Peter Sam is a narrow gauge saddle tank engine from The Island of Sodor.

## Personality

Peter Sam is a bright spark of optimism among the narrow gaugers. A bubbly, somewhat younger engine, he keeps to time working at the quarries and keeps in high spirits as much as he can! Though he may be a little naive and may wish to get back at engines that tease him or stir up a misunderstanding, he remains kind and hard-working to all, and is a dependable engine one can count on!

## Technical Details

### Basis

Peter Sam is based on the Talyllyn Railway's Edward Thomas, a Kerr Stuart Tattoo Class 0-4-2ST that originally worked on the Corris Railway. Interestingly, Edward Thomas only donned the Giesl ejector funnel for a limited time, while Peter Sam has used his since its introduction. Four other Tattoo locomotives are also preserved, including a replica on the Corris Railway.

Peter Sam's basis
### Livery

In the Railway Series, Peter Sam was painted dark green while working on the Mid Sodor Railway. After arriving on the Skarloey Railway, he was repainted in the Skarloey Railway's standard red livery with blue and yellow lining, with his name painted on the sides of his saddle tank in yellow.

In the television series, Peter Sam has always been painted dark green with red lining and brass fittings (the same colours from when he was originally Stuart on the Mid Sodor Railway). He has red and gold name and number plates on the sides of his saddle tank and coal bunkers respectively.

In The Thomas Way DVD, the Mr. Perkins segment features a re-illustrated version of Trucks!. In this, Peter Sam is painted dark green, like in the television series.

## Trivia

* The Rev. W. Awdry's model of Peter Sam is currently on display at the Narrow Gauge Museum in Tywyn. Awdry's model of Stuart was at the Rev. Teddy Boston's Cadeby Light Railway, before the railway finally closed in 2005.
* Peter Sam's large scale model is currently on display at Hara Model Railway Museum in Yokohama, Japan.
* Peter Sam's small scale model (used in the fourth and fifth seasons) with a slate truck was sold at Vectis for £2600.
* Nitrogen Studios went to the Talyllyn Railway and took measurements of Peter Sam's basis, Edward Thomas, so that his CGI Series render would resemble Edward Thomas as closely as possible. This was also done with Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel and Rusty.
* Peter Sam's small scale model had bent side rods throughout the fourth and fifth seasons.
* Steven Kynman gives Peter Sam a Welsh accent; reflecting his basis' origins.
* His original Wooden Railway toy along with Thomas' both made a cameo appearance in an episode of Australia's Funniest Home Videos.
