Matthew later welcomed Dustin to the Island[2].

Personality[]
Matthew is a kind, young engine. At first, he did not like to offend others, and often tried to avoid using language that might do so. Now, however, Matthew is a bit of a gossip, as shown when he told Lorenzo and Beppe he had overheard Jacob saying Richard Hatt would not have enough money to buy Madison new wheels.
Basis[]
Matthew is an 0-4-0 saddle tank believed to have been built by the Avonside Engine Company of Bristol, but prior to being purchased second or third hand by Sir Topham Hatt he acquired components from Hunslet of Leeds and other builders.
Livery[]
Originally, Matthew was painted white with red lining. He had red piston rods and white wheels with red rims. He also had his number "326" on his cab in red.
In the ninth season of Stories From Sodor:Future, Matthew was repainted medium blue with purple lining. He has purple piston rods and his number "326" on his cab in purple. In the twenty-sixth season, his number changed to "32" and gained a white outline.
In the fourth season of Jacob, Kevin, and Friends:Past Adventures, it was revealed that Matthew wore two different liveries prior to his arrival on Sodor. When he was first built, he was painted GNR green with cream lining. He had a cream running board, bufferbeams, and piston rods. The initials "GNR" were on his cabsides in cream.
Matthew was also painted purple with gold lining. The initials "GNR" were painted on the sides of his tanks in gold. He had gold piston rods and a red running board and bufferbeams.
