8[[folder:Diesel]]
9A diesel (No kidding!), one of the very first to be built on the Other Railway - which explains that horrible clanking he's made since 1965. While he claims to be 'revolutionary' and know everything, he is in fact lazy and arrogant, only willing to work if there's something for him in return. Hates joy, hope and steamies.

50[[folder:[=D4711=] “D261” “Bowler”]]
51An uppity passenger engine with chronic hypochondria, made even worse after a visit to Sodor where he accidentally ingested an inspector's grubby bowler hat. Equal parts posh toff and paranoid twat, Bowler's idea of fun is having his buffers polished to the point of blinding all within a five yard radius. Phobias include children, animals, rain, mud, germs, dust, fumes, flowers, chocolate, milk, bluebottles, hair, stamps...

Such highlights include causing the biggest pileup in railway history, throwing shampoo in Diesel's eyes and then punching him in the face for nearly three hours when he crashed into a salon and nearly gave her a heart attack. and she was a increasingly nasty Gunnery Sergeant to the third Controller in the railways history.
