Joseph

Joseph is a Lego OC diesel engine who rarely appears in the SC Shorts. He formerly worked on Sodor but was later transferred to the Mainland sometime in 2019.

Biography
Joseph made his debut appearance in "The Gay Race" where he was racing against James, Toby, Spencer, Lightning McQueen, and 451. He immediately lost the race in under 30 seconds by falling apart and ended up getting in last place in the race. Later on in "This Has Nothing to do With Halloween" he as well as the rest of the "Thomas In America" cast came to battle the multiple shows on Sammy Clark's channels' characters. It was later revealed in the episode that Joseph was originally made from parts from both Jake and Billy Shoepack.

Joseph was rarely used in the SC Shorts sometime after "Thomas's Epic Thanksgiving Special" due to Sammy acquiring more Thomas characters. This case is the reason why Joseph appeared in none of the episodes from 2019 (albeit stock footage in "The One Year Anniversary Crash Supercut"). However in 2020, he started getting used again in the SC Shorts, but only as a minor background character. He cameoed in "Roasting Thomas" as one of the engines in the crowd and then later appeared in "Sodor's Finest Hour" pulling cars from inside of the mine. He finally gained a speaking role since 2018 in the episode, "Roly's Visit" where he was seen bringing over Roly to Annie and Clarabel.

Personality
Other than being another nice and silly character, Joseph has no personality. He's bland and pathetic.
