Bio

Hector was being a pain for Bill and Ben when they were bringing him into the yard because he kept banging into the two. Hector, at first, was aggressive. He roared angrily at the engines to "Keep away!", giving Thomas a fright and scaring Rosie away. Thomas, determined to shunt him and having enough of the truck's behavior, accidentally pushed him off the line, and after being helped back onto the rails, Hector revealed he was intimidating so he wouldn't have to carry coal, being scared of doing so. Thomas showed him it was actually quite fun.

Later on, Hector helped James get through a snowstorm from Brendam Docks to Great Waterton after James ignored his previous advice and some of the other trucks got stuck in a snowdrift.

Persona

Hector used to be mean and aggressive, just to hide his fear of being filled with coal. Thanks to Thomas, he learnt that there was no need to be scared.

Basis

Hector is based on a Union Pacific #7801 hopper car with added buffers.

Livery

Hector is painted black with "HECTOR" painted on both sides in white.
