Flynn

Flynn is a multi-terain fire engine who works at the Rescue Center.

Biography
Flynn worked with Belle on the Mainland before they came to Sodor. Belle suggested to the Sir Topham Hatt that Flynn be brought to Sodor to help her fight fires. Flynn had instantly become popular with the engines on Sodor. He's saved Thomas, Kevin, Mavis and restored the diesel works. Despite this, he was criticised by Diesel for "just standing around looking fancy". When his road wheels were repared, he found himself wobbling all over the place, so he returned to the rails. After a rescue, he regained his confidence in using the roads and was able to help Bertie and Butch. Later, some inspectors questioned whether Sir Topham Hatt really needed two fire engines. Since Belle beat him to two emergencies in a row, Flynn decided that he was not useful while Belle kept guard at a fireworks display at Ulfstead Castle. In the night, he put out a fire and his confidince was rerestored. When the team was sent to save a stranded whale, Flynn and Belle sprayed water to keep it wet and Harold came to lift him back onto the rails. Later, he and the rest of the team initially believed they could individually get Rocky back on rails on there own, but soon agreed to work together and Rocky was soon back on the tracks. Duting the summer, the boiling summer weather causes extra fires, which caused Belle to ignore Flynn's suggestion to pour water on the rails to prevent further buckling. This decision came back to bite her, as she later derailed on the buckled tracks while they were responding to an emergency. While he offered to help her, Belle urged him to continue on to the fire, which he was able to successfully extinguish.

Personality
Flynn is a "really red fire engine" who fights fires on Sodor and is part of the Sodor Search and Rescue team. He is capable of running on roads and on rails. Flynn is fast, fearless, and ready to fight any fire. He is popular with the engines and held in high regard all over Sodor, but his overly-enthusiastic bravado can lead to not listening to instructions amidst his racing about and result in him making mistakes. He can also be self-conscious about maintaining his fire-fighting hero status. Flynn always has it in him to prove that he is always ready to rescue, and is a really useful hero.
