- First Appearance: Of Peter and Eric, in that order.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Invoked; when Henry drops off a train at Barrow, Edward explains that his destination is right next to the scrapyard, a place that all engines fear, thus Henry is quick to leave.

- According to Edward, Donald and Douglas are the more amiable of the seven Midis, save for Douglas' rivalry with James.
- Edward finds out Peter is this.
