Description Simon is a friendly tender engine who works on the Kirk Ronan Branch Line on Sodor. He's been on Sodor more many years, at first running on the main line before moving to the Branch to work with fellow ex-Midland Railway colleagues Alex and Gwen.

Fun fact: Simon is the 'Red Engine' that tried to push Henry out of the tunnel.

You can read about him in the Sodor Island Forum's ERS Library, in the following books:
ERS 144- Simon the Midland Engine
ERS 161- Midland Railway Engines
ERS 173- Memories of the Midland Engines
ERS 180- Gwen the Dockyard Engine
ERS 185- Triumphant Engines

I personally prefer him being called Eagle or Winston. He is also James's older and mature brother.

Simon looks very nice and, once again, very realistic. Nice work 01Salty.

So THIS is how the ERS depicts the Red Engine...
Pfft, and those people thought "Eagle" was his name, despite that belonging to an Ivatt in the ERS with a similar livery.

So you're naming the red engine Simon, rather than Eagle or Winston.

He's not the one responsible for the character or his name. The writers of ERS are.
