James

Personality
James is very proud of himself and his paintwork. He dislikes pulling trucks and believes that he should only pull coaches.

James thinks himself to be superior to others and can be shallow, boastful, overconfident and vain, particularly to those who appear old-fashioned, weak, slow or dirty. This has caused him to have somewhat of a rivalry with Edward, Percy, Toby and Duck. However, on a number of occasions, he has found himself in need of help from those he insulted and is, in the end, apologetic. Even before he was painted red, he was rather boastful, but not about his paintwork.

Since the seventeenth season, James has also been portrayed as a prankster, often tricking or scaring other engines for fun or to get out of jobs he doesn't want to do. Following a particularly mean-spirited prank he played on Percy in Tale of the Brave, this gimmick seems to have died down.

Despite everything else, James has shown a caring side, is normally hard-working and like every other engine, James wants to be a responsible, reliable and really useful engine.
