Edgar is a steam engine/diesel hybrid from the Other Railway who came to Sodor during a budget cut.
Bio[]
Edgar first came into service in 2000, and served the British Railways for 20 years before being purchased by Sir Topham Hatt. By that time, he was old and in need of an extensive overhaul. But because of the budget cuts that were happening at the time, this couldn't happen. This made Edgar very worried he would fall apart, but one evening Thomas toughed out the rain to bring his passengers home, earning Sir Topham Hatt a truckload of money. The budget skyrocketed, and Edgar was able to be repaired at Crewe. After this, he moved to Wellsworth and became one of the most hard-working diesel engines on the North Western Railway.
Personality[]
Edgar is very excitable and fairly bubbly, but he is also a bit paranoid. He sometimes overheats, but usually gets over it. He also has a bit of a short temper, as shown when talking to Big Mickey. He is also very proud to be a cross between a Steam engine and a Diesel. Sometimes he is also offended by other engines talking about how strange he is.
Trivia[]

- Edgar is related to Callie from Chuggington.
