James

Bio
"James is a medium-sized engine. His six driving wheels are not as big as Gordon's, and not as small as Thomas'. He has a fine scarlet coat and brass dome, and likes to think of himself as a really splendid engine. This can occasionally lead to high-faluting ideas about the sort of work suitable for such a noble creature; invariably, they land James in trouble."

Personality
James is usually vain and boastful, often heard saying, "I'm the brightest red engine on Sodor!" But James is also kind and friendly, and in the end, he helps his friends.
