Smudger (BillyReynolds)

Smudger was a narrow gauge tank engine who worked on the Mid Sodor Railway. He was later turned into a generator.

Biography
According to Duke, Smudger was a show-off who rode roughly and often came off the rails. Duke tried to warn him to be careful, but Smudger refused to listen to his advice. He was finally punished by being turned into a generator and being put behind the engine shed.

In 1928, Smudger was removed for the workmen to rebuild the generator into a pumping engine for Stanley. After Stanley was turned into a pumping engine, Smudger was taken away and was scrapped.

In 1998, when Duncan was being careless, Sir Handel and Peter Sam tried telling him the story of Smudger.

Personality
Smudger was a complete show-off and often derailed, but refused to listen to advice. Duke warned him to be careful, but he took no notice until he was put in his place by being turned into a generator.

Basis
Smudger is based off of the Talyllyn Railway's Dolgoch, a Fletcher Jennings Class Bb 0-4-0WT. Rheneas, Jennings and Taj (original version) share the same basis.

Livery
Smudger was painted dark green with black lining. He had black and brass name and number plates on the sides of his boiler and coal bunkers respectively.
