Character Bio

Shining Time Station Card:

Owen Bell Artwork Card:

Other than their name plaques and their numbers, Donald & Douglas are identical twins. They hate to be parted and enjoy a joke - especially when outsiders can't tell them apart. Their antics sometimes lead to trouble - but they're hard workers and particularly good at ploughing snow.

Differences from Basis

Differences from Books

The model is colored black as opposed to the Donald & Douglas is the later series, being colored black & blue.
The model also does not have the name tag that later in the series, Donald & Douglas do have, meaning that this model replicates the TV series model as opposed the the Railway Series model.
