Boulder

"Because of a big boulder. I think it's watching me." "How can it be? Boulders don't have eyes." "That's as may be Percy, but/Well Percy, there's something strange about this one."

- Rusty and Percy

Boulder is a giant mysterious boulder who lives up high in the mountains of Sodor.

Biography
Its home was found by the Skarloey Railway, who then preceded to build a quarry on the cliff-side below it. Rusty was suspicious of it and thought that it may have been watching from down below. Later, the drilling into the mountain by Thumper caused vibrations that shook Boulder loose from its perch and sent him down onto the tracks, creating a path of destruction along the Skarloey Railway, finally stopping by destroying the standard gauge sheds. After this, Sir Topham Hatt closed the quarry and had Boulder moved to a new mountain, close by the yards. It still stands there to this day. Rusty is sure that, on a clear night, it is gazing high up at the mountains in the distance and that its sighs are being carried on to the wind where it once used to stand, proud and silent.

Boulder is perfectly spherical and has moss clinging to him in some places. A mysterious face sometimes appears on it.

Personality
Boulder's personality is described as proud and silent. He is extremely vengeful and easily angered; the construction of the new quarry below him infuriated him to the point where he went on a destructive rampage that ultimately forced the quarry’s closure.

Trivia

 * Boulder's face is based on Gordon's frowning face.
 * It is never explicitly revealed whether Boulder is sentient or not, although the former is heavily implied.
 * Boulder had a replica built for display at the Hara Model Railway Museum. This can be proven by the differences in the ridges between the replica and the official prop.
