Merrick is a sleepy traveling gantry crane who works at the Blue Mountain Quarry.
Bio[]
When Blondin Bridge was unsafe, Merrick warned the engines that Rheneas was coming down from the upper terrace, and would have to cross the bridge with loaded trucks. When Thomas asked him if he had seen a little green engine, he quickly answered that he hadn't. Later, he congratulated Luke for saving Thomas.
Luke tried to get him and the other engines at the quarry to be quiet in order to not frighten Luke's deer, but Merrick told him that there was no way they could do their jobs properly if they were trying to be quiet.
He was seen at the quarry when Samson got lost, and then returned again but had to stay another night.
On one day, Sir Handel was sent to work at the quarry for a whole week, and was not pleased in the slightest! He took his frustration out on Merrick, waking him at any opportunity, but Merrick got his own back by lifting Sir Handel high into the air while the grumpy tank engine was sleeping.
Persona[]
Merrick is a sleepy gantry crane who works at the Blue Mountain Quarry. When there is no work to do, he is usually found snoring away, which can sometimes be heard loudly around the quarry, often to the amusement of the engines and workmen. But as soon as there is work to be done, Merrick is cheerily bustling about, wide awake once again, and working hard, ready to swing his hook into action to load an engine's trucks with blocks of slate so that they can head over the Blondin Bridge to the cutting sheds. When he is awake, he is attentive, merry, and will often wish the engines a good morning.
