S.C. Ruffey (T&F)

S.C. Ruffey (affectionately known and pronounced as "Scruffey") is a cruel Troublesome Truck who is the ringleader of the other Troublesome Trucks.

Biography
S.C. Ruffey reprises his role from the Railway Series. However, after his incident with Oliver, he was rebuilt and wisely did not disclose the real reason for his damage.

The Official Website stated that S.C. Ruffey is an old and experienced ring-leader. It also stated that he still works in Oliver's yard and that prior to his incident, he helped push Oliver down the turntable well.

Personality
S.C. Ruffey was known to be an insufferable and ruthless advocate for bad behaviour of the trucks to the engines of the Little Western. However, his antics would eventually lead to him being pulled apart by Oliver, quite literally. After being rebuilt he has learned his lesson and says little or nothing at all at least when it came to his accident.

Basis
S.C. Ruffey is based on a 7-plank open wagon.

Livery
S.C. Ruffey is painted dark brown-grey with the words "S.C. RUFFEY & Co. BALLAST CONTRACTORS TIDMOUTH SODOR" painted on his sides in white. Prior to his rebuild, he had rusty orange metalwork.

Trivia

 * According to Spencer in a magazine story, S.C. stands for 'Special Carriage'.
 * Some TrackMaster toys of Duck were seen with a plain grey truck with a brown-orange chassis. This seems to represent S.C. Ruffey, but it may also have been a prototype.
 * S.C. Ruffey's television series model was made out of a modified Tenmille vacuformed gauge 1 7-plank open wagon. It was actually recycled from another truck model.
 * He is the only known Troublesome Truck to have been rebuilt.
 * Capsule Plarail has produced S.C. Ruffey so he can be either fully intact or split apart like in the fourth series episode, Toad Stands By.
 * Motor Road and Rail is the only merchandise range to make S.C. Ruffey in his post-rebuild livery alongside his original colour scheme.
 * In the fifth series episode, Put Upon Percy, the front truck of the train in the mine has S.C. Ruffey's happy face, and later his scared face. His face was also seen on another truck in the fifth series episode, Double Teething Troubles.
 * Concept art for the fifth series episode, A Surprise for Percy, also depicted the lead truck with S.C.Ruffey's face, but in the final episode a standard truck face was used.
 * S.C. Ruffey is one of the few trucks to be named, along with Fred Pelhay, Old Bennett, Hector, and Lei.
