The Fat Controller

The Fat Controller is the controller of the North Western Railway, and thusly, keeps an eye on all of the engines.

Thomas & Friends
Sir Topham Hatt is firm but funny and fair. He can be strict, but with a good reason, and he also shows a fatherly side to the engines. He is quite a strong character and will remind the engines that he is in charge if they start to rebel against his authority. He does not stand bullying and even though he is usually serious, he does enjoy a good jolly laugh. Despite his kindness and fairness, however, there are times where he scolds the engines for situations beyond their control.

Season 22: Reimagined
He will largely remain the same as the official series, but does have a mutual grudge against D199 (and James to some extent). Topham always tries to be fair to his engines, however, annoying they might be.

Behind the scenes
He shall be voiced by 89LittleWestern1011 in this series.
