Old Stuck-Up

"I hope it's cold tonight and he can't start in the morning. At least someone might want to preserve us. Who'd need him? Old Stuck Up!"

- James, "James and the Diesel Engines", page 14

Old Stuck-Up, so named by James, is a haughty diesel.

Bio
BoCo was to show Old Stuck-Up, who then had not recieved his nickname, around, but when the diesel saw steam engines in the shed he refused to go further and insulted the railway for keeping them in service, which led to a furious James giving him the nickname "Old Stuck-Up".

The next day, Old Stuck-Up was about to leave when he remembered he needed refueling. He attempted to use BoCo and Bear's part of the shed to be refuelled and cleaned, but slid on cleaning fluid on the rails and thus crashed into the back of the shed. He was sent home after being talked to severely by the Fat Controller - BoCo quipped that while he couldn't hear everything he didn't think it sounded particularly flattering.

Persona
Old Stuck-Up is rude and arrogant, as seems to be the norm with visiting diesels - bar BoCo and Bear, of course - and believes that steam power is subpar to diesel.

Appearances
Old Stuck-Up only appeared in "James and the Diesel Engines".

Basis
Old Stuck-Up, like the Diesel, is based on a BR Class 40 1Co-Co1.
