"If you were me, you'd be bad tempered too."
― Victor to James[src]

Victor is an old blue tank engine.

Biography

When he first arrived on Sodor, Victor was collected from the harbour by James, sure that he was bound for scrap. James later dropped him off on a siding, and the following morning he was gone. The engines initially assumed he had been scrapped, until a week later when Henry mentioned that the playground had new equipment that looked like a real engine, which turned out to be a much happier Victor.

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

Victor has no particular known basis and is a freelance design.

Livery

Victor is painted blue with red lining and grey wheels. His dome as well as both the cap and base of his funnel are brass.

Appearances

Magazine Stories

He later appeared in Issue 482 (29 March 2006) in an activity. He is not named and referred to as The Old Engine.

Trivia

  • All illustrations show Victor with a second side rod connecting to his front wheels at an angle. This arrangement would not function on a real engine. It is possible that this was supposed to represent his piston rod, and that his cylinders have already been removed.
  • Victor's eventual fate is based on how some steam engines that were decommissioned were turned into playground equipment.
  • Victor is mentioned in Dusty's Character Song at the Thomas Land (UK) Big Blue Birthday Bash show.[1]
