress with a matching sunhat.

## Trivia

* The Duchess' first speaking role was in *Hero of the Rails*. She never spoke in the model era.

Velma is trying to have fun alone by playing with her stuffed rabbit, but she is bored. She throws her rabbit up and down, saying "Hop" in a monotone voice each time. Shaggy notices that she is lonely and decides to cheer her up by introducing his toy lizard to her rabbit.

They make the rabbit and the lizard friends, and Shaggy suggests that they chase each other. The rabbit "chases" the lizard and hops on top of it. Shaggy and Velma laugh and put the toys down. Velma looks at Shaggy and says that she loves him, and Shaggy says that he loves her, too.

The Grumpy Passenger

**The Grumpy Passenger** is a grumpy man who often grumbles and complains. He is a resident of the Island of Sodor and is a frequent user of its railways despite his negative opinion of them.

## History

### Thomas & Friends

The Grumpy Passenger is a man who rides on Duncan's train every day. The man is constantly complaining about everything. One day, Duncan decided he had had enough of the man and tried to do everything he could to stop the complaining. No matter what he did, the man still complained. After causing a lot of trouble, Mr. Percival told Duncan that he knew the man well: he was always extremely grumpy and finding something to moan about. Lesson learned, Duncan decided to ignore the man in the future.

He is always checking his pocket watch, often reads the Sodor Times newspaper, and carries a flask of tea. He is a fan of the Sodor United Football Team and attended one of their games against Barrow.

Once, he took a tour of the Estate Railway. When the tour concluded, he attempted to disembark his coach, only for Stephen to set off in pursuit of Millie, after assuming that she had run away. Stephen took his train to the Blue Mountain Quarry, which the passenger complained about for "not being in the brochure". Stephen eventually ran out of water near Crovan's Gate, much to the passenger's fury. He attempted to complain to Sir Robert Norramby, only for the Earl to say he was lucky to receive an extended tour of the island at no extra charge. The Earl also promised him free tea and cake upon their return to the Estate, which placated the passenger.

## Personality

As his nickname suggests, he is a very grumpy and moody man who always complains about something endlessly, with the railways he uses being a particular target, or even cause, of his ire. Very rarely is he seen in a good mood.

## Trivia

* It is unknown what his name is.
* The Grumpy Passenger is a modified version of a generic background character who would later be used as a Great Railway Show Judge in *The Great Race*.
* In "*Mike's Whistle*", there is a character that is similar to the Grumpy Passenger, as he has the same personality, and uses a different modified version of the Grumpy Passenger's model.
Video!

"**Video!**" is an episode of *Scooby Doo* from season two.

## Summary

*Daphne suggests that instead of watching a video, the family makes a video. Shaggy and Velma are thrilled, and Daphne shows them how to shoot and edit a home video. They screen the completed video on the TV and eat popcorn.* — NickJr.com (source)

## Plot

Shaggy and Velma are intently watching a movie on TV. Daphne greets them and asks how many times they've watched the video. "Seventeen," Shaggy responds. "Today," Velma adds. Daphne is shocked and turns off the TV. He tells them that if they like watching videos so much, they should make their *own* video instead. The teens are excited by this idea, and Daphne shows them his video camera. He explains that he can use the camera to shoot a home video, use the computer to edit it, and then use the TV to watch it.

Daphne takes the camera outside and sets it up. He shows Shaggy and Velma how to start the camera by pressing a button. "Fancy," Shaggy declares. "Yet simple," Velma says. Daphne starts to film the video. Shaggy and Velma introduce themselves and briefly talk about their lives. Velma asks if they can watch the video, but Daphne tells her that they need to film more and edit the footage first.

Shaggy decides to put the family's garden gnome, Fritz, in the video. Velma spots Fred playing with a ball across the street and asks Daphne to add him to the video. They (along with the viewers) get Kako's attention by calling his name. He and Shaggy do their "secret" handshake for the video. After this, Fred realizes that the handshake can't be secret anymore, since it's been recorded. Shaggy says that it's their *famous* handshake now. The boys laugh and Fred tells the others that he'll come back to watch the finished video later on. Shaggy, Velma, and Daphne go inside to edit the video.

Daphne teaches the teens how to plug the camera into the computer, put the video together, and add music. While they edit the video, the interview segments start. Preschoolers are shown talking about their own home movies. After they end, the family has finished editing their video. They hear a knock on the door and open it.

Fred is standing outside, wearing sunglasses to look like a movie star. The kids sit in front of the TV and eat popcorn. Daphne starts the video. As the teens watch it, they make commentary on everyone's performances. When the video ends, they all comment, then ask Daphne to play it again. Shaggy waves goodbye to the viewers as the video restarts.
