It is often assumed that the Fat Controller eats a lot of food. This is a gross misconception. In 'The Fat Controller's Monologues', Sir Topham Hatt explains that his size is merely due to a hereditary glandular problem. This must be taken with a pinch of salt however, as he then says that he eats 12 slices of toast and 15 crumpets a day. | It is often assumed that the Fat Controller eats a lot of food.

"Mah wurd, tha'sh a vewy fahn cashule!" - The Fat Controller, Toby's Discovery.
The Fat Controller is the overweight controller of the Sodor Railways. He is frequently parodied by members and answers to "Sir Topham Hatt". His accent is very mysterious, at least, in the UK and Australia. He appears to speak in a mix of dialects - Cumbrian, Yorkshirian, Lancastrian and Liverpudlian, with a lisp on top. It sounds most peculiar.
Nowadays, Sir Hatt features in most episodes of the TV series, and likes to randomly appear out of nowhere, to inform the engines that they have caused Confusion and Delay.
He is married with a mother and grandchildren, and currently holds the Sodor record for most ice creams eaten in one afternoon.
Numerous titles:
- Sir Topham Hatt
- Fat in the Hat
- Tubby
- Fat Tub of Lard
- Fatty
- Fat Slob
- Old Buster-Gut
