Bio
Irving handles the recycling and garbage. He has a recycling area off of the main depot. Irving may look a little snappish, but he can be very helpful to others. He is an adult chugger with a perfectionist streak. He is also very proud of his work at the Recycling Center, and boasts that nothing is ever thrown away in Chuggington. He often speaks in third person, and is also strict when things go bad.
Technical Details
Basis
Irving is based on a Beilhack Rotary Snowblower, minus the plow on the front and modified with two sweepers.
Livery
Irving is painted dark red with a light gray cab roof and a dark gray underbody. He has caution stripes on the corners behind his engine area. His window frames are painted light gray.
Trivia

- He can be very strict sometimes.
- Unlike other Chuggers, he pronounces words freely behind his sweepers.
- His head is smaller in comparison to his eyes, making them appear larger.

- Coincidentally, both Irving and Pete are voiced by Paul Panting in the UK dub.
- Irving has yet to be seen in Season 6.
- Unlike other Chuggers, both of his bogies appear to be hinged to a single base, so whenever his body moves around, they are attached to the base that supports both of his bogies.
