- “Toot toot!”
- ―Chatsworth's catchphrase
Chatsworth is a white diesel chugger who was introduced in the first season.
Biography
Chatsworth was initially a trainee with Harrison; the two generally perform the same jobs and still sleep next to each other at the Roundhouses.
While pulling a train of hopper cars down the mountain, Chatsworth's rear car's wheels jammed, subsequently setting it on fire. luckily, Brewster was able to put the fire out. Chatsworth, along with many other chuggers commemorated Brewster for his heroism. Some time later, in preparation for an ice storm, Chatsworth was assigned with spraying the Spur Line with anti-ice to keep the tracks warm; Koko, who had accidentally sprayed the line with water (which would cause the tracks to freeze up), told Chatsworth that it had already been dealt with. Emery, who was taking Eddie back to the Depot, became stranded on the line due to the frozen tracks; thankfully, the two would be rescued by Calley.
Chatsworth would go on to host one of the annual rolling stock shows. He was also recruited in assisting Brewster with moving the demolisher for the Chuggineers, but broke down along the way to retrieve it.
Chatsworth would additionally assist Action Chugger's film crew in bringing props to the film set; after becoming stranded in a tunnel due to a tall rocket prop, he would be rescued by the trainees during their day off. Chatsworth was also one of the many chuggers affected by the mass diesel shortage caused by extreme ice levels.
Personality
While good at heart, Chatsworth can often feel stressed out, which can lead to him feeling very lonely. He will often get himself into a bit of a state, with him concluding that it simply isn't his day. In this state, he is also prone to overreacting to things and sometimes even straight-out panicking. Chatsworth can often look down upon trainees, but they can also take advantage of him, with Chatsworth not bothering to care. Even if he does feel stressed out a lot, most chuggers are usually happy to work things out.
As previously mentioned, Chatsworth is good at heart. He is always happy to make everyday deliveries (even if he often feels very tired) and will usually help chuggers in bad situations. He would rather fail than cheat, even if something calls for it. Chatsworth hates letting other chuggers down, and his commitment to his work is one worth reckoning. Also, due to knowing him for most of his life, Chatsworth is seemingly the only chugger capable of combating Harrison's self-centered attitude. In all, while he can be rather stressed out a lot of the time, at his best, Chatsworth is a great chugger who is usually happy to help.
Technical Details
Basis
Chatsworth is based on a Baldwin RF-16, a 1,600-horsepower (1,200 kW) cab unit-type diesel locomotive built for freight service by the Baldwin Locomotive Works between 1950 and 1953. The RF-16s were also known as the "sharknose locomotives" due to body design of their front cabs.
Livery
Chatsworth is painted white, with red and silver corrugated lining. His portholes, window, and vent frames are painted red.
