The "Man in the Hills" is a tall man dressed in white who lives in the hills of Sodor. According to Sir Handel, no one has ever seen him. However, a chalk figure of him holding a walking stick is drawn on a hillside next to the Skarloey Railway. Thomas wanted to show the figure as a birthday gift for Mr. Percival's birthday.

The chalk drawing is located at Green Hills Junction.

Trivia
