Biography[]
When Hiro first arrived on Sodor, Grandfather Hatt was present for his unloading at Brendam Docks.[3]
One day, both he and his grandson were out on a horse and carriage ride through the countryside, but Grandfather Hatt noticed a hole on the road and the carriage's wheel broke off, leaving the horse running away in the distance. They later passed Stepney who was pulling coal trucks, and despite the load, decided to hitch a ride on the trucks back home. They were covered in coal dust, but they did not mind it, and later took their photograph.[1]
His grandson would later follow in his father and grandfather's footsteps in managing the North Western Railway some time after his unmentioned death.[2]
Attire[]
Similar to his grandson, Grandfather Hatt is a short, stout gentleman. He is dressed in a black morning suit with grey trousers, a red waistcoat, a black tie and a top hat. He is also seen with a white moustache.

Trivia[]
- According to 2015 Trading Cards, Sir Topham Hatt "is not the first to run the North Western Railway. He follows his father and grandfather".
- Grandfather Hatt's CGI model was created by Nitrogen Studios modifying the standard Sir Topham Hatt model, namely using a longer coat, adding hair to the back of his head, changing the colors of his waistcoat and trousers, and adding a colored hat band on his top hat where Sir Topham Hatt's own was plain black.
