James Hughes

James Hughes, usually called by his first name, and officially titled James the Red Engine, is a main character of Thomas' Equestrian Adventures.

Personality
James is very proud of his splendid red paintwork. He dislikes pulling trucks and believes that he should only pull coaches. He thinks himself superior to the others and can be shallow, boastful, overconfident, naughty, and vain, particularly to those who appear old-fashioned, weak, slow, or dirty. This has caused him to have somewhat of a rivalry with Edward, Percy, Toby and Duck. However, on a number of occasions, he has found himself in need of help from those whom he has insulted and is, in the end, apologetic. Even before he was repainted red he was rather boastful.

James was the last of the steam engines to retain a prejudice against diesels. However, after stalling on a cold day, he was rescued by the Works Diesel and James decided to admit that nothing was wrong with diesels, except mean ones.

Despite everything else, James has shown a caring side, is normally hard-working and like every other engine, wants to be responsible, reliable and really useful on Sir Topham Hatt's railway.

As of Engines in Equestria Part 1, he has a new personality: he is still vain, proud, and hard-working, but he is now more mature, and less shallow, boastful, overconfident, and naughty to others.

Shorts
In Professor Toothy, he wakes up to watch TV, when he meets a beaver named Toothy. Toothy keeps feeding him lamb chops when he takes on water and when he goes to sleep. The next day, he has a truck full of sugar prepared, when Toothy appears. James has enough of Toothy's rambling and shunts the truck of sugar at him, which causes Toothy's facial skin to melt, which makes him scream so loud, James realizes his mistake, but gets another lamb chop shoved into his mouth by the screaming Toothy.
