-Bio: Jeb is an elderly engine owned by General William Snow, and the oldest of his brothers of the Virginia & Truckee locomotive based off of the design of Locomotive No. 21 "J.W. Bowker". Being an old engine, he can be very wise and intelligent, and a well-meaning old chap, however, he can be grumpy and cynical at times, and at worse, can have a very short temper that unfortunately gets him into trouble. The reason regarding his behavior is that he definitely due to the fact he has a typical old man personality, were he loves to talk and reminisce about the "good old days", but also can complain very bitterly about the modern world, and has a tendency to get set in his ways, and stubbornly accept any modern traditions. He also would have an unfortunate prejudice against modern engines built after him such as bigger engines, and even diesels. But after meeting the engines of the Island of Sodor, that began to change, especially in the battle against the Hellfire Organization. His opinions changed over time and slowly began to lighten up, especially after getting to know each and every engine on Sodor, he learned to be more accepting of other engine's differences, and learning to understand their thoughts and opinions, and even gradually learning to control his temper and cynicism. But overall, Jeb is still a good-hearted old engine with a great amount of wisdom and experience, he always works hard, never stopping until a job is finished, and always looks out for the other engines, even the young engines, like a grandfather would for a grandchild, and despite their occasional arguments, he is very close with his brothers Jack & Dill.

-Artist's Commentary: Hi guys, so here I got another, or actually, 3 other characters to upload, and they are also American locomotives that both me and best friend Princesofwhales1223 worked on since 2011, which is hard to believe is 10 years ago, and only now in 2021 I upload them on my channel for the first time. This is Jeb, Jack and Dill, the Virginian & Truckee Locomotives, but so far we have Jeb, the oldest of the trio, and the first one that both me and Henry created. I know what you guys might be thinking, oh no, you're not seriously doing like a version of the Logging Locos in your series, and don't worry, as I hate them too, and Misty Island, but these three are in my opinion at least a more competent version of that annoying trio, in fact, they're like the Three Stooges, with Jeb being Moe, Jack is Larry, and Dill of course will be Curly. 

Now Jeb's personality he is more of a typical-old-man, while wise, very bitter and cynical about the modern world and talking about the good old days. And he of course can have a really hot and short temper that can get him into mishaps due to his prejudice and stubborn attitude, and before Danny, originally Henry and I made him the original main villain, only until Danny came along a year later, and that changed. I decided that he will start out as only a temporary antagonist, but not a villain, mostly because of his bad temper. We all gotta respect our elders yes, but when you gotta deal with somebody, no matter how old they are that is dead set in their ways, that can be annoying. Though I certainly don't plan to make a lot of dumb old man jokes, though his accent I should mention is a Southern American accent, or in this case, a redneck accent, so Jeb also gets offended if somebody calls him a redneck, though Jack & Dill won't have them. 

The basis for Jeb & his brothers are the Virginia & Truckee Locomotive No. 21 "J.W. Bowker", and I know only one was built, but seeing this is a fiction universe were some engines like Edward, Emily, Gordon, Toby, BoCo, and even Thomas are sole survivors of their classes, and Henry originally being a hybrid locomotive of an LNER A1 and a GNR C1 Atlantic, I think I could get away with it, as I'm not too much of an expert on American Railroads I admit. Basically, Jeb is still kind and caring, and with every visit he makes to Sodor, he bonds with every engine, and gets to know them a lot more, and becomes more empathetic when hearing their backstories of their pre-Sodor days, and some engines are the last of their kind, and to see the modern world, despite its ups & downs, can be quite good. I hope you enjoy, and be sure to see more from Jeb & his brothers real soon.
