Farona and Frederico

## Frederico

**Farona and Frederico** are a pair of electric engines from Spain. They visited Sodor to compete for the Sodor Cup.

## Personalities

Both Farona and Frederico are arrogant and snobbish in addition to lacking humility, not above boasting to Kenji and demeaning Thomas and Kana, as well as winding up the latter. However, both of them are very unsporting, and even resorted to cheating to try and win. This ultimately turned Diesel, who at the start of the race was one of their biggest fans, against them.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Farona and Frederico have no particular basis and are freelance designs. Their wheel arrangement - 4-10-0 - was only ever used by steam locomotives and there have been no examples of electric locomotives using this configuration.

### Liveries

Farona is painted yellow with black and orange stripes and black windows. Frederico has the same color patterns, but with the exception of his wheels has much of the yellow and black color placements inverted.
