Mavis

## Bio

**Mavis** was arrogant until being brought down to earth after her embarrassing incident at the Ffarquhar crossing.

Dennis

## Bio

**Dennis** is considered to be a very lazy diesel who tries to take advantage of others and depend on them to do his work. Dennis will often create excuses to get out of work, but usually gets caught in his lies, and always says sorry - but whether or not he means it is the question. He is fortunate enough to have a caring and hard-working brother like Norman, but even he won't be afraid to call Dennis out about slacking. He now lives at Knapford Yards.

Firemen

## Bio

The **fireman** helps maintain the steam engine, and, along with the driver, keeps the engine in control and provides a voice of reason when an engine is being difficult. If the driver is unwell or is called away for some reason, the fireman usually takes over and drives the engine instead. While the engine is moving, they shovel coal into the fire and keep the water level where it needs to be, and fill up an engine's water tanks or tender. After a day's work is over, they clean out the ash from the firebox. They also couple the engine if a shunter is not available.

## Bio

## Bio

**Madge** is a snub-nosed lorry with a three-wheeled cab and a flatbed. She works alongside the Skarloey Railway. What Madge lacks in elegance, she makes up for in strength and personality. She acts as a motherly figure to the narrow gauge engines, but can be playful and loves a good joke.

Theo

## Bio

**Theo** is an experimental railway traction engine who works at the Steelworks. He is very shy, extremely cautious and awkward. He has an unusual experimental drive system that doesn’t always run very smoothly and he makes sudden jolts forward or back when his rods or cogs jam. Quiet and thoughtful, with a habit of blunt speaking, his confidence is often jolted. But Theo is genuinely kind and caring and would just like to keep himself and his friends as safe as possible so they can hide away and have a quiet life.

## Trivia

* This episode was originally scheduled to be released in August of 2022 but was pushed back to September due to editing conflicts.
* The script was finished on May 31st, 2022.
* Percy and Duck's roles were changed to Thomas and James during refilming.
	+ In the original version of the story, Edward's role would have been Emily's.
* A deleted scene involved Captain moving Daisy out of the way from a tree about to fall. This is still present in the original version of the story.
* In the original version of the story, Skiff consoled Captain instead of Harold.
	+ Gator was also mentioned in the original version, but was not present in the "Sudrian Stories" version.
* Captain's model as seen in the episode was released on The Marvellous Mainland Model Works after the premiere.

## References to the Official Show

## Goofs

* Flynn clips through the station platform at Maron.
* Some shots do not show Captain bobbing in the water.
* The very first shot of Skiff does not show his "railboat tours" plate. This is due to an older version of the model being used in that specific scene before it was switched out right after.
Molly

## Bio

**Molly** is a powerful, bright yellow tender engine. She is proud of her strength and is happy to put it to use as one of Sodor's bigger engines. She often works pulling empty trucks to the coaling plant. Because she is a sensitive engine, she often worries about fading into the background. Sometimes taking "empties" makes her feel less important and sad, but in the end, she will usually see that taking "empties" is a vital part of operations and an important task after all. Molly has a peacekeeper attitude, tends to be rather sensible, and is looked upon as a "big sister" by some of the other engines. However, she is a sensitive soul, who can be easily embarrassed and can get upset by conflict, and will steam away to avoid it, but will usually have the courage to do what she thinks is right. Molly likes to be as good as everyone else and wants the other engines to think the best of her.
Toby

## Bio

**Toby** is old but wise, hardworking, and knowledgeable enough about running branch lines to justify running Thomas' line with Daisy after Percy's accident with the trucks until Thomas came back. He is also savvy enough to control the trucks. However, his advanced age and design means that he is weaker than the other engines. While Toby is always ready to work hard without any fuss, he can be a bit temperamental sometimes, especially when young and inexperienced engines who are full of themselves make things difficult for him. However, work at the quarry line often soothes off his moods without any cause of grief to anyone, except of course his old faithful coach, Henrietta.

Sonny

## Bio

Before arriving on the Island of Sodor, **Sonny** worked at a coal mine, pulling heavy trucks of coal up steep hills. He was one of the first engines to be built with piston valves, allowing him to control the amount of steam he used. Sonny is a complicated engine. While a bit of an outsider, he often follows along to whatever orders he has been given from his superiors, unfortunately landing him at the hands of Baz and Bernie's scheming minds. During his time at the ownership of the two thieves, Sonny displayed tendencies to be gruff, sinister and rude, repelling other engines. However, after Thomas helped him on a dairy run and he got praised by Sir Robert Norramby, the well-tank engine turned over a new leaf, standing up to the thieves and working hard to be really useful, as well as willing to tell the truth if needed. After being caught by Thomas, Sonny revealed Baz and Bernie's plans. Once the pair had been caught, Sir Topham Hatt - encouraged by Thomas - decided to give Sonny a second chance and brought him into the North Western Railway fleet. Although he is sometimes distrusted for his past sins, Sonny had proven to be trustworthy and reliable, making him a true asset to the North Western Railway.

Whiff

## Bio

**Whiff** is cheerful, optimistic, and a bit nerdy. He enjoys his job of collecting rubbish. He doesn't seem to care what the other engines think about him: either that or he is oblivious to their opinions. Despite that, he is friendly and always does his job well. He is somewhat naive, as he didn't realize why the other engines tried to avoid him so much when he first came to Sodor, but now he knows they would lose their minds if he stopped working for one day. Whiff seems to lack a sense of smell since he loves doing the dirtiest and smelliest jobs around, but tells the others that someone has to do it! Whiff works at a waste dump named after himself with his friend Scruff, who also doesn't mind the smell.

Bert

## Bio

**Bert** is the quietest of the Arlesdale Railway engines. He appears to be very easy going and friendly. One thing Bert does not like, however, is the idea that bigger engines (and some people) might look down on the little engines just because they are small. He is still friendly to bigger engines, and usually corrects them when they look down upon smaller engines. Bert usually gets on with his jobs without complaining and does not mind what kind of work he does as long as he is treated with respect.

Rheneas

## Bio

**Rheneas** has been called a "gallant old engine" before and deserves such a title. Rheneas is highly determined, brave, courageous, and long-time friend of Skarloey. He is a tough, committed worker despite his age and takes great responsibility in his work. He is keen to keep his friends smiling and, although he is a level-headed engine, he can be a bit of an adventurer too. Though he may often try to struggle on alone, Rheneas knows when it is time to call on the help of his friends. Nevertheless, Rheneas is always highly dedicated to the task at hand.

## Bio

When she first arrived on Sodor, she used to idolize Thomas, even going as far as to follow him around and try to copy his every move. With the passage of time, Rosie became more focused and mature, and stands no nonsense for teasing or rudeness. She's not afraid to voice her opinion, and her friends love her honesty. After being repainted red and given the number thirty-seven, she was relocated to run the Vicarstown Goods Yard.

What Buster lacks in imagination, he makes up for with heart, commitment, and hard work. He is liked by all the machines for his wonderful enthusiasm and kindness to help with everything.
Diesel

## Bio

**Diesel** is, in essence, the average pantomime villain. He is oily, malicious, devious, scheming, and full of ideas to get revenge. It appears Diesel has a good side in him, but one would still have to look deep to find it. He does want to be a really useful engine, however, since his arrival, he has given Diesels a bad reputation. He is also very proud to be the first Diesel on Sodor.

Porter

## Bio

**Porter** is a kind and helpful dockside tank engine who works at Brendam Docks, alongside Salty and Cranky. He has a good sense of self-confidence and does not worry about what other engines say about him, such as calling him a ‘camel’ because he has so many humps. Porter is not above engaging in a bit of friendly dockside banter himself, but when another engine is feeling low he can be very supportive. Porter’s easy-going manner makes him very popular. He is a hard worker, although he can be a bit of a perfectionist at times. He is also very brave and can keep his head cool in a crisis.

## Bio

He’s seen engines come and go and he knows where they end up if they aren't careful! Reg doesn't mind working with stuff that other people throw away and can see the good in things that have been neglected. He would probably never say it about himself, but Reg is a bit of a diamond in the rough.

Marion is very enthusiastic and likes to think of herself as well-informed and is happy to share her knowledge. She is very talkative and loves to tell stories of her discoveries. However, not all the engines prefer to stick around and hear her stories. Despite her enthusiastic demeanor, she can also be rather stern, as seen when she told off Ben for not delivering any coal and making the twins apologize and thank Timothy.

Long ago, Harold served in the Coast Guard, which is where he met Captain, and later recommended him once the Rescue Center was finished.

Flora was overjoyed to learn there were still other trams out there. Once restored, she was excited to run the tramway again, even if she was the last of her kind. Flora has her own tram coach which is her "pride and joy". Flora can have a short attention span and gets distracted easily. For someone who travels on a loop all day, we can't blame her. Flora wants to explore Sodor, especially since she was out of power and forgotten about for so long, but she knows how important it is to get her passengers delivered on time.

## Synopsis

Christmas arrives on Sodor and everyone is feeling jolly. Everyone except Hiro, who feels homesick. Percy tries his hardest to make him feel better.

## Plot

As Christmas approaches, the engines are hard at work and excited. At the shunting yards, Percy drops off his mail train. He then heads through Knapford, and spots Hiro, who is looking a little sad. Percy asks what's the matter but Hiro tells him it's nothing. During the day, Percy worked hard. Stopping at Wellsworth, Percy asks Edward why Hiro was upset, and Edward and Philip mention they noticed it too. As Percy arrives in Knapford later that day, Hiro is waiting at the platform. Percy questions Hiro about why he was sad. Hiro said he was thinking about his memories of Christmas back home in Japan. Percy wants to figure out a way to cheer up Hiro. During the day, Percy keeps getting lost in thought.

Back at the Shunting Yards, Percy tells Stanley how he can't figure out a way to cheer up Hiro. Stanley suggests bringing a "Japanese Christmas" to Hiro, which gives Percy an idea as he heads back to Knapford. Sir Topham Hatt agrees with the idea. A few days later, at the Christmas party, everyone is happy except Hiro. Percy arrives with a special surprise to cheer up Hiro. Stepping out of his cab, is Hiro's controller from Japan, Sir Takaboushi Hideki. Hiro is now happy once again!

Railcar Rivalry

**Railcar Rivalry** is the seventh episode of Season 2 of Sudrian Stories and seventeenth episode overall.

## Synopsis

Daisy is shocked to find out she's not the only railcar on Sodor anymore.

## Plot

Daisy prides herself on being one-of-a-kind: the only railcar on Sodor. Ryan arrives at Harwick and lets Daisy know that the Earl's friend has brought a railcar from Germany to Sodor, thus making her not "the only railcar" anymore. Daisy leaves to go find the engine himself, leaving her passengers to Ryan, before letting him know that she "owes him one".

At Ulfstead Castle, the Earl's friend, Franz, informs everyone about Hugo the rail zeppelin. Daisy arrives and meets Hugo, but thinks he looks like an airplane. Daisy apologizes for being rude, but Hugo thinks Daisy didn't like him. The Earl insists they should get to know eachother, when he has an idea. Stephen and Glynn let Hugo know that when the Earl has an idea, it usually means trouble.

A few days later, Daisy is shocked to find Hugo waiting for her at Harwick. Both engines are confused about why Hugo is there, but the Earl wants them to spend the day together, as Daisy goes about her route. Neither engine is in love with the idea, but they head out together anyway.

Soon enough, the two do in fact become fast friends. Hugo envies the other engines since they can do actual jobs aside from taking passengers around, and his propeller being an inconvenience at times. Just then, an old tree begins to fall towards them. Hugo's propeller manages to generate enough wind to blast the tree out of the way from hitting Daisy. She lets Hugo know that his propeller is really useful, and is now happy to have another railcar friend, despite her initial jealousy. At the end of the day, the two are glad they had a good day together, but Ryan arrives, ready for Daisy to "owe him" by doing his goods work. Daisy asks if Hugo wants to help, but without any coupling hooks, she's left to do her jobs in the end.

Samson

## Bio

He rarely asks for help or advice to avoid seeming inexperienced around the Island. He is also quite arrogant, believing himself to be the Island's strongest tank engine.

Tiger Moth

## Bio

**Tiger Moth** is Harry Topper’s trusty bi-plane with a love for high-flying aerial maneuvers and a penchant for showmanship. Often found flying over the island advertising various Topper Attractions events, he is more focused on getting the word out on his boss’ plans through elaborate spectacle…with little regard for anyone else in the sky! Tiger Moth has an enormous ego and considers himself to be the most capable flyer in the Sodor skies; a sentiment Harold the Helicopter cannot agree with due to frequently having to rescue the bi-plane from crash landings! Tiger Moth resents Harold deeply and the two have a bitter rivalry (albeit mainly from Tiger Moth’s end) due to Tiger Moth wanting the adulation and attention Harold gets from being a part of the rescue team, occasionally interfering with Harold’s rescues as a “sky vigilante” - a habit that has gotten him grounded on several occasions! Despite Tiger Moth’s dramatic, attention-seeking tendencies, he is extremely loyal to his owner and pilot, Harry Topper, and is the vehicle he has owned the longest, giving him permission to be a little snarky when he thinks one of Topper’s schemes is a little too hare-brained.

## Trivia

* While never featuring a face in the television series, Tiger Moth did in fact sport one in several magazine stories and this ideas was carried over to Sudrian Stories to make the character feel even more alive.
Bradford Says

**Bradford Says** is the sixth episode of Season 2 of Sudrian Stories and sixteenth episode overall.

## Synopsis

Samson and Bradford get into an argument about the railway rules, which gets them into more trouble.

## Plot

Despite their friendship, Samson and Bradford find themselves arguing more than usual. Bradford urges Samson to brush up on the railway guidelines, but Samson isn't interested. Out on the mainline, Bradford applies his brakes to slow Samson down, but the train comes to a complete stop. The two will be late if Samson doesn't listen, so he agrees. At a crossing, Diesel teases Samson for being late and slow, which makes Samson feel like a fool for listening to Bradford.

At the docks, Salty commends Samson for collecting his train, but Samson is upset he'll be late in the end regardless. To make up for lost time, Samson speeds up a significant amount, causing Bradford to make him slow down. Samson decides to go even faster. Bradford steps in and applies his brakes, but the force causes his coupling to snap. Samson stops at once, but Sir Topham Hatt arrives at an incredibly convenient time to counsel the arguing engine and brake van. As Bradford tries to argue his point, Sir Topham Hatt wants to hear both sides of the story. Sir Topham Hatt reminds Bradford that while he has an important responsibility in the train, he isn't in control of it, despite the fact Samson was speeding. As Bradford is taken to the goods yard to have his coupling replaced, Samson takes another brake van and makes it to the quarry on time.

He is highly respected among all of the Sodor engines for helping to sort their repairs and see to their needs. He is very friendly, can often put a smile on an engine's smokebox, and will often help guide an engine where he feels it may be to their benefit. Victor also has a firm manner when something needs to be sorted and stands no nonsense from haughty steam engines or lurking diesel engines. He takes his work very seriously and takes great pride in helping to maintain the service of the Steamworks. In his time, Victor has helped restore, repair, and repaint many of Sodor's locomotives and he keeps the Steamworks a welcoming, bustling, hospitable environment. He keeps a keen, watchful eye over Kevin the crane, who assists him in the works' operations.

Bulgy

## Bio

**Bulgy** was a very rude and bad-tempered double-decker bus. He hated railways, and believed that some day they would all be replaced by roads. He even carried a poster on his side telling people to "JOIN THE ANTI-RAIL LEAGUE". His favorite phrase is "Free the roads!" Bulgy tried to steal Duck and Oliver's passengers by pretending to be a railway bus. Bulgy was determined to get the passengers to Tidmouth before Duck, but got stuck under a bridge after attempting to take a short cut. After Duck safely brought his passengers across the bridge and back to their destination, Bulgy's lies were exposed, and soon "nobody would believe his destination boards".He had no scruples and knew how to tell a lie when he is in a tight jam. Eventually he was turned into a hen-house and placed near the bridge, now nicknamed "Bulgy's Bridge". Bulgy was later given a second chance and was brought back to the road to help with passengers while Thomas and Emily needed repairs, but after his driver brought him back to his field for the night after he was restored, the chickens who had lived in him nestled in his luggage racks and caused trouble the following morning. He was then turned into a mobile vegetable stand. After being restored, he saw the error of his ways and changed his attitude. Bulgy enjoys his work delivering vegetables, because they do not lay eggs and they never complain. Recently, Bulgy has been seen back in his original red livery.

It was added back to his design to reflect the more scheming, proactively anti-rail characterization he returns to compared to his original CGI depiction.
Terence

## Bio

**Terence** is an assertive, orange tractor with caterpillar tracks. The engines find these very unusual, but Terence is very capable of proving that he does not need rails and that his tracks allow him to go practically anywhere. He takes any teasing in the name of fun and is happy to get on with his job, usually partaking in agricultural work. Terence never hesitates to assist in emergencies or sticky situations, road or rail, due to his helpful, forgiving nature. His tracks are particularly invaluable in harsh winter conditions when snow can affect transport across the Island. He may be slow, but he is versatile, adaptable, and helpful. He can usually be found transporting agricultural produce or cheerily plowing fields beside Thomas's branch line or on Farmer Trotter's farm.

Class 40

## Bio

**Class 40**, also known as **D261** and formerly **Bowler**, is a big green diesel. Class 40 is snobbish, smug and rude with his snide remarks, believing that diesel engines are superior and should take over from steam engines. Once, he was showing off in front of the other engines and accidentally sucked an inspector's bowler hat into his air intake. While the Sodor engines gave him his new nickname, he slipped away. Since then, Class 40 wanted to make any visit to Sodor as quick as possible. Until, Sir Robert Norramby purchased him to do goods work to and from as well as around the castle. Despite his rude demeanor, Class 40 has a heart deep down and wants to be useful like everyone else, even if it means being "top of the class"!

Jock

* II
* I

## Bio

**Jock**, named by Douglas for his yellow livery, is the fourth steam engine on the Arlesdale Railway, and the strongest. Jock was very cocky when he was first built, as a result of being stronger and more popular than the other engines, but soon learned the value of teamwork when Mike's injector failed and he had to pull Mike and his train single-handedly. Afterwards he became more helpful and kind towards the engines.

Sir Handel

## Bio

**Sir Handel**, named Falcon is his younger days while being brought up under the instruction of Duke, has been prone to moody tantrums, being stubborn, and thinking that he knows better than others. He has broad wheels which hold well to the rails and has been said to give a smooth ride, perhaps contributing to his arrogant self-importance and his belief that he is a grand engine. He has been known in the past to take a disliking to the narrow gauge coaches (often referring to them as "cattle trucks"), feigning illness, and think that he should be in charge. However, Sir Handel works to get things done and is proud to also be a reliable, helpful, and good-hearted engine. He has a habit of getting too big for his wheels.

## Trivia

* Sir Handel is named after the original owner of the Skarloey Railway.
* Sir Handel's voice is based on Tony Sampson's performance as Eddy from *Ed, Edd n' Eddy.*
Dustin

## Bio

**Dustin** is a Canadian self-propelled snowplow locomotive. Dustin is strong, but slow and he works hard on Sodor clearing snow.

Evil Like Diesel (song)

**Evil Like Diesel** is the fourth song featured in Evil Like Diesel. It is performed by Ilovetrains323 and EpicLafiteau.

## Lyrics

**Philip:** Look at you
Look at me
I don't know who to be
Diesel
Is it wrong
Is it right?
Be a thief in the night
Diesel
Tell me what to do
**Diesel:** I was once like you my friend
Slightly insecure
Been nice to steamies too
Thought It was mature
But I put my heart aside
And the steamies have to pay
Now I think it's time you learned
How to do the rough and tough way
Don't you wanna be evil like me?
Don't you wanna be mean?
Don't you wanna make mischief your daily routine?
Well you can spend your life attending to the poor
But when you're evil doing less is doing more
Don't you wanna be ruthless and rotten and mad?
Don't you wanna be very, very good at being bad?
I have tried my whole life long to do the worst I can
Clawed my way to victory
Built my master plan...
**Philip:** Speaking of claws!

Natalie

## Bio

**Natalie** is the sweet and friendly but perpetually harried hostess of the Sidings, a refueling station just outside Barrow-in-Furness where engines sit and wait in a restaurant or bar-like atmosphere for Natalie to bring them their coal or fuel. Although constantly in need of further help, Natalie loves her job and the Sidings more than almost anything, and works as hard as she does to preserve the atmosphere that she loves so deeply. She lives by the motto of “service with a smile”, which has both its benefits and its drawbacks; she is outgoing and capable of holding a conversation with almost anybody and hear them out on their issues, but also has a tendency to bottle up her own emotions until she is pushed to the end of her rope and explodes. Natalie is also quite witty, a trait she shares with her little brother Dart (who used to work at the Sidings before moving to help Den at the Dieselworks, a move Natalie has been supportive of despite how much additional stress it causes her), and frequently banters with her patrons to add to the “fun” the Sidings brings compared to other, more quiet refueling stations.

## Appearances

### Season 3

* How Diesel 10 Stole Christmas (*mentioned*)

## Voice Artist

* It is currently unknown who will voice Natalie.
