Trivia[]
- Fearless Freddie is considered by fans to be the TV Series counterpart to Ivo Hugh from The Railway Series books, as they are both #7 on the Skarloey Railway, the main difference being Fearless Freddie being exclusive to the TV Series and Ivo Hugh being exclusive to The Railway Series books. Both engines, however, have their own Wooden Railway model.
- Freddie has ruined the continuity of the Skarloey Railway’s history due to the fact that he supposedly has lived in the hills longer than Skarloey and Rheneas (to the point where he knows all the shortcuts of the various lines) yet he’s never been seen or mentioned prior to Season 10.
Theme[]
- Freddie's theme is the Skarloey Railway Theme, which he shares with Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel, Peter Sam, Rusty, Duncan, Duke, and Mighty Mac. Sometimes is the Season 9/12 Skarloey Railway Theme
