Character Description
P. T. Boomer, also incorrectly known as Pete Boom, or Boomer, was expected to be seen in 2000 film Thomas and the Magic Railroad as the true main antagonist. He was been cut from the film as test audiences complained that he was too scary for a younger audience, and Diesel 10 was rewritten as the main antagonist. He appeared in the trailer for the film, however. His role was played by Canadian actor, Doug Lennox. P. T. Boomer was jealous of the relationship that Burnett Stone had with Tasha and bullied Burnett into allowing him to take Lady for a run. After crashing her, he left Shining Time while Burnett spent years trying to restore her, to no avail. Boomer is described in the script as being "a drifter through choice". He returns now a good forty years later a bitter and dark character bent on getting rid of Lady. Boomer is the reason behind Mutt's unease, and reason for bringing Lily to Shining Time rather than letting her go on to Muffle Mountain. Boomer spends much of his time throughout the movie arguing with Burnett Stone and digging into the mountain looking for Lady. He has no (said) ownership or connections with Diesel 10, other than their shared desire to destroy Lady and Sodor. He doesn't believe in magic and when he finds Thomas in the real world, he believes that he's just a huge toy. Thomas is the reason why Boomer ends up on Sodor: he's transported back in Thomas's cab on the way back through the Magic Railroad. He and Diesel 10 meet their fates during the chase scene when they plunge off the viaduct into a barge filled with sludge.
