James The Red Engine

Kindness Score: 8 out of 10 Vote here to tell us what you think of James The Red Engine.

James is a 2-6-0 mixed traffic engine. He can pull trucks or coaches. He came to the Island of Sodor as an 0-4-0, but Sir Topham Hatt had another pair of wheels added in front and replaced his wooden brakeblocks which caught fire on Gordon's Hill when James first arrived (this is when he got his fancy red paint job). James lives at Tidmouth. He is inclined to grumble but has many times proved himself to be a valuable member of the engine fleet.

While James is one of "the big engines" (a trio with Gordon and Henry), he is certainly the most junior member of this clique, often resulting in him getting too big for his boots. He often brags about his red paint, as though this makes him superior to other engines (a notion which is usually dispelled quickly enough).
