Take Along Thomas & Friends - Murdoch

Product Information

In a SiF interview with Chris Lloyd, it was mentioned that Fergus' model was damaged during the filming of Bill, Ben and Fergus. His model still worked, but the flywheel could not turn anymore. This may explain why he never appeared after the seventh series. In Australia, this episode was released early on VHS and DVD before the seventh series aired on television so the Australian audience would not know who Arthur was, never mind Emily and Murdoch appearing as cameos. Series 15 - Gordon and Ferdinand ( cameo), Toby and Bash ( cameo), Percy's New Friends, Up, Up and Away! ( cameo), Henry's Happy Coal ( cameo), Surprise, Surprise ( cameo), Stop That Bus! ( does not speak) and Percy the Snowman ( cameo) According to the Thomas and Friends Writers' Bible, Fergus is suspicious of diesels, whom he considers “new fangled.” When Emily found herself stranded in muddy water, she sought Murdoch's assistance. As a peacemaker and problem solver, Murdoch guided Emily to safety by suggesting an alternative route through the valley. His wisdom and caring nature earned him the admiration and respect of the other engines. Braving the Noisy Sheep

Series 19 - Who's Geoffrey?, The Truth About Toby ( cameo), A Cranky Christmas, Toad and the Whale, Salty All at Sea, The Little Engine Who Raced Ahead ( cameo), Diesel's Ghostly Christmas, The Other Side of the Mountain ( cameo) and No Help at All Item No. 7" was "1 bin" of "Autumn leaves" for "Sc No 1". The set is given as "montage", and the "Shoot Date" is given as 15th December 2003. Series 10 - Toby's Afternoon Off, Seeing the Sights ( cameo), Edward Strikes Out ( cameo) and Thomas and the Treasure ( cameo) The title used in the Welsh dub is the same title used in the Welsh dub of the fifth series episode, Something in the Air. Throughout his adventures, Murdoch encountered various challenges, from herding noisy sheep on the line to assisting Emily when she became stranded in muddy water. Each experience showcased his reliability and willingness to help others.Neville is gentlemanly, highly enthusiastic and kind, if a little naive. Neville never holds a grudge, but can be easily hurt by unkind comments or not being accepted by others who judge him only by his appearance. Otherwise, he is bubbly, ready to pull together, and happy to make new friends. Item No. 8" was twenty-four "Wagon loads of flowers" for "Sc No 1". The set is given as "montage", and the "Shoot Date" is given as 15th December 2003. Fergus knows the rulebook by heart, and his fussy catchphrase is "Do it right!" His insistence on doing everything absolutely according to the rules can annoy the other engines, but he is a decent engine at heart and will not hesitate to help others in trouble. He is also friendly to nearly everyone he meets. Series 13 - Creaky Cranky, The Lion of Sodor, Slippy Sodor ( cameo), The Early Bird, Percy's Parcel ( cameo), Thomas and the Runaway Kite ( cameo), The Biggest Present of All ( cameo) and Buzzy Bees ( cameo) Fergus differs slightly from his basis: his smoke box is larger to accommodate a face. His bufferbeam is also missing a large section for the same reason.

Instead of Toby, Salty and Harvey come to help Murdoch when he stops due to the sheep. Also, Murdoch's fire goes out and he has no more steam. Molly's whistle sound is a slightly modified version Douglas' fourth series whistle at two steps lower-pitched, and also Thomas' whistle at twelve steps lower-pitched. Series 24 - Emily's Best Friend ( cameo), James the Super Engine ( cameo), A New Arrival, Sonny's Second Chance, Kenji on the Rails Again ( cameo) and Thomas' Animal Friends

When Trevor trundles across the runway, his driver is steering him whilst sitting in his coal bunker, which is empty. In spite of his size, Murdoch is gentle and shy. He prefers peace and quiet, also he can work very hard with any job he has, and his favourite hobby is to have a quiet run through the countryside.
