Diesel 261 (nicknamed Bowler, Class 40, or The Diesel) is a snobbish green diesel from the Other Railway.
Bio
Diesel 261 first came to the island as a visitor, overlapping with the final days of Stepney's first visit to Sodor. He was very derogated towards the engines, with his best comment being "I've seen worse." He became very unpopular on the island, and whilst preparing to pull the Express, he sucked an inspector's hat into his air intake and had to be shunted into the shed. He soon left thereafter, leaving a rather nasty smell of fuel and a battered bowler hat!
Persona
Diesel 261 is snobbish and rude, believing that diesel engines should take over from steam engines.
Livery
Diesel 261 is painted in British Railway's two-tone green livery with a black roof and yellow warning panels.
Appearances
He will appear in the third season.
Specials:
- The Great Journey of Sodor
Trivia
- Diesel 261's number belonged to a real Class 40. The real Diesel 261 entered service on the 26th of February, 1960 and withdrawn from service in 1983.
