Bio
Thomas was built at Brighton Works in 1913. Due to a wartime mix-up, Thomas arrived on Sodor. Instead of returning to the south coast of England when the problem was sorted, both his driver and fireman married local girls and decided to stay and the Fat Controller bought Thomas for a nominal fee.

Persona
Thomas is a rather cheeky, but good hearted engine and generally behaves well, except when he gets into mishap. He loves to tease the others and, on occasion, brags about his superiority, but is always brought down to earth in due course. He is forgetful and slightly impatient.
