Rusty

Rusty is a narrow gauge diesel engine who does maintenance work and odd jobs on the Skarloey Railway.

Personality
Rusty is a trusty, tame, friendly little diesel. He is a dedicated worker, often maintaining the line, while understanding and respecting the importance of his duties. He also has a rather distinctive two-tone horn. Rusty is quick to remind others with regards to proper conduct, particularly Duncan, who was initially very suspicious of the little diesel. But despite their arguments they both seem to make amends in the end, because of how kind and tolerant Rusty is. He has a good working relationship with both Skarloey and Peter Sam in particular. Caring, calm, and quick-thinking, Rusty is modestly a credit to the Skarloey Railway.

In the newer television series, Rusty had an occasional habit of being impatient, careless, and prone to procrastination. From Blue Mountain Mystery onwards, he regained his original personality.
