Spamcan/D199

Diesel 199, nicknamed "Spamcan" is a quite horrid engine, often boasting that Diesel engines are superior to steam, much to the anger of the engines of Sodor. He is quite stubborn in his views, and even after being rescued by Henry, swears revenge on the latter for disgracing him. Anyone who disagrees with his views often ends up in trouble. This causes many engines to fear him, and for good reason.

The Railway Series
Diesel 199 was built in the early 1960s at Derby Works. In 1967, he came on trial to Sodor with another diesel engine, Diesel 7101. D199 soon made himself an enemy of the steam engines when he claimed that "steam engines spoil our image". Vulgar noises greeted this, until Duck and D7101 managed to shut up D199.

The next day, D199 ironically failed with a train of oil-tankers at a signal box, blocking the crossing. Henry, whose regulator had already jammed, came to help. However, after D7101's ejector leaked, making him unable to pull his passenger train, Henry was asked to help him as well. Henry, with some help from 7101, was still able to move and bravely pulled 199, the oil-tankers and the passengers to the next station. The Fat Controller was not impressed, and Diesel 199 was soon sent home in disgrace. However, his companion Diesel 7101 was given a second chance.

The Re-Imagined Series
He will largely adhere to his beliefs that Diesels are superior to Steam, and this causes him to get really angry really quickly, especially if someone tries to say that it is false.

Behind the scenes
He will be voiced by ThomasFan 2623 in this series, but his singing voice will be provided by Dougie Productions.
