Character Description
Thomas is the first original engine on the Northwestern Railroad. He used to be the pilot switcher at Knapford Yard but was promoted by the Fat Director to the lead engine of the Ffarquhar Branch and now pulls two suburban coaches, Annie and Clarabel. After he and an American engine named Lady defeated the NWR's number D10 after he went rough, though, Thomas was severely damaged. He was rebuilt for the second time, but this time, he became a tender engine, although nobody quite knows the reason. He was rebuilt as an NWR original, the Awdry-class, an engine named after The Good Reverend himself.
Personality
