This either the worst way or best way to bring back Jr and Mr C into the show
I think it would be funny if they were the likes of the devil and the angel on the engine's shoulder. Expect that Jr isn't evil he just unintentionally keeps giving the engines terrible advice.

[1967]
At last, Douglas could tell the others his news. He marched onto the turntable, and told the other engines Oliver’s story. The engines were amazed, but at the same time, apprehensive.
“You got an engine - bound for scrap - all the way here?” Almond gaped, awestruck.
“Well he’s not out of the woods yet.” Duck cautioned.
“Aye,” Douglas interrupted. “I’m feared some murderin’ diesel fra the ither railway’ll come ‘n’ snatch ‘im up, without even the steam tae whistle fer help-”
“Which is why Sir Topham Hatt has to know.” James cut in.
“As taxing as this may be, Douglas,” Gordon began, carefully, “I believe it falls on you to tell him.”
“Is it me speakin’ to the Fat Controller? It’s forward he’d think me, an’ mebbe interferrin’, an we know how he-”
“Well, here he is!” A cheerful, yet commanding voice boomed. “Now what’s this all about?”

Holding out my hands for any Charlie Sand HCs you got !! You draw him sooo silly.
The silly men!! you get the bonus of having a few hcs for the stoker as well ;)
Charlie Sands:
“Never you mind about Johnny!” laughed the driver, “Just you climb on the cab and look for Thomas!”
- One of the NWR’s longest working railwaymen, has been around since it’s beginnings. Chill and stern, kinda under reacts sometimes but it’s cool. Level headed and can crack jokes in a lot of situations, a quick thinker and adept at adapting to odd situations.
- Lived on Sodor for all his life, very well versed into it’s ins and outs and is usually seen as one of the mentors for new workers.
- Before becoming Edward’s Driver he was Lady’s fireman before graduating to the driver position to help Edward adjust to being on Sodor with the power of his chill attitude. Charlie has been a crew member on other engines though!
Sidney Holloman (Hever):
“Oh dear what can the matter be?” singed the fireman.
- Comparatively a little more new to the Railway, Edward went through one other fireman before Sidney dropped in. Sharp and snarky, doesn’t sugarcoat his words and blunt mouthed, has a bit of an eye for mechanics.
- Used to live in Barrow-in-Furness before moving to Sodor by stowing away on a cargo boat that was heading to Sodor, first worked as Thomas’ fireman before being moved to become Edward’s. Has a bit of a criminal background but he tries to hide that.
- Passionate singer, wanted to be a musician when he was younger.

“Driver?”, Edward called.
“Yes, Edward?”, his driver replied.
“What are these white patches on my face?”, he asked. “I remember seeing this on a passenger a long time ago, but I never really knew what they were.”
“I think you have vitiligo”, the driver answered, starting to become a bit nervous, thinking that Edward didn't like how he looked. “It’s a rare skin condition that causes white patches to appear on someone's face. I know it might look... disturbing at first but–”
“Why would you ever say that?”, smiled Edward. He caressed his face as he gazed at his reflection in the hand mirror. “In my opinion, they look rather lovely! Don't you think?”

Hi everyone! Have HFOD! Edward! His design was inspired by: @fraiserabbit , @bruhstation , @theflyingkipper , @oldirontender , @humanoid-au , @putuponpercy , and @hkpika07 !
Here's some facts about him:
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) Edward has a terrible habit of trying to cope with everything by himself.
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) Edward, as joked by everyone, has 8 children: Thomas, Percy, Bill, Ben, Lady, Neville, Charlie and Phillip.
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) Emily is one of Edward's old friends (yes that means she used to work in Barrow-In-Furness)
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) As told by Emily, in her and Edward's younger days, he was as stubborn as Gordon, and as cheeky as Thomas. This made him rather maddening at times, but he was also quite the charmer. Edward never told the engines this and doesn't like talking about it. He cringes so hard at it.
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) He and Thomas share a similar “cheeky face” :]
(IN MAIN AND HFOD AU) Edward helped Percy become more clever and confident after Duck’s arrival. Along with this, he helped Percy figure out his Auditory Processing Disorder. This shows in Thomas And The Magic Railroad Edward And The Magic Railway.
(IN MAIN AU) Lets just say his patience ran thin after Mattel created “All Engines Go”.
(IN HFOD AU) He couldn't see without his glasses when he turned human(oid). Yeah they aren’t reading glasses.
(IN MAIN AU) Edward has no record of going on strike. Except...
(IN HFOD AU) His hair is the most grayed out of the main 8. And he has 2 streaks of really white hair. He forms the “White Streak Trio” with Henry and Gordon.
------------------------------------------------
Well, there you have it! And, one last thing, to any of you who have vitiligo;
Don’t feel ashamed of it. If Edward thinks it’s beautiful, so should you ❤️
