Bio
Scruff came to the Island to help Whiff at the Waste Dump. Thomas thought he needed to be clean to be Really Useful, but Scruff was scared of the water and soap, and hid away until Thomas realized he wanted to get dirty, and they delivered garbage to the Waste Dump. A little while later, his "scruncher" broke, and had to go to the Steamworks to have it fixed. Whiff stayed with him, leaving Gordon in charge of the Waste Dump.
Basis
Scruff is based on a Sentinel steam shunter.
Persona
Scruff is a grubby little chap, with a lime green boxy shape. He is more than content with "scrunching" and shunting rubbish trucks at Whiff's waste dump and has few other aspirations. He has been known to run in fear and hide away from things that he does not quite understand and can find having all the focus on him a little daunting. It seems, at times, that Scruff would rather be busily working in the background. However, he is cheerful to welcome engines to the waste dump and happy to have others join in with the "scrunching". He is notably, perhaps, one of the few engines on Sodor with little desire to be clean and presentable. Scruff's main motivator is being able to just get stuck in and knuckle down with his jobs.
Livery
Scruff is painted lime green with dark green stripes. He has gold name plates on either side of his tanks.
