Sodor Island Council

The **Sodor Island Council** (Sudric: **Elanting**; *Island Assembly*) is the local government assembly for the Island of Sodor, responsible for providing public services. Executive functions are carried out by the **Commission of Policy and Improvements**, established in 1665, and both bodies together form the **Conovocation of the Insulane of Sodor**.

Historically, the Elanting was the name of the assembly of representatives summoned to provide advice and raise taxes for the King of Sodor.

## History

### Thing of the Kingdom

The Ogmundsaga claims that, alongside Tynwald on the Isle of Man, King Godred MacHarold also established a Nordic thing on Sodor. After Godred's death in 989, Earl Sigurd the Stout of Orkney summoned the Thing to recognise him as Sodor's new ruler - however all its members denied the Earl's rule, labeling him a murderer and a tyrant. In response, Sigurd ordered his men to execute the lawmakers and suppressed the Thing - with only a handful surviving the slaughter.

When Sigurd died at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, Godred's son, Harald returned to Sodor to claim his father's throne - and summoned the nobleman of Sodor to a new Thing at his camp at Haultraugh to recognise his claim, which it did unanimously.

**Kevin** is a well-meaning, but clumsy four-wheeled crane who works at Crovan's Gate Works with Victor.

## Persona

Kevin is a bubbly and enthusiastic crane who works at the Steamworks, where he assists Victor in repairing engines. He is innocent, well-meaning, bursting to help and say hello, and always eager and ready to lend a helping hook. Kevin is often seen dashing about and tends to be quite clumsy, having a habit of frequently dropping things from his hook and pranging objects as he buzzes about. He often exclaims that it was "a slip of the hook". Something that he says often enough for Victor, who he refers to as "boss", to be able to commonly finish the sentence for him. But Kevin is loveable, kind-hearted, and funny, if rather naive, and always tries his best, regardless of his inexperience.

Bear

* **Class**: BR Class 35 "Hymek"
* **Designer**: Beyer Peacock Ltd.
* **Builder**: Beyer Peacock Ltd.
* **Built**: February 1964
* **Configuration**: Bo-Bo
* **Top Speed**: 90 mph
* **Arrived on Sodor**: 1967

"*It's nicer than just a number. Having a name means that you really belong.*"
— Bear

**Bear** (formerly known by his original number, **D7101**) is a mixed-traffic diesel locomotive on the North Western Railway, who works on the Main Line.

## Biography

D7101 was built in 1964 at Beyer Peacock's Gorton Works in Manchester, as the 102nd and final member of his class - he was a late addition to the order, intended to serve as a spare engine. Like his siblings, he was sent to the Western Region, and was assigned to the Cardiff Division at the new Canton TMD, usually pulling long-distance freight and inter-regional passenger trains. By this point, dieselisation was well underway and there were few steam locomotives left in service, so D7101 had few interactions with them.

In 1967, Sir Charles Topham Hatt desired to test the merits of a diesel-hydraulic engine in comparison to the more standard diesel-electric, and requested a Hymek from the Western Region, who despatched D7101 - while a Class 46, D199, was dispatched from the Eastern Region. D199 was blatantly arrogant, and bad-mouthed the steam engines, until D7101 and Duck managed to shut him up. The next day, 7101's injector failed while pulling "the Limited". Henry, who was already towing D199 and his train of oil tankers, came to help; 7101 was still able to move by himself with some help from Henry. To the passengers' delight, Flying Scotsman took their train, while Henry helped 7101 home. Along the way, Henry told the diesel about his failed regulator. 7101's opinion of steam engines was greatly changed after the incident.

The engines persuaded the Fat Controller to let 7101 stay on the North Western Railway, and renamed him "Bear." Bear liked this name, saying it meant he "really belonged." Even James, who was the last to accept diesels, could not help but like him. It later was revealed Bear pulls the Express when Gordon, Henry and James are busy. Bear also did Henry's duties while Henry was at the Works.

## Persona

Bear is one of the more useful and nicer diesels. He is a loyal and friendly sort, but often makes unusual growling noises much to the disturbance of the other engines; thus earning the name "Bear." Sir Charles Topham Hatt was impressed with BoCo and Bear; he called them "versatile" because they could pull both coaches and trucks. BoCo and Bear usually defend the steam engines when a visiting diesel boasts about how superior they are.

## Livery

Bear is painted in the BR Brunswick green livery with a narrow band of lime along the bottom of his sides, cream window surrounds and yellow warning panels. The number "D3" is painted on his cab sides in white. When he first arrived on Sodor, he wore the BR "Rail Blue" livery with yellow warning panels.

## Notes

* Bear is one of three Western Region diesel-hydraulics on the North Western Railway.

"*Bluebells forever!*"
— Stepney

**Stepney**, named after a district in London, is a famous tank engine from the Bluebell Railway in Suffolk.

## Biography

Stepney was built in 1875 as a standard A1 for use on light London suburban services.

## Persona

Stepney is a bubbly, honest and humble chap who is busting with enthusiasm. He is very eager to please and is every engine's friend. Even if an engine might not like him at first, his personality wins them over. After being saved from scrap by the Bluebell Railway, he now runs his own line, but loves visiting Sodor and helping out on the North Western Railway. He has an enthusiasm for learning, as well as keeping busy. Stepney can feel down in the dumps if he does not get enough work to do or if he does not get a good long run to stretch his wheels. Stepney is high-spirited, lively and is keen to see fair play. He is popular amongst the engines and is always game for more work. Under his somewhat youthfull exterior however, lies a very old and a very wise engine, with lots of experience and plenty of advice to give. Due to numerous hardships, he is a rather tough engine, though he still retains a friendly demeanour.

## Livery

Stepney is usually painted in the LB&SCR goldenrod livery, formally known as "Stroudley's Improved Engine Green", with green, red, white and black lining. His name is painted on his side tanks and the number "55" is painted on the sides of his bunker, both in white. At times, he is painted in the "Bluebell Black" livery with red lining.

## Trivia

* Fenchurch, another engine on the Bluebell, and Boxhill are his brothers.
Ffarquhar

**Ffarquhar** (Sudric: **Peel Farchar**; *Fort of the Beloved Man*) is a large village in the Island of Sodor's Elsdale District. Located near the source of the River Els, it is the top station of the Ffarquhar Branch Line and had a population of 3,201 at the 2011 census.

## Notes

* **Top Speed**: 44 mph

**Norman**, nicknamed **Norm**, is an orange-red diesel engine and Dennis' brother. He works as a utility engine and lives at Vicarstown Works.

## Persona

Norman looks like his twin Dennis, but he is a much kinder diesel engine. He wants to be liked by all the engines, whether they be steam or diesel engines. So he does his part at the Sodor Dieselworks and follows all of his orders. However, poor Norman often breaks down and he does not like that. Unlike Dennis, who is lazy, if Norman were fixed properly he would show what a Really Useful Engine he can be. He is always willing to help another engine in trouble. He cares for his brother dearly, and commonly covers his work so he won't get into trouble.

## Livery

Norman is painted orange-red with yellow lining and a dark grey roof. His front, gearboxes and transmission wheels are painted black. The number "D13" is painted on the sides of his cab and on his front bufferbeam in white.

**Bradford** is a Welsh brake van who works with Samson.

## Persona

Bradford is an officious and strict brake van who adheres to every railway rule, no matter how minor the rule might be. Although he means well and does his best to keep the trucks in order, his overzealous attitude commonly makes his trains run very late. Because of this, the engines find him annoying. He is also quite conceited, as he claimed he knew how much the engines "appreciated" him.

## Livery

Bradford is painted light green with a red stripe across each of his sides and his number painted in gold
Rheneas

* **Class**: Fletcher Jennings Class Bb
* **Designer**: Henry A. Fletcher
* **Builder**: Fletcher, Jennings & Co.
* **Built**: 1866
* **Gauge**: 2ft 3in
* **Configuration**: 0-4-0WT
* **Arrived on Sodor**: October 1866

**Rheneas** is a red narrow gauge well-tank engine and the Skarloey Railway's second engine. He is named after Rheneas, a waterfall served by a station on the Railway and is the younger brother of Skarloey.

## Biography

Rheneas was built by Fletcher, Jennings & Co. in 1866, the same time as his twin Dolgoch. Dolgoch was sent to the Talyllyn Railway in Wales, while Rheneas was sent, by ship, to the Skarloey Railway on Sodor, where he met his brother, Skarloey.

## Persona

Rheneas has been called a "gallant old engine" before and deserves such a title. Rheneas is highly determined, brave, courageous, and a long-time friend and brother of Skarloey. He is a tough, committed worker despite his age and takes great responsibility in his work. He is keen to keep his friends smiling and, although he is a level-headed engine, he can be a bit of an adventurer too. Though he may often try to struggle on alone, Rheneas knows when it is time to call on the help of his friends. Nevertheless, Rheneas is always highly dedicated to the task at hand.

## Livery

Rheneas is painted vermilion with black lining, white outlining and brass fittings. He has brass name and number plates, with black backgrounds on the sides of his boiler and coal bunkers, respectively. He was previously painted in the Railway's former standard livery of scarlet red with blue lining. His name was painted on his side in yellow, and in the railway's early years, and again from 1965 to 1995 he had an unpainted brass dome.

## Notes

* His name means "Divided Waterfall" in Sudric. The correct Sudric pronunciation is Ren-e-as, while the common Anglophone pronunciation is Rhe-nay-us.

**Skarloey Railway**
Skarloey Railway

The **Skarloey Railway** (**SR**), nicknamed "**The Little Railway**", is a narrow gauge (2'3") railway on the Island of Sodor, running for 40 miles from Crovan's Gate to Ulfstead Castle. The line was opened in 1865 to carry copper, and later slate, from the quarries at Ward Fell to Crovan's Gate, and is the oldest continuously operating Sudrian railway.

Since 1951, the railway has primarily operated as a tourist attraction, with the Blue Mountain Quarry being the railway's secondary source of income. These operations are supplemented by local passenger and freight traffic and a MoD contract to transport munitions to DM Skarloey. Major investment has allowed the railway to expand its locomotive and carriage fleets, and improve its running way and facilities. In 1965, an extension was opened around the lake, with a station at Lakeside, and in 1974 the railway completed an extension to Ulfstead Castle, which had been under construction since 1958.

* **Built**: 1967
* **Top Speed**: 548 mph
* **Arrived on Sodor**: 1967

**Jeremy** is a jet plane who is owned by Sodor Airways and lives at the Sodor Airport.

## Persona

Being a light aircraft, Jeremy enjoys being able to tear through the air at speed, see things from the air that others on the ground cannot and not encountering the obstacles that a steam engine might. As such, Jeremy can have quite a proud, inflated view of himself and may inadvertently put down the usefulness of an engine friend by speaking without thinking. Jeremy will shrug off, rarely acknowledge or choose to ignore the many things that his engine friends can do that he cannot. But Jeremy has a very positive nature and is always happy to team up and lend a hand for the benefit of others, completely putting aside his one-upmanship to be a good friend.

## Livery

Jeremy is painted in the Sodor Airways commercial livery; white with "Sodor Blue" highlights.

* **Built**: September 1962
* **Configuration**: Bo-Bo
* **Top Speed**: 60 mph
* **Arrived on Sodor**: October 1968

**Derek** is a faulty diesel engine who works on Edward's Branch Line as a freight engine.

## Biography

The Fat Controller realised Bill and Ben needed help and sent for Derek, but Derek's cooling system overheated on Gordon's Hill and BoCo had to come to the rescue. The news of the rescue went through the North Western Railway's rumour mill in due course, until a confused Percy informed Bill and Ben that Derek had a toothache. Bill and Ben were apprehensive of Derek as a result, but forgot their fear when Derek's cooling system overheated yet again and they had to help him home. Derek was then sent to the Works to be mended.

## Persona

Derek is a jolly, enthusiastic diesel engine, who was brought in to assist Bill, Ben and BoCo at the China Clay Pits. Unfortunately, due to his engine, he is highly prone to teething troubles, namely overheating and suffering frequent breakdowns, for which he is apologetic for the inconvenience. As a result, he spends many a day having his engine tended to at the Dieselworks. But Derek is a likeable chap and even Bill and Ben decided that they liked him due to his friendly nature. Derek has an infectious charisma, is keen to help anyone around him, and has a passion for sorting things out in a jiffy - if his cooling system lets him.

He is very close friends with Norman whom he relates to over their engine problems.

## Livery

Derek is painted in the BR Brunswick green livery with yellow warning panels. His window frames are lined, and the number "D4" is painted on his cab sides, in white. He originally had the BR logo on his sides.
Sodor & Mainland Railway

The **Sodor & Mainland Railway** (abbreviated as **S&MR**) was the first standard gauge railway built on the Island of Sodor. Despite its name, it never reached the Mainland and was a financial disaster. It was absorbed into the North Western Railway in 1914.

## History

The Sodor & Mainland was first promoted in 1850 and was projected to link Barrow-in-Furness with Suddery, the ancient capital of Sodor. There was plenty of local enthusiasm, but little intrest in the service on the Mainland. The railway canvassed support from local investors, promising those from Peel Godred that they'd build a branch line north from Cronk to the town. The railway received its Act of Parliament in 1853, allowing construction to proceed, with a single line track being laid between Ballahoo and Rolf's Castle.

Many of the S&M's staff originally came from Ireland or Scotland. In 1865, the S&M extended from Rolf's Castle to the harbour town of Kirk Ronan. They hoped to start a steamer service from Kirk Ronan to Dublin. This project failed, but the Skarloey Railway started operating the same year. The two railway's connected at Crovan's Gate, and the S&M was responsible for delivering its two original locomotives. The Crovan's Gate Mining Company used Kirk Ronan extensively for the shipment of ore, which would be delivered to the harbour by the S&M.

The railway, ultimately, proved to be ambitious, but ill-fated and the Company's high hopes were disappointed. Their tunnel through the Ballahoo Ridge collapsed, preventing the railway from connecting with Vicarstown, and their attempts to erect a bridge across the Walney Channel faired no better. The Admiralty was obstructive about the proposed low-level bridge across the straits from the start. When permission was finally obtained, attempts at construction was dogged with difficulties. First, foundations were washed away by the tide, then part of one of the spans was lost when cranes broke while hoisting it into position, and eventually the almost completed bridge was wrecked by a gale. Following the Tay Bridge disaster of 1879, further bridge-building attempts were indefinitely shelved, and all subsequent proposals were baulked by the Admiralty.

Due to these severe setbacks, trains only ended up running between Kirk Ronan and Ballahoo, and by 1870 the company was already teetering on the verge bankruptcy. By this point, the people of Peel Godred had realised that their promised branch line would never be built, and came to conclusion that they must build it themselves. They initially favoured a line built on the route proposed by the S&M, but as it would have involved a junction somewhere with the S&M, most felt that to embark on such a project would be the height of imprudence. They opted to look elsewhere, which led to the formation of the Mid Sodor Railway in 1872.

Bankruptcy finally came in 1901, and the last of its locomotion were scrapped that year, bringing services to an end, but the company remained in being.
Vinnie

* **Class**: CNR U-4-a
* **Builder**: Montreal Locomotive Works
* **Built**: 1936
* **Scrapped**: 1977
* **Configuration**: 4-8-4

**Vinnie** was an Canadian engine who competed in the Great Railway Show. He was a competitor in the Strongest Engine competition.

## Persona

Vinnie was very competitive with a reputation for being a bully and would do anything to win a competition, including cheating. He viewed smaller engines such as Thomas and Philip as inferior to him, often calling them derogatory names such as "Shrimp" (Thomas) and "Shortie" (Philip), and often took pleasure in bumping them around. Because of his vile behaviour, hardly any of the engines got along with him. He was also very reckless, as shown when he bashed through a pile of rocks, and Gina's flatbeds.

Despite his intimidating size and demeanour, Vinnie proved himself to be a coward in the face of greater adversity, as shown when he panicked after his accident at the Great Railway Show.

## Livery

Vinnie was painted grey and dark blue with yellow lining and red trimming around his cab windows. He carried his number and name on plates on his smokebox and the sides of his footplate.
Proteus

Merrick

* **Built**: 1962
* **Configuration**: 4w

**Merrick** is a travelling gantry crane, who is stationed at the Blue Mountain Quarry.

## Persona

Merrick is a sleepy gantry crane who works at the Blue Mountain Quarry. When there is no work to do, he is usually found snoring away, which can sometimes be heard loudly around the quarry, often to the amusement of the engines and workmen. But as soon as there is work to be done, Merrick is cheerily bustling about, wide awake once again, and working hard, ready to swing his hook into action to load an engine's trucks with blocks of slate so that they can head over the Blondin Bridge to the cutting sheds. When he is awake, he is attentive, merry and will often wish the engines a good morning.

## Livery

Merrick is painted vermilion with yellow and gold accents. He has gold nameplates on both sides of his cab.
Peregrine Percival

* **Spouse**: Mrs Polly Percival

**Mr Peregrine Percival**, nicknamed "**The Thin Controller**" is the former General Manager of the Skarloey Railway, serving between 1980 and 2014. Despite being in charge of a railway, his favourite mode of transportation was his old bicycle.

## Biography

Peregrine Percival was born to Patrick and Pansy (nee Bowler) Percival, both of whom were Skarloey Railway employees, running Glennock Station. He was an only child. He would attend the local Glennock Junior School from 1951 until 1959, when he moved up to the Sir Handel Brown Senior School in Crovan's Gate, which he attended until turning 16 in 1964. In 1963, he began working part-time on the Skarloey Railway as the Porter at Glennock, where he stayed until 1966.

In 1966, Peregrine was offered the position of Booking Clerk at Crovan's Gate, a significant promotion. During his time at Crovan's Gate, he forged a friendship with Roger Sam, the railway's General Manager who became a mentor to the young man. In 1970, he was appointed Roger Sam's assistant, and it quickly became apparent that he was grooming Peregrine to be his successor

## Attire

Peregrine Percival's usual attire was black lounge dress, consisting of a black suit jacket, yellow waistcoat, white shirt, black tie and grey formal trousers. He wore a black bowler hat and a brown pair of glasses.

* **Arrived on Sodor**: 1949

**Bill** and **Ben** are cheeky tank engine twins who work at the Sodor China Clay Pits, though they can commonly be found at Brendam Docks. They are loaned out to the Anopha Quarry at certain periods.

## Persona

Bill and Ben are Sodor's mischievous saddle tank engine twins, who have great fun in teasing the other engines of the railway. They often work in the China Clay Pits and quarries. Their loads of clay can be used for many things such as paper, paint, and pottery. They take trucks for engines on the Main Line and ships in the harbour and are regularly seen around Brendam Docks. They enjoy attention and love taking visitors around and being photographed. They tend to work together, like most twins, but even this youthful pair can have their arguments among themselves and can squabble with one another. They are highly prone to playing tricks and being cheeky. They have even teased Gordon on more than one occasion. Duck has called them "the bees" before, for being terrors when they start buzzing around. Edward and BoCo are the only engines who can really keep them in order enough to put a stop to their games and make them scamper along and behave. There is no real harm to them, but even Edward admits that they are maddening at times.

## Livery

Bill and Ben are painted dark yellow with red lining and wheels. They both have brass nameplates with thier names in gold and the intials "SCC" painted on the sides of their saddle tanks and "BRENDAM BAY" written on the fronts, both in yellow. They have number plates reading "1" (Bill) and "2" (Ben) above their faces and the back of their cabs.

The twins were once briefly painted dark blue with blue wheels, yellow lining and yellow lettering.

## Trivia

* They are siblings with **Judy** and **Alfred**, two other Bagnall 0-4-0s who formerly worked at the Port of Par and English China Clay.
Ffarquhar Branch Line

"*The Fat Controller relies on me. My Branch Line is the most important part of the **whole** Railway!*"
— Thomas

The **Ffarquhar Branch Line**, commonly known as **Thomas' Branch Line** and originally named the **Elsbridge Branch Line** until 1925, is a predominantly rural route of the North Western Railway, famously run by Thomas.

Built as the Elsbridge & Knapford Tramway, it leaves the North Western Main Line at the harbour town of Knapford on Sodor's west coast and runs thorough the Elsdale valley to the village of Ffarquhar, where the Quarry Tramroad leads up to the Anopha Quarry. Its main traffic consists of stone and agricultural produce, with a healthy passenger service.

## History

### Early Years

Railway development in the Elsdale began in 1882, when the Ulfstead Mining Company partnered with a number of merchants in Elsbridge to finance the drainage of the Fens and the construction of a horse-drawn tramway in order to exploit mineral resources belived to be abundant in the valley, as well as open up land to agricultural expansion. With local expertise lacking, the Mining Company engaged the services of Mr A.W. Dry of Whittlesey, who had learned his trade in the drainage of the last great mere in East Anglia and had since built up a small but respectable firm of engineers.

**BoCo** is a mixed traffic diesel engine on the North Western Railway, who is based on Edward's Branch Line, though be also works on the Main Line.

## Biography

BoCo was built for British Railways on 29th September 1958, and along with the rest of his class primarily worked the London-Glasgow "Condor" overnight express freight service. He and his siblings, however, proved to be unreliable and in 1961 were returned to Metropolitan-Vickers for remedial work. While a number of problems were resolved, their engines still gave trouble and the class was banished to Barrow-in-Furness shed in 1962.

Shortly after arriving at Barrow, D5702 found himself operating trains to the Island of Sodor that frequently ended on the Brendam Branch Line, where he befriended Edward, who suggested he call himself "BoCo".

## Biography

Annie and Clarabel were built in 1892 at Brighton Works, and were amongst the last coaches built to a Stroudley design. They lived a rather unassuming and dull live working together on small LB&SCR branch lines until 1915. By this point, they were considered outdated and their type was being replaced by bogie coaches or six wheelers. At the same time, the newly formed North Western Railway was searching for rolling stock and the Government offered a generous subsidy to railways willing to give stock to the railway. As the offer was greater than the scrap value of the coaches the LB&SCR sent a large number of four wheelers to the NWR, including Annie and Clarabel.

Annie and Clarabel were shipped via Southampton to Tidmouth Harbour on Sodor, arriving in February. As they were amongst the newer and better conditioned four wheelers, they were assigned to the construction trains building the for workman transport - working extensively with Edward.

But despite their arguments they both seem to make amends in the end, because of how kind and tolerant Rusty is. He has a good working relationship with both Skarloey and Peter Sam in particular. Caring, calm, and quick-thinking, Rusty is modestly a credit to the Skarloey Railway

## Biography

Mike was built for a minimum-gauge railway in England. The line was in severe financial trouble, and hoped that the construction of a new locomotive would help solve the troubles, but, if anything, it made them worse. It closed at the end of Mike's first season. One notable incident during Mike's short time on his railway was when some naughty coaches insulted him and later caused him to become a runaway and derail. Mike has hated coaches ever since.

## Persona

Mike can sometimes appear a little arrogant. He thinks he should be in charge of the other engines, though none of them really let him boss them around. Bert simply humours him, but Rex goes out of his way to tease Mike and wind him up, which is not very difficult. Mike much prefers pulling goods trains to passengers, unlike, for example, Gordon, as he considers goods much more straightforward and less likely to complain. He is proud of his strength and appears rather confident, but he would not be so easy to tease if he was not hiding at least a little insecurity. He can sometimes be a little irritable. He, Bert and Rex enjoy singing.

## Livery

Mike is painted NWR red with blue and yellow lining. He has a brass dome, brass builder's plates on the sides of his cab, red nameplates with gold writing mounted on each side of his boiler and "ARLESDALE" written on the sides of his tender in yellow.
