It gets worse in the second season when Bill is sentenced to scrap thanks to the NWR running out of money and is then abudcted by Paul Maxwell.
  • Easily Forgiven: Not at all as Bill states that while he loves his brother he can’t firgive him for causing him to crash.

  • Yank the Dog's Chain: The ending of the first season hinted that Bill and Ben would be able to see each other again soon. Then season two reveals that Ben’s repairs have been halted due to the railway running out of money and Ben is destined to be scrapped and that’s before Paul Maxwell enters the picture.

  • Big Bad: Is this for the first season. Until the second season introduces P.T Boomer.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Barring his fellow diesels, Diesel Ten’s polite demeanor is nothing more than a facade to hide his sinister nature.

  • The Dragon: Take over Arry and Bert’s role in season two.

  • Actually Pretty Funny: Admits to Duck in “Last Chance” that his accident with the trucks in his first visit was funny looking back.

Thomas

Voiced by: Cyber Rusty 99 (Season 1) Mr.Oily 516 (Last Chance)
The famous tank engine who works on the NWR.
  • Demoted to Extra: The famous tank engine is the protagonist in canon and most fan works. Not here as he’s only given small roles throughout the first and second season. Until “Last Chance.”
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Thomas’ refusal to forgive Diesel leads to the E2 to ally with Perry who causes Duck to crash and Diesel being sent away seemingly for good.
  • Oh, Crap!: Has a massive one when he realizes that Perry, the man he’s talking to is the real mastermind behind the Branch line incident and he’s just struck again.

Humans

Sir Topham Hatt/The Fat Controller

Voiced by: Cyber Rusty 99
The controller of the NWR.
  • Big Good: As always he’s this.
  • Sadistic Choice: Forced to make one in “Last Chance” as due to already being short on funds from repairing the Flying Scotsman, he’s caught between not repairing Duck who suffered a massive crash thanks to Perry or dooming Diesel to scrap. Paul Maxwell does decide to buy the 08 shunter though given that the NWR’s money issues will still linger, it’s likely that Diesel won’t be coming back.
