Jimmy proved how much of a hard worker he was when he stepped in to pull William's commuter train when he was trapped by broken points. Jimmy is very popular with the other engines due to his positive personality and attitude towards life. He is always on hand to cheer another engine up and brighten their day. Some engines, (mostly William) see Jimmy as the child of the sheds because of his small size, but Jimmy has proven he is far from childish and is more then capable of putting William in his place.

They were having finishing touches applied to them when the Fat Controller came to buy Percy for his railway and Jimmy was kept on British Railways.
