Flynn

Flynn is a road-rail fire engine from The Island of Sodor and a tentatively scrapped character for the time being.

Personality

Flynn is a "really red fire engine" who fights fires and is part of the Crotoonian Fire and Rescue Squad. He has both tyres and flanged wheels, meaning that he is capable of running on roads and on rails. Flynn is fast, fearless, and ready to fight any fire. He is popular with the engines and held in high regard all over Crotoonia, but his overly-enthusiastic bravado can lead to not listening to instructions amidst his racing about and result in him making mistakes. He can also be self-conscious about maintaining his fire-fighting hero status. Nevertheless, Belle and the rest of the Crotoonia team are often there to support him and keep him on course. And, at the end of the day, Flynn always has it in him to prove that he is always ready to rescue, and is a real hero.

Trivia

• For the time being, he and Jackman are the only two characters to be considered for the Crotoonia Fire and Rescue Squad only to be most likely dropped from appearing on-screen.
  • Like Jackman, this is due to a lack of a model or unique role for him in the series as well as to maintain a gender balance in the squad.
