Yaemon (Japanese: やえもん) is an elderly tank engine who works on the Crotoonian Seaside Railway.
Personality[]
An older, much more experienced engine, Yaemon tends to be grumpy, but has a heart of gold! He always works up and down the seaside branch in perfect time, and always tries to give as much advice as he can to the younger workers on the seaside team. He works alongside Oliver, Duck, Hoot and Toot on the Eastern and Western Seaside Lines.
