Bio
Samson came to the Island of Sodor to help with the Earl's dinosaur park. His first job was to deliver dinosaur models to the estate; however, he got lost and ended up in the Blue Mountain Quarry, only arriving at the estate next morning. Later, he refused to listen to Stanley's advice and took the Express Coaches instead of trucks to the Blue Mountain Quarry. He also teased Millie and Harvey for being afraid of the dinosaur models, only to get a shock when Millie tricked him into thinking that a volcano was erupting.

Personality
Samson is a dignified tank engine with a lot of pride for the work he does. He rarely asks for help or advice to avoid seeming inexperienced around the Island.

Basis
Samson is based on an 0-4-0 saddle tank engine that worked at the High Harrington Ironworks on the Furness Railway.

Livery
Samson is painted in a green-grey hue with red lining.
