-Bio: Den, along with his assistant and best friend Dart, are two maintenance diesels from British Railways that became part of Sodor during the battle against the Diesel Brotherhood to save the Northwestern Railway from being modernized. Both he and Dart are now part of the maintenance team along with Marlin, Harvey, and Victor, and are masters at their craft, especially as a duo. Den is the kinder and the older of the duo, always professional and happy to help an engine in need, but he can be quite slow, especially in his speech as he struggles to think of what to say, prompting Dart to explain for him. Despite being to slow to think or speak, and can chuckle when an engine gets their comeuppance, he's still a valuable member to the maintenance team and the NWR fleet as a whole. He's still very trustworthy, versatile, and loyal, and well-respected by both steam and fellow diesels on the island, and there's never a problem he or Dart couldn't fix.

-Artist’s Commentary: So here's Den, whom I was hoping to upload after DOTD, but that movie's almost finished anyway, but regardless, at least I got him now. Now I haven't made Dart yet, shame as he's my favorite of the duo, he'll be up soon, especially as I stated, is a Class 02 in my head-canon, and I'm looking forward to showing him. Now I didn't think I needed Den & Dart in my series, but, and spoiler alert, not only will they become part of Sodor, but their numbers are now D6 & D7, but just wait till the last part of DOTD comes out and you'll see. Even so, I do like Den & Dart, as whilst not the most impactful characters in Thomas, they are fun characters, and at least they're not Class 08's, LOL! Den is quite interesting as he does mean well and always works hard in maintenance, can be snarky at times and slow to think, which I can relate to myself. He and Dart are more friendlier and more good natured than in the actual series, but Dart is still just as grumpy, but we'll get to him later. I haven't got much to say, but Den has a unique basis, and I like how he's got this supportive and loyal doctor mentality but a slow thinker. I hope you enjoy!
