Visiting Engines

Devious Diesel is a solid black 0-6-0 Class 08 shunting diesel with a cold heart and an oily voice. He arrived on trial to help Duck with shunting work, and simply charmed the other engines. But Duck never trusted this diesel, and made him take some old trucks and the other trucks laughed at, which Diesel took as an insult and spread rumors about Duck and had him sent away, only to be found out a sent home by The Fat Controller. Diesel thinks all diesels are highly revolutionary, and continues to show up on Sodor when the workload is heavy, usually causing mischeif and despair.

The Flying Scotsman is a famous Doncaster A3 engine, and the only survivor of the type. He was the second engine to go 100 m/ph. Gordon was originally built as a test engine for the speedy giant but left to Sodor after the tests. It wasn't until Gordon was feeling depressed about the diesel takeover on the Other Railway that The Fat Controller called for Flying Scotsman to pay a visit to cheer him up. He stayed for a while and made an impression on most engines, though made Henry jealous as he has two tenders. Henry thought they were a sign of importance but there was a great distance between coaling depots and water towers so Flying Scotsman needed two. He got a big send off when he left

These are the visiting characters that starred in 2000's Thomas & The Magic Railroad.

Diesel 10 is an evil-minded, dasterdly Western Region B-B Warship diesel with an additional giant retractable claw atop his cab which he calls Pinchy, and often uses it to threathen the engines and scare them. He has only one thing on his mind - to eliminate steam engines on Sodor. Diesel 10 is known for being wicked and for hating Lady, as she powers all steam life. He also wants the Magic Railroad destroyed and dislikes Mr Conductor and Junior. He attempted to destroyed the engines and Lady, only to meet his demise and fell off a viaduct. He was later brought back after reforming a bit to work at the Smelters. Thomas overcame his fear of him and got Diesel 10 to help clear the track after a pile-up. Diesel 10's only weakness is sugar, in which if poured into his engine, he'd break down.

Splatter and Dodge are Diesel 10's idiotic henchmen. They are both BR Class 08 0-6-0 shunting diesels. Their only use is to give opinions on Diesel 10's thoughts, and often only point out the negatives. The two are afraid of Mr Conductor, and know what he can do to them if found out. Splatter and Dodge have a crude sense of humor, in which they laughed when Thomas was covered in sneezing powder, and when Diesel 10 was buried in coal soot. Diesel 10 calls them Splodge, a mixed name for the two in which he can "save time" whilst explaining plans. They often cause arguements amongst each other. Their fate after Diesel 10 fell off the bridge is unknown.

Lady is a magical 0-4-0 side tank engine. She is a beautiful maroon with gold trimming. She is owned by Burnett Stone, and at one time, Burnett's wife, Tasha. Tasha admired Lady greatly, but sadly never got to ride her. Lady is the power of the Magic Railroad, which lost its magic when P.T. Boomer crashed Lady, and Burnett found it difficult to make her work again. But Thomas clumsily helped her by bringing Sodor coal to Muffle Mountain (her shed is stored there), which started her fire and brought her back to life once more. Diesel 10 attempted to destroy her again but Thomas and a collapsing viaduct saved the day. She most likely returned to the Magic Railroad or Muffle Mountain, but Thomas once dreamed of her working with Rusty in the mountains. Her type is fictional, and was created by her voicer and movie's director, Britt Allcroft.
