Peter, known as Old Puffer Pete, is an elderly steam chugger and the oldest chugger in the Chuggington series.
Biography[]
Old Puffer Pete grew up in what is now Old Town; during his trainee years, he was very similar to Wilson, finding it hard to pay attention and not realizing his own special talents. When Old Town closed down, Pete, along with Olwin and Speedy, were relocated to current Chuggington, where he was probably modified into a tank engine; despite this, he still held on to his tender, Terry.
As Pete grew older, he became more prone to breaking down; once, his smoke box became worn out, but due to the fact that the mold was broken years ago, it was very hard to find a new one. Around this time, Pete would have his one hundred and fiftieth birthday celebration, performed by Wilson, Brewster and Koko.

Pete later started working at the Drop and Load Yard with Cormac, where many events took place- such as Pete becoming trapped in a strangle of chains, and he and Cormac challenging each other to who can make the most deliveries the fastest. It was around this time that Pete became prone to "sleep riding".
After Speedy's presumed retirement, Pete took over his duties at the quarry, leaving Cormac completely in charge of the Drop and Load Yard.
Personality[]
Old Puffer Pete is a supercentenarian steam chugger who is at least a hundred and fifty years old. Despite his age, he is still a hard worker; and while he is a bit slow most of the time, he doesn't let it stop him and prefers to takes things "slow but steady". Pete loves to watch the trainees work and learn, and always tries to pass on his wisdom if needed.
Possible Basis[]
Old Puffer Pete's basis is not yet to be revealed; he seems to be loosely based on parts of early 4-4-0 locomotives from the United States, such as Union Pacific's "No. 119", "The General", and "Jupiter", but also appears to resemble a DRG Class 62, mainly due to his buffer beam, smoke deflectors, and coal bunker behind his cab, but with a 4-4-0 configuration.
