James

James is a red mixed-traffic engine, and is the Northwestern Railway's number 5.

Bio
James was built for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1912, and came to Sodor the following year, not long before Thomas.

In 1923, he crashed through a fence and into a field. After he was rescued, he was painted scarlet, and became quite conceited. However, after having another accident, this time with some tar wagons in 1951, he toned down his boasting.

Persona
After his repaint, James became very self-centered. Now, he is a changed engine, and cares greatly for his friends, as he will stop at nothing make sure that they are safe and sound; all the while keeping his scarlet coat very shiny.
