Officially, his name is Diesel. In supporting material, the Awdrys would call him Diesel 2 to distinguish him from Diesel 1 (from Duck and the Diesel Engine.) Britt Allcroft did this by calling him Class 40 on his nameboard, but told merchandise companies his name was The Diesel.

I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I love your editing style and use of sound effects, as well the information you are able to dig up about the props in the show.

I only just stumbled onto your channel in the last couple days and have been binge watching videos ever since. Its really nice to see a perspective on series that was a major highlight of my youth from a contemporary, adult perspective and also seeing all the love and passion put it into it. Really looking forward to diving in to more of your old videos and any new stuff you put out!

I would've like to see him in more seasons like a background model.

Thanks for uploading this on my birthday!

Class 40 was a very laid-back diesel, unlike most diesels which were often hostile and antagonistic to steam engines on the island. But still has the belief that steamers were outdated and needed to be scrapped. But if we see more of Class 40, he would eventually become a nicer diesel when he returned to the island, and help Gordon with the passengers after his incident of passing another station without stopping for him. Then he will be given a name called “Andy” like other engines, which had names on their own.

I also commissioned one of bowledout95’s Berties! I got mine season 3 styled and I agree with trainboy; this little bus is amazing, amazing, AMAZING!!!

40's always been an interesting character for me. As a kid I'd see him all the time in advertisements and the between-episode sequences, and thought he looked interesting. When I finally got to see Bowled Out in middle school and also found that this was his only appearance, I was a little disappointed as he had potential in my eyes. While he hasn't returned in canon (and hopefully doesn't considering where we are now 🙄), I think fans have done an outstanding job following up on 40's overall character.

I think Class 40 is a very underated character in both the RWS and TVS. They both had so much potential, but he only appeared in 1 book and 1 episode were he actually spoke (not accounting Rusty To The Rescue). As Trainboy said, there was the dynamic touched upon between him and Stepney, and the fandom has already created plenty of possibilities this could've gone in the show and books. I personally think that him, Diesel 10 and D199 would've been a perfect 3 way relationship of 3 big diesels who want to rid the island (and world) of outdated steam locomotives. In fact if I were to rewrite Magic Railroad I'd probably have 10, 99, 40, Splodge, George and Boomer as the villains. D199 and Class 40 would be friends and careful yet more skillful spies on the Steamies every movement, much to the jealously of Splatter and Dodge.

He is the reason why I am such a fan of the BR Class 40s today! He really was a special diesel character that I couldn't get enough of as a kid and still can't. And that is an impressive Season 1 Bertie! I should use of those to replace my Bachmann Bertie.

Him wearing his sad face is fitting considering he’s damned to stay Drayton Manor

Yes this class 40, spam can & Derek are my favorite characters in Thomas series. More stories should be built around them

I'm so glad I'm not the only one annoyed that most of the TV series diesels are class 08s, although my reasoning ties more into being annoyed about so many shunter diesels, particularly becuase they run on the mainline where the have no business running. Use proper mainline diesels for the job FFS. And while they're at it, bring electric locos to Sodor, as that would be really interesting to see.

Fully agree, Just the most laziest way to portray a BR Diesels. If the company didn't waste all their material or had been given permission to render other design; then maybe they could have brought back BoCo and even RWS diesels such as D199, Bear and most background diesels from RWS illustration like that one backward face Class 08 and D5701 in Escape or even the three diesels from Stepney the bluebell engine book.

I saw him in magazine stories that I saw on the fandom wiki where in one page he is with Diesel 10 and another one where he shows his good side.

I remember having a Class 40 wooden railway toy at my great-grandparents house and was so confused on who he was as out off all the VHS's I had none had the episode he appeared in and there was no name on the bottom. The only time I saw him was in one of the sing a long videos

Is it weird that I think he's handsome? I mean, not that the other engines are ugly or anything, but something about him specifically just comes across as handsome.

Nice variety you should do the trucks next especially season 1

I had an ERTL D199 (SpamCan) and I remember the first time watching Bowled out when I was 6 or 7 in 1995 and assuming Class 40 was the same character and being confused why they changed his face and color. A few years later the ERTL Class 40 (sold as simply "The Diesel") came out and then I realized they were different characters

I would love to see trainboy make a history video about the scraped engines/rolling stock also him making his own 2nd episode of mad bomber

The CO in his wheel arrangement is the same meaning as the CO in Boco's name. The 1 is the pony truck, CO being a bogey of 3 powered axles, CO again then the 1 for the pony truck for the other end. Boco is BO which is two powered axles in the bogey. :D

I am curious about the faces of Class 40 used in the episode Bowled Out. I've just rewatched the ep and there is 1 face used which I am unsure about which one it is (if that sentence makes any sense!). It is just after the Diesel stops and is pushed back by Duck and Stepney into his shed. His face is hidden behind Duck, though I cannot tell whether it is Face 4 or whether it could be Face 5. It looks like it has red cheeks too, as if he was furious. Dunno whether it is even a 6th unaccounted face.

That Adult Swim intro was awesome!

Bertie looks amazing.

Thanks to Leokim's old Mad Bomber video, I keep calling this engine "Andy" or "Andy Diesel" in my head whenever I see him.

The TCC REALLY did his character justice!

The big diesels' faces in The Railway Series were yellow or green (BoCo) because they were embedded onto their ends. The steam engines and smaller diesels (Diesel, Rusty, Mavis, Frank) had grey faces because it would look weird and wouldn't be practical to have an embedded face on a smokebox or, for the diesels' case, on their front grilles (how that even be possible?) That being said, Toby has always had a grey face in The Railway Series, yet his face is not where his smokebox is. For the TV series, my guess is that they had the grey face-masks because they would look weird or disorienting in yellow. My guess is that Annie and Clarabel have always had embedded faces because they didn't use the moving eye mechanism for them; but then again, neither do the troublesome trucks but they have grey faces from Series 2 onwards. Probably because they are easier to make and fix on. Also, I don't like Class 40's TV series model. The body is too low and out of scale in comparison to its real life counterpart. You can see that when he is moving up to the coaches in Bowled Out.

Clash 40 is one of my favorite Diesel characters, if Diesel 10 not existed I think that Class 40 should’ve been the main villain in Thomas and the magic railroad

As kids, me and my brothers would always call Bowler 'Diesel Surveyedtheshed', because we didn't know what 'surveyed' meant, and thought it was some kind of naming title, or something

the fact that gold rail box has shining time logo shows how old it is

I found Class 40 to be an interesting character but very underused. It also amazed me that he had a nameboard that was only used one time on the Cranky Bugs video release. You'd think that his nameboard would have been used in Thomas and the Special Letter, like maybe appearing after Sir Handle, but nope. His nameboard went unused until at that point. Both Class 40 himself and his nameboard were very underused. It's quite sad really/

why do i feel like the intro to your newer videos are inspired by something from adult swim

Class 40 cameos very briefly in Rusty to the Rescue

I personally don’t think that he’s an evil diesel, but more of a misguided one. When he says “Not bad, I’ve seen worse, at least you’re all clean.” He isn’t saying that to be rude, he’s saying it because it’s true. He’s only seen steam engines very dirty. It’s like when a baby says something insensitive. It’s not that they’re trying to be rude, they just don’t know any better.
