Willie is an idle farmer and tractor driver, who lives near the Arlesdale Railway.
Biography[]
Once, he was riding his tractor on his field and Mike whistled at him, causing him to jump up.
One day, he was meant to deliver the last load of wool for Rex's train, but was running late. The Thin Clergyman noticed that Willie's load was not secured, but he didn't want to stop because he wanted to catch up to Rex. Willie got his wish sooner than expected, as the trailer of wool tumbled down to the railway line. He warned Rex about it, but was too late and Rex hit the load, derailing. Willie apologised to Rex for the incident and helped to clean up the mess and reload Rex's trucks.
Willie was later seen at Farmer Trotter's Pig Farm when James was sent there to collect several animals.
When Rex, Mike and Bert disappeared to go to a railway show at Ulfstead Castle, Willie was one of several people who questioned Fergus Duncan about their whereabouts, as Rex was three hours late to pick up the wool.
