S.C. Ruffey (T&F)/Behind the Scenes

In the Television Series
In 1995, S.C. Ruffey was introduced in the fourth series of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. In The Railway Series, S.C. Ruffey's face was dark brown, but in the television series he has a grey face to match the other vehicles.

S.C. Ruffey reprised his role in The Railway Series in his debut. However, after he was pulled apart by Oliver, he had a rebuild at the end of the episode instead of being scrapped.

S.C. Ruffey would later be seen in a promotional image for the fifth series episode Horrid Lorry, but did not feature in the episode itself. He has not made any appearances in the television series whatsoever since 1998.

Gauge 1 models
S.C. Ruffey was custom built from a Tenmille Gauge 1 RHC 1926 7-plank truck kit. The words "S.C. RUFFEY & Co. BALLAST CONTRACTORS TIDMOUTH SODOR " were hand painted. Two models of S.C. Ruffey were made, the first model was repainted from a regular truck, the second was modified to collapse when he was pulled apart by Oliver.
