Personality
James can be a snob, and thinks his red color is better than that of Thomas' blue or Henry's green. He doesn't take well to getting dirty, and will sometimes demand he gets cleaned immediately. He thinks he's grander than engines who are elder and slower than him, and most importantly, not red. He loves taking passengers, and hates taking goods, especially coal and garbage cars. James has had problems with engines such as Thomas, Edward, Duck and Diesel, due to his (but sometimes their) actions. Sometimes he thinks he's too splendid for certain jobs, and only is suited for high falutin' work for the noble creature that he is. Invariably, these illusions land him into trouble. However, he is a good friend and a fine lad who learns from his mistakes.
