(I always have this feeling that the other diesels don’t like Dennis because he brings shame to them)
Honestly, I feel that many of the engines on Sodor would not be big on Dennis due to his slothful nature. They would most likely feel that he just slows down any work being done due to not doing anything. I do feel some would have pity on him, but most just are annoyed by him, especially if they are paired up with him for a task. That’s why Norman makes more appearances than Dennis, because, while Norman has engine issues, he at least tries. Hell even Derek tried harder than Dennis did, and Derek’s engine is in terrible shape.
(Btw, I personally don’t hate Dennis, but can see why the engines on Sodor wouldn’t like him. No one likes a slacker)
(Even the wiki on Dennis says that he isn’t popular. It says, “As a result of his laziness, he is very unpopular with other engines,”. I have the screenshot to prove it.)
So, what I’m saying is your right, he is not popular among the diesels, or any of the engines for that matter.
Traintober: Day 10 "Happiest"
"Nobody's ever happy being around Killdane."
[Killdane Iron & Smelting Co, East Sodor]
Derek trundled into the yard with a long train of scrap from The Mainland in tow. He glanced about the yards watching the workers going about their work. Truth be told he wasn't at his happiest here, for good reason, naturally. He himself had been in danger of being scrapped not long ago, still work had to get done, and he had a job to do.
As he approached the smelting sheds, he noticed something odd. The Ironworks was. . .staffed with different engines. Drake, a small great western shunter stopped ahead of Derek. "Good work, if you need the fuel pumps they're on the siding nearest the sheds.", Derek looked the engine over, and against better judgement asked, "Are you new to the ironworks?" The engine, stared at Derek, grumbled something indiscernible, before bluntly stating "No, I've been here for quite a while."
Derek thought for a moment, and asked.
"Weren't there two diesel shunters who ran this yard?".
Drake stared, a difficult to determine expression with hints of tiredness fell upon their face. "No." they said quite plainly. "Are you quite sure?" Derek ventured again, Drake pondered for a moment. "Over there." they said, Derek looked over and watched an unfamiliar diesel shunter, grumble past with a train of slag wagons and what appeared to be a rusty tender in front.
Derek didn't quite know what to say.
