JD THOMAS FAN's Thomas & Friends Character Ideas

Theodore the Big Red American Engine
Theodore is a big red Union Pacific Challenger Class 4-6-6-4 engine with blue wheels, blue lining and a blue cowcatcher from America, who is Hank's big brother. He is so strong, he can pull over 100 trucks in one go without having an accident. He appears in the episode, "Big Brother Theodore". Thomas has to arrange his train, but Theodore gets called away, so Thomas decided to take his train. Unfortunately, the coupling between Thomas and the first truck breaks, and all 100 trucks derail into a really big heap. Thomas, his crew and the guard are alright though, but Thomas has to get help. He and Percy fetch Rocky, Jerome and Judy to clear up the mess. Hank and Theodore agree to help too. And most of the goods are undamaged, and 86 of the trucks are delivered safely to their destinations. Thomas, Percy, Hank and Theodore are now good friends.

Theodore is named after the title character in Theodore Tugboat. So it is possible, Hank could have some connection to Theodore's best friend, Hank. It is also noticeable that Hank's livery is blue with red wheels, lining and cowcatcher, while Theodore's is vice-versa.

Theodore is voiced by Sean Barrett in both dubs.
