“My favourite engine has to be Paxton the diesel. He may be a little rough around the edges but he's a kind and very funny diesel. He's a bit of a clown...just like me!”
― Ian McCue on Paxton, 2015 Licensing Source Book Interview

Trivia

  • Since he joined the voice cast, McCue has never voiced any major vehicle characters. As another note, most of his roles are in a duo with Rob Rackstraw.
  • On Kong Studio's website, McCue says relating to the Sodor Mystery shorts:
I am so proud of the work Kong and I did on the Sodor Mystery Shorts, and the viewing figures on YouTube confirm they are being well received and enjoyed by the target audience. The new look of Thomas & Friends takes us back in time to classic 2d animation in its design and movement. It’s a quality show, and I had no hesitation In Kong being able to deliver content that seamlessly matched the look and feel. Kong did an Abso-toot-ly fantastic job, and I can’t wait to have the opportunity to work with them again soon.
