Daisy Bucket (pronounced as Bouquet) is a diesel rail-car, who arrived to run commuter trains on the main line and help out on the Ffarquhar Branch during busy tourist seasons.

Biography[]

Daisy arrived on Sodor in 1964 under dieselisation. She made a bad impression on the steam engines due to her snobby nature and this was made worse by Francis influencing her. After she had a run-in with a bull and helped James and Derek to the Works after they had broken down, Sir Topham Hatt decided to give her another chance.

Persona[]

When Daisy first arrived, she was snobby and conceited. When Francis was on Sodor, she followed his lead. While she was good at doing her job, she was quite rude to the steam engines, especially to Derek, a failed diesel. Thanks to advice from Bruce, she learned to respect steam engines, stood up for Derek and even learned from Toby how to handle livestock on the rails.

Although she is boastful and very prideful about her commuter services, she always takes the time to be a positive role-model around others.

Livery[]

Daisy is painted in light green and yellow linings. She supposedly wears makeup, including eyelashes, red lipstick, blush and blue eye shadow, but according to her, this was actually painted on for a promotional event.

Basis[]

Daisy'sprototype

Daisy is based on the BR/Metro-Cammell Class 101/102 DMU. She is, however, a single railcar instead of the traditional two to four-piece units. These were one of the longest serving class of "First Generation" DMUs, with its service life of 47 years only being replaced by the Class 121. A total of 41 cars are preserved.

Trivia[]

  • Daisy had another model in Prologue.
  • Daisy is Victor Tanzig's least favorite character.
  • As revealed in Matriarchy, Daisy's full name is Daisy Bucket (possibly pronounced "bouquet"). This is a possible nod to Hyacinth Bucket, the main character of the British sitcom, Keeping Up Appearances, whom ironically enough, has a sister named Daisy.
