Cojak is a small class 14 diesel with a nack for complaining.
CHARACTER HISTORY
Cojak was one of the first diesels to operate on the Waterdown Railway when he arrived, serving as part of the Survey Corps before being transferred to the quarries at Callast.
CHARACTER PERSONA
Cojak is typically a very grumpy diesel engine with a poor attitude who hates doing hard work and will often make lame excuses in order to get out of it. Cojak, being a diesel engine, often gets annoyed by the other steam engines, in particular Atlas, Clay, Ramona and Creed (prior to being scrapped) and sometimes boasts about him being the best engine on the whole of Waterdown. He can also often make cold comments about some of the steam engines, like the time he showed no sympathy about Creed being scrapped, and intentionally gets on the other engine's nerves. Despite this, Cojak does have respect for engines like Boomer and Zebedee, and will thank other engines once they help him.
