Gator

Gerald, known by his nickname Gator, is a large two-toned engine who has a large sloping boiler that makes him look like an alligator.

Bio
Gator once visited Sodor. He was taking some trucks to Brendam Docks. It was foggy out and because nobody had seen him before, they thought he was a monster. Gator then told them that he was waiting for his ship to come in. During this time he told Percy about how to be brave. One night, he collected some trucks from Oliver, who had broken down on Duck's Branch Line. But his lamp kept on going out, which caused him to scare James and argue with Toad. When they came to a junction, Gator became so upset with Toad that he left him behind. But after realizing Toad had been right about everything, he went back to get him. Toad soon solved Gator's problem by letting him borrow one of his lamps to see the way to the Docks, and the two became good friends. The next night, as he was being loaded onto his ship, he saw Percy on the ship. Percy explained to Gator that he wanted to work somewhere else far away from his fears, but Gator told him that runing away dosen't make you brave. When Thomas thought Percy was on Gator's ship, he told Cranky to stop it, only to discover that Percy wasn't on the ship, and getting Gator's ship delayed again. The next evening, Percy came to Brendam Docks in time to say good bye to Gator as he left Sodor to his homeland.

A long time after that, Percy missed Gator so much that he came to Brendam Docks everyday to see if he was back. Cranky told Percy to keep himself busy so that he won't about him. In the end, it was Gator's wise words that helped him rescue his trucks. Now thinking about Gator makes him happy to.

Gator later came back to Sodor for Christmas. He was looking forward to seeing Percy and vice-versa. But the two kept missing each other because Gator kept bringing his rock salt delivery to the wrong place. Percy eventually met up with Gator at Brendam Docks, only to get him covered in rock salt.
