Joey

**Joey** is a police engine who is part of the Railway Police. After The Second World War, he was inducted into MI5, as the Railway Police was absorbed by the aforementioned organisation. This means he is now authorised to read MI5 documents.

## Biography

Joey was built in 1927 as a railway police engine alongside Eliza and Lenny. He used to work back on the mainland with Lenny until he was brought to Sodor to help contain an outbreak of Mad Cow disease in 1933. Five years later, he was sent to Sodor again to contain a foot-and-mouth epidemic.

When Geoffrey and the Flying Scotsman visited Sodor, Diesel and Geoffrey arranged for Coleen to sabotage the Nor'easters' trains. Joey set up a sting on Coleen involving Whiff and Murray. He caught her and she confessed to her actions. He then set up another sting to catch Geoffrey who was promptly shunted for 30 days in RailGate.

In Thief, he arrested Wendell for stealing trains, landing him a 15-day sentence in prison.

In Shunted, he took Thomas and Bertie into custody for speeding, along with Kate when she made Diesel try to move quarantined trucks.

In Services, he recalled how when he started his job as a police engine, he had stopped Wendell on the main line having caught him going over the speed limit. He was going to issue him a ticket but decided against it when Wendell had shown remorse. When he told Lenny about it, he scolded him and lectured him about the dangers of being lenient towards offenders, as well as telling him that compassion has no place in the law and to be firm and unflinching in his duties even if the offender is sincere. He was just about to tell the engines about his first stake-out when the Vicarstown stationmaster asks him to go to Barrow. He arrived there to find Lenny and Eliza waiting for him. The former informed him that they had to carry out an arrest warrant for a World first offence.

In Trial, he, Lenny and Eliza came to arrest Peter for war crimes, to the shock of his friends.

In Extension, he was talking with Adam and Diesel and informs them that Peter is doing alright and getting his exercise. He also revealed that he had now started working for MI5, and reveals to Adam why the UN hadn't charged him with drowning the prisoners in Atrocity: unlike the people at Eisenmar hospital, the POWs Adam killed were proven felons, including Radik's brother Andrea. He never told anyone about Peter's crime because he couldn't do so.

## Persona

Joey is serious and he gives the engines some helpful and honest advice. He takes his police work very seriously, but he is, however, a fair cop, and only acts strictly when the situation requires it.

## Livery

He is painted in black livery with red linings. He carries a number plate bearing the number 13, in red, with red lining and a yellow fill.
