In his first appearance, Action Chugger surprised the [[trainees]] at [[Countryside Ride-In|the Countryside Drive-in]] after the three had completed an sign-reading test. Soon afterwards, Action Chugger would take [[Zephie]] to said Drive-In for an interview about a mobile rail vehicle made by [[Morgan]], but accidentally crushed it upon arrival; despite this, Zephie having a ride with Action Chugger would make headlines on its own. Action Chugger took [[King of Buffertonia|the King of Buffertonia]] to [[Safari Park]] after [[Old Puffer Pete]] became caught up in a rock landslide; additionally, he would teach a lesson about rescuing to the trainees- and later that day, he would rescue [[Wilson]] after he used one of the jet packs to have a go at flying.

Sometime later, Action Chugger would break down along the blue line after getting a branch stuck in one of his jets; luckily, Brewster, who was on recycling duty at the time, managed to get him back on the rails. Around this time, Action Chugger also rescued Wilson from a snowdrift, brought [[Hodge]] into space to fix the satellite that he had tipped over, and fall victim to [[Dr. Ling]]'s soap that hardened when it dried.

== Bio ==
  
−
Action Chugger is Chuggington's real life superhero always ready to help anyone who is in trouble. He is like a cross between Superman and the Thunderbirds! All of the other chuggers think he is great - he is like a celebrity in Chuggington. Action Chugger has even had films made all about his rescues.
  
   
  +
Action Chugger would also put on a disguise as a regular chugger for one of his films (with his lack of knowledge causing him to be trapped in a rock landslide at [[the Loading Yard]]), host the Iron Chuggers competition between the steam team and the [[Chuggineers]], and finally recruit Brewster and Zephie as his part-time sidekicks. The trainees would also attempt to give Action Chugger a day off as requested by [[Mayor Pullman]], but after a couple of mishaps having to do with [[Zack]] and an overpowered motor, the trainees learnt that rescuing is what makes Action Chugger feel relaxed.

He is based on a FS E414 Italian locomotive but he also looks similar to the German ICE high speed train.

“I'm helpful, I'm strong, I get the job done!”
―Action Chugger's catchphrase

Action Chugger is a yellow and brown super jet-powered chugger who lives in the distant suburbs of Chuggington. He is a movie actor and part time rescuer.

Biography

In his first appearance, Action Chugger surprised the trainees at the Countryside Drive-in after the three had completed an sign-reading test. Soon afterwards, Action Chugger would take Zephie to said Drive-In for an interview about a mobile rail vehicle made by Morgan, but accidentally crushed it upon arrival; despite this, Zephie having a ride with Action Chugger would make headlines on its own. Action Chugger took the King of Buffertonia to Safari Park after Old Puffer Pete became caught up in a rock landslide; additionally, he would teach a lesson about rescuing to the trainees- and later that day, he would rescue Wilson after he used one of the jet packs to have a go at flying.

Sometime later, Action Chugger would break down along the blue line after getting a branch stuck in one of his jets; luckily, Brewster, who was on recycling duty at the time, managed to get him back on the rails. Around this time, Action Chugger also rescued Wilson from a snowdrift, brought Hodge into space to fix the satellite that he had tipped over, and fall victim to Dr. Ling's soap that hardened when it dried.

Action Chugger would also put on a disguise as a regular chugger for one of his films (with his lack of knowledge causing him to be trapped in a rock landslide at the Loading Yard), host the Iron Chuggers competition between the steam team and the Chuggineers, and finally recruit Brewster and Zephie as his part-time sidekicks. The trainees would also attempt to give Action Chugger a day off as requested by Mayor Pullman, but after a couple of mishaps having to do with Zack and an overpowered motor, the trainees learnt that rescuing is what makes Action Chugger feel relaxed.
