S.C. Ruffey

    Scruffey 
 * Class: "Private Owner" 7-plank mineral wagons
 * Gauge: 4' 8.5"

Scruffey was a ballast wagon.

Bio in the Railway Series
When Oliver returned after falling in a turntable well, Scruffey and the trucks sang rude songs about the event. Toad, worried by the lack of respect for the engines, consulted with Oliver and Duck and made a plan. Oliver then shunted Scruffey and his lieutenants, and prepared to pull them. Scuffey rallied the trucks into holding back, but this only resulted in Scruffey being pulled apart. The incident was attributed to his poor condition, but the Fat Controller told Oliver not to disclose the fact, saying it was "bad for discipline".

Bio in the television series
Scruffey was rebuilt following his incident, and wisely did not disclose the true nature of his rebuild. Sometime later, he was being used in the coal mines when his train ran underground, eventually crashing into a roof support. He was trapped underground following its subsequent collapse.

Basis
Scruffey is based on a "Private Owner" 7-plank mineral wagon.

Livery
Scruffey is coloured grey with "S. C. RUFFEY and Co. Ballast Contractors-Tidmouth-Sodor" painted on both sides in white. Before his accident and repair Scruffey's parts were rusted.

Appearances
Scruffey only appeared in "Oliver the Western Engine". In the television series, he appeared in the fourth season; it is also presumed he appeared in the fifth.
