Culdee

Culdee is a narrow gauge mountain-climbing engine named after Culdee Fell, the mountain his railway climbs. He has his own coach named Catherine.
Culdee was built at the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in Winterthur, Switzerland, and arrived on Sodor in time for the railway's inspection. In March 1900, he was the first to be used in the test runs on the Culdee Fell Railway. When Lord Harry was delivered in March 1962, Culdee left for overhaul instead of Shane Dooiney as he was the most run down of the two. He arrived in Switzerland in May 1962 but the men were too busy with other projects to mend Culdee so he was put in a shed in the meantime. When the manager of the CFR asked the works how Culdee’s progress, the men dropped what they were doing and built a new mountain engine that looked like Culdee and sent him to Sodor in May 1963, without thinking of the original Culdee. In 1994, Culdee was discovered among a crew member for the works. Culdee was pulled out and sent to Sodor but when he arrived, he found out his Railway closed and was left in a shed at the top station. 
Culdee is careful, cautious and friendly. He is filled with advice to give to the other engines. Culdee is the sensible one of the Mountain Railway. He and his coach, Catherine are a fine team, and favourites with passengers. But he does like a bit of excitement, and tells great stories about the other engines.
Culdee is based on the Snowdon Mountain Railway's No. 4 Snowdon.
