Thomas and Friends DC Dart Vehicle Playset

Product Information

Series 21 - Springtime for Diesel, Dowager Hatt's Busy Day ( cameo), The Big Freeze and Daisy's Perfect Christmas When Percy arranges for Thomas to fetch Kevin from the Dieselworks, his body has shifted downwards. Soon the steam and diesel engines work together to restore the Dieselworks. At the opening, the Fat Controller says that the new Dieselworks is special because it shows what happens when Really Useful Engines work together and that he is very proud of all of his engines. Percy rolls up beside Thomas and tells him that he feels proud and special when he is with him and Thomas says the same thing. The two best friends laugh together. Characterisation Marches On: In their earliest appearances, they sometimes joined the more antagonistic diesels if it fit their cause (though with implications they were still softer and less willing than Diesel or Diesel 10 who usually ran things). By Season 16 they are nearly always on good terms with the steam engines.

Freudian Excuse: He discusses it in "Springtime for Diesel", saying how he doesn't feel that he should be nice to engines who aren't nice to him; evidently, on some level he's very well aware of how unfriendly he is, but is hurt by the fact that the other engines don't give him a chance to redeem himself, so he continues being mean since that's apparently what they expect of him.Reluctant Retiree: His retirement wasn't his own decision; he was gradually phased out as growing workloads became too big for him to keep up. By the time Thomas takes over his line, he's rotting away in a siding.

Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: The Grumpy to Salty's Gleeful. As his name implies, he is a cranky harbor crane who works both day and night, never getting a rest (which actually becomes a plot point in "No Sleep For Cranky"), and he doesn't particularly enjoy listening to Salty's stories. This special marks the second time Thomas and Percy fight a fire, the first time being in the fifth series episode, Thomas, Percy and Old Slow Coach. Meaningful Name: Her name comes from the company that designed and built her, the Marion Power Shovel Company. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The twins may be mischievous and bratty little engines, but they do have their moments of behaving well.

Some engines do not have a hollow area for their cab; this is the case with all post-second re-design engines with the exception of 'Arry, Bert and Hiro.

During a big freeze, he helped the other diesels do the steam engines' work when the coal delivery was delayed. [9] Whiff's original model had an incorrect 0-4-4 wheel arrangement. The 2013 re-designed model gained the correct 2-2-4 wheel arrangement. Dart based on 0-4-0 Diesel-hydraulic shunter no. 3207 "Leys" built by W. G. Bagnall. It was the last locomotive built by Bagnall. It is now preserved on the Foxfield Railway.

Stephen the Original Steamie, depicts Stephen with a tender, despite him not having one prior to his restoration.
