Mr. Perkins

Driver Perkins (played by Ben Forster) is a new driver on Sodor. He appears between the episodes on the Splish, Splash, Splosh!, Thomas and the Runaway Kite, and Creaky Cranky DVDs.

Driver Perkins helps out Sir Topham Hatt, all of Sodor's engines, and the train engineers. In the DVD Splish, Splash, Splosh!, he was assigned to make a birthday cake for Sir Topham Hatt, and he makes one that looks just like Thomas. In the DVD Thomas and the Runaway Kite, he takes care of Dowager Hatt's parrot Beaky. In the Creaky Cranky DVD release, he is busy preparing Mr. Arkwright's surprise birthday party.
