Timothy "Big Tim" Timken is a diesel engine who lives at Kahlville Junction.

Biography[]

Big Tim first appeared broken down at Great Wolf Forest whilst Montana and his driver had to reverse back to collect some forgotten flatbeds for Gridinia Bay. The next episode, he arrived at Kahlville Sheds to tell Casey Jr that Sir Allen Featherington rewarded Casey with a trip to Boston for delivering all the mail the night before.

Personality[]

Timothy "Big Tim" Timken is one of the larger diesels on the Crotoonian Railways, and one of the few fitted with a big booster unit! Back in the 50's, Big Tim was the talk of the railyards and workshops in America! His revolutionary roller bearings, that prevented "Kid Friction" from creating a hot box, were a big help to mending problems with the rail cars and engines! Nowadays, they don't seem as special, but Big Tim doesn't mind nor seem too conceited about it. He's just happy to roll along his fine little rails, hauling loads of freight up and down the line. He's still got hints of the over-excitement and jovial attitude from his young days, but he's still a hard worker, and will be on hand to keep the freight of Crotoonia running on time no matter what.

Technical Details[]

Basis[]

Livery[]
