Intro. James is a red mixed-traffic tender engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor, and is the North Western Railway's number 5 engine. James' ego gets him in trouble. When he tried to switch his job of pulling trucks with Gordon's express train, he tricked Thomas into giving him the express coaches by telling him that the Fat Controller ordered him to take the coaches. However, the Fat Controller heard about James' tricks from Gordon and his driver and punished him by leaving him in the shed until he learned his lesson. The following day, he was allowed out to shunt trucks but also got the chance to redeem himself when an inspector requested to ride with James to the Fat Controller. They arrived on time and the Fat Controller considered James a really useful engine.
