Splatter

Splatter was a diesel shunter, along with his brother Dodge, who used to work for Diesel 10. Diesel 10 referred to the two as "Splodge", they hated it.

Both engines are simple-minded, awkward, cowardly and tend to banter. Splatter is the more talkative of the two, while Dodge is more intelligent. Although Percy fears them, they do not have the intelligence or villainy to match Diesel 10's. They enjoy watching Diesel 10's plans backfire, but are also prone to making a mess of things. Despite initially siding with Diesel 10, they seem reluctant to destroy a fellow engine, even a steam engine, and eventually abandon Diesel 10 in the end.

The two eventually grew tired of Diesel 10, soon they refused to follow him and told him to do his own dirty work. They soon returned to the Mainland. A few months later Sir Topham Hatt bought them.

In 2016 Splatter was set to work apart from Dodge. Splatter was sent to work in the quarry, and Dodge did odd jobs on the main line. Splatter and Dodge caused many accidents in their new environments.

Splatter and Dodge are two BR Class 08 diesel-electric shunters. 996 of them were built! Splatter is painted purple and grey while Dodge is painted dark green and grey. Both have their names painted on their sides in white.
