Sidney

Sidney, nicknamed Sid, is very forgetful Class 08 diesel shunter on North Western Railway.

Biography
When Sidney first appeared, he was waiting for new wheels in Vicarstown Dieselworks. He waited for them for two years, so Percy gave him new wheels as a Christmas present. Later, he, Diesel, Den and Dart hid from Paxton, but he, along with Den and Dart started to think that the joke went too far. When Percy needed new wheels because of an accident, Sidney got a special job to collect new wheels from the docks. He was worried that he'll forget, so Thomas told him that he can sing a song: ''“Ha ha ha, he he he, a very special job for me! All the way to Brendam Docks, to fetch a very special box!” ''It was working, until he talked to Gordon, which resulted into Sidney forgetting the words of the song. He then goes to rubbish dump for boiler, and then to Animal Park for an elephant. He than finally realised that he forgot what his special job was, so he went to Knapford to ask Sir Topham Hatt what he had to do. He found a group of passengers complaining about their train to Brendam Docksbeing late. Thinking that this was his special, Sidney took them to Brendam Docks, where The Fat Controller is waiting for him. He reminds Sidney about his special, and Sidney takes the new wheels to Steamworks, where Percy waits the whole day for his wheels.
