Biography
Victor was retired and having been withdrawn from service, he was nearly scrapped. However, he was later discovered and restored into a children's playground. James was responsible for him when he was on a flatbed. However, James later accidentally lost him and found him in the playground. Victor now sits in a park and enjoys the company of children around him.
Personality
Victor appeared to be a very grumpy engine and would not talk to anyone until it was revealed that he was sure he was going to be scrapped. After settling down in a children's playground this demeanour changed and now he is a very cheerful engine.
Technical Details
Basis
