After being inspired by many a people on here, I've decided to go ahead and draw Thomas' crew for my AU "STEEL HEARTS!

So here they are!

NICHOLAS SMITH:

Nick Smith is Thomas’ Driver, and has been his only driver ever since they worked in a Steelworks near Brighton. Nick had… Traveled (in the safest terms) with Thomas and their Firewoman to Sodor together, arriving on the island unannounced, But putting together their case to stay on the railway to work for The Fat Controller. 

Nick is very smart and resourceful. He makes sure that his engine's timetable is kept and fulfilled, and that things are kept under control (To the best of his abilities). Nick can also be very grumpy at times. Whenever anything makes them late, he’s usually the first you’d hear from. Nick is very punctual! But also very opinionated. He is extremely protective over his engine, and although his attitude along with his firewomans can get a bit overwhelming at times, there is nothing that he wouldn’t do for them… Even if it means bending the rules of railway practices to get out of a very tight pickle. 

REBECCA COLLYMORE:

Becky Collymore is Thomas’ Firewoman. Like their driver, Nick, Becky has been with Thomas ever since his days in Brighton. It was her that suggested they find work on Sodor, and was the navigator of the whole trip. 

Unlike Nick, Becky is very tough and jokeful. She always finds time to have fun with her engine and get a good laugh out of something. Sometimes this can lead to Thomas adapting some rather dangerous Ideas. Becky also has a tendency to act before she thinks, which, although Nick would never admit it, has saved their butts more times than once. Becky is OVER PROTECTIVE of her engine. He is her pride and joy. She refuses to man anyone elses engine because of this. Becky refuses to depart from Sodor nor her engine. She is currently engaged with another one of the engine drivers on the Island. And this has even further solidified her choice in staying.
