    So much for first impressions that Sir Handel gave the coaches. At least he knows better, just a bit thoe. Even so, that last illustration shows how much he admires Skarloey, knowing that Skarloey was finally about to get himself some much needed repairs.

    This was Skarloey at his finest, which begs the question. Why the H in season 7 to 12 did they turn him into a winey, timid, scaredy little child?

      Driver: We’ll need a bus now for the passengers!
      Skarloey: No! I’d be ashamed to have a bus take my passengers. I’ll get home or burst!
      That’s what Skarloey supposed to be, not the engine who’s afraid of the wharf or racing with a certain grey/black engine who claims he’s older on the railway.

      Seasons 7-12 Skarloey reminds of his personality back in the day (1860's).

    4:59 5:07 When I hear these quotes, I think of this: someone telling me that old-fashioned things from the 80s, 90s, 2000s (maybe even 50s and 60s) like pc laptops, vhs tapes and vcrs, record players, and old merchandises can’t be as useful as nowadays modern things, and I warmheartedly respond that they actually can if they’re preserved and overhauled and taking cared of as they deserve to be

      Who used to be excited, bouncy, rebellious, and silly in his youth as a new engine on the line when he came to Sodor on ship back in the mid-19th century. It's just amazing how much growth and development Skarloey phased when times passed and things he's seen changed.

      This was before Duke was invented by the author, so you can't blame SH for that.

      Sir Handel kind of forgot about Duke, so Peter Sam kept reminding him.

      He still does, it's just that he feels too worn out to keep on working the the point where he should just throw in the towel and forget all the work even happened to begin with. That's where his pessimism comes in during Little Old Twins.
