Ellie

**Ellie the Hopeful Engine** is a supporting character from the Seventyverse and is the seventh engine of the Arlesdale Railway. Before this, she was the fifth engine of the Anfield Bank Railway and a member of the Anti Diesel Electric League Revolution.

## Backstory

Sabrina and Ellie worked alongside Bert, Rex and Mike on the Anfield Bank Railway. When the railway suddenly closed, Mr. Fergus Duncan wanted to purchase all five engines. Unfortunately, he could only afford three. Sabrina and Ellie were sheeted away to keep them safe. It was barely a week before Addison discovered them and took them in for her own railway. Though Ellie was well looked after, she felt as if she stepped into a nightmare...

During the events of *Engines of the Same Metals*, she started befriending the Aresdale Engines. She also managed to stand up to Sabrina, and chase her onto the ballast chute. Mr. Duncan decided to give her a second chance and allow her to become part of the Aresdale Railway.

## Personality

Ellie was very shy and timid among her peers, but she still loved them very much. She was heartbroken when she was separated from Rex, Bert and Mike, hoping to see them again. However, it turns out she is braver than she could have imagined, as she stood up to Sabrina after Sigrid, Frank and Ivy and Idina were captured.

## Technical Basis

### Basis

Ellie is based on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway's Katie. Katie is a 0-4-0T built by Sir Arthur Heywood in 1896 for the Duke of Westminster's Eaton Hall Railway. It came to the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in 1916 and left in 1919. Few photographs survive of it working in Cumbria, however the remains of the locomotive returned to the railway in 1982 after spells at Llewellyn's Miniature Railway, Southport and the Fairbourne Railway, Wales. In 1992, the R&ER Heritage Group formed, with an aim to restore the locomotive to original condition. After many years of fundraising and work, Katie’s rebuild was completed in 2017. She is usually on display in the railway’s museum at Ravenglass, but is frequently steamed for special events and ‘driver for a fiver’ days in the summer. She has also made several visits away from Ravenglass since her return to steam, including the Beamish Open Air Museum, the Fairbourne Railway, and the Kirklees Light Railway.

### Livery

Ellie is painted pink with green lining, and later has her number (7) on her sides.

## Trivia

* The preferred voice actress for Ellie is Devyn Dalton, who voiced Ocellus from *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic*.
Cowcatcher

**Cowcatchers** (also known as a **cattle catcher**, **cow plow** or **pilot**) are devices used by the engines to deflect obstacles from the tracks as they pull their trains. They are usually fastened onto the engines under the front buffers, and push the obstacles aside when the engines run through it. Most cowcatchers are painted in the colour corresponding to their engine's livery. In many countries, cowcatchers are used on engines almost exclusively.

Traditional cowcatchers are a series of metal plates arranged in a grill pattern, often built at a sloped angle to deflect debris. Some engines are also equipped with streamlined casings with cowcatchers known as skirts to cut through the wind. Many diesel and electric engines also have these, though these are more durable than most steam engine skirt casings, and can double as Snowploughs in winter. Some engines also have guard irons, pieces of metal arranged to protect the front and back of the wheels and occasionally the sides. These variations only cover a bare minimum of the wheels for safety.

For some parts of the line, such as the Quarry Tramroad, engines are required to wear cowcatchers via law. When Thomas got caught by a policeman for running the line without cowcatchers (and side-plates), the Fat Controller brought Toby to run the line since he had cowcatchers.
Big Mickey

**Big Mickey** is the name a large hammerhead crane which works at Brendam Docks, alongside Cranky. Before this, it was based on at Bigg City Port and was named in honor of it's operator, Michael "Big Mickey" Bateson, who was well known for his large physique and booming voice, after he died in the Bigg City Fire of 1922.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Big Mickey is based on a USN 20t Tower Crane. Kobe, a red crane in Tanzania and a faceless purple crane in Rio De Janeiro are other members of this class.

### Livery

During the third, fourth and fifth series, Big Mickey was painted cool grey. Since the sixth series, however, it has been repainted warm grey.

Arlesburgh-Harwick Extension

The **Arlesburgh-Harwick Extension** is technically part of the Little Western, but treated as it's own branch line.

## History

The line that went from Tidmouth to Harwick was planned as construction during the First World War. Traffic went up and down all the time. However, after the war, traffic ceased going up to Harwick, and the line was abandoned. Though the reopened for WW2 and was shut down permanently after that. This proved to be the perfect hiding spot for Burnett to take the Dean Single from the W&S, Tasha. When she was found by Duck and Oliver - and they found a truck that Douglas shunted by mistake - the line wasn't ever used again. However, when the Arlesdale Railway opened, Sir Topham Hatt decided to open up the Harwick extension, which saw a tourist attraction in the form of a beach.

While there are engines allocated here, it's not too uncommon for those on the Little Western to help out occasionally.

Something Before The Past

We… we always talk like we know everything, we always think… all of this has a meaning… But now, tell me, what's my meaning… The One Behind All, yes, me, I ask you, reader, what the Hell is the meaning of life? What's the reason to live if it's only to die? Why can't I know it too? I am what you call Omnipotent, yet, I don't know everything. We are in this empty place, the Prologue is about to start, I don't really know what shit is going to happen once I am out there alone. Beyond this place, there are the **Pillars**. I don't really know what their role is, they just are there to keep the **Councilation** stable. But then there is me. Yes, me, I am far beyond them, yet, I feel more useless than them. Explain me what the fuck is the reason of my existence. I have to start the story, then what? Then nothing! I will simply disappear, there is no fucking reason on even starting it… I guess… that's just for me, my creator, that guy that is writing this shitty story, is probably thinking about something big, but I know that after that I will simply disappear and I will never come back. Unless… unless he knows what to do with me once he will stay without any idea, now that I think about it…

Beppe

**Beppe the Lost Coach** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and is Lorenzo's coach.

## Backstory

When Lorenzo got lost in the Old Italian Mines, Beppe got lost with him. The pair were later rediscovered by Oliver and rescued by Stefano after being left hanging over a cliff by the sea.

## Personality

Beppe is Lorenzo's small coach - he loves to sensationalise situations and idolises Lorenzo. Beppe and Lorenzo are like an operatic double act and often break out into song. Beppe sings the bass notes to Lorenzo's tenor voice.

He is well-behaved and always in a musical mood and when Lorenzo gets singing, he does not hesitate to join in, though the two usually choose to do so regardless of their surroundings (almost trapping them with a cave collapse). Much like any coach, Beppe does not take nonsense from Lorenzo lightly and the tender engine's curiosity and quest for fame usually ends up annoying him in one way or the other. Like other small characters, Beppe prefers thinking of himself as useful despite his size and always has Lorenzo's back in the end, though he also sees Gina as a good substitute.

Beppe greatly believes in superstitions, the most recent one being luck. He and Lorenzo often do things that are said to be good luck, such as turning right, holding their breaths in tunnels, and wearing good luck charms. Even though most people and engines say that there is no such thing as luck and that luck does not have to do with anything, Lorenzo and Beppe always believe that luck is always around.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Beppe is based on the Turkish Sultan Abdulaziz's private coach, built in 1866 by the Metropolitan Railway Carriage & Wagon Company. The carriage was found abandoned in a shed and was restored by the Rahmi M. Koç Museum in Istanbul, Turkey.

Unlike his basis, Beppe does not possess a rear balcony, his roof is lowered and his front is made up of a 4x2 grid as opposed to a 5x2 grid.

### Livery

Beppe is painted vibrant orange with powder blue panels and gold trim. Along with his yellow wheels, his roof is black and he has brass nameplates on his sides.

## Differences between the episodes and the series

* In Digs and Discoveries, Lorenzo and Beppe were found by Thomas. In this series, it was Oliver who found them.

## Technical Details

### Real-Life History

Fenchurch was built to the design of the London Brighton & South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) Stroudley A1 Class 0-6-0 tank locomotives and was built in 1872.

Caroline

**Caroline the Vintage Car** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and is owned by the Norramby Road Museum. Before this, she was owned by the Elsbridge Cricket Club.

## Backstory

Caroline was once owned by the Elsbridge Cricket Club and would come across the Coffee Pots and Elizabeth. Unfortunately the cricketers proved to be reckless drivers and one day, the cricket club owner's son drove Caroline so fast that she nearly crashed into Phyllis. As a result, poor Caroline ended in a ditch. Luckily, Elizabeth and Bertram come along and pulled her out whilst the club owner's son was taken off the team for at least a month. Caroline ended up with a dislike for railways for years.

All that changed when Stepney was visiting from the Bluebell Railway and a cricket ball landed in one of his trucks. Stepney puffed away without they and their crew realising. Some of the players piled into Caroline and gave chase. By the time, they caught up to Stepney, poor Caroline was worn out. Luckily, Stepney was kind enough to take Caroline and the players back to the club. After that, Caroline no longer saw trains as silly.

## Personality

Caroline enjoys taking leisurely drives along the beautiful Sudrian countryside. She dislikes being driven along the road too fast however, as it causes her engine to overheat. She is very calm in nature and appreciates the engines. She loves the occasional picnic where she is parked for the duration. She used to think railway engines were silly until she discovered how they can save the wear and tear on her wheels.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Cleo

**Cleo the Road Engine** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse.

## Backstory

Cleo was newly built by Ruth Sam sometime after she moved to the windmill.

## Personality

Being newly-built, Cleo has very little experience. She can easily be confused or scared when faced with something she is unfamiliar with, such as when she first encountered snow. Cleo is also very excitable and enjoys racing, though this sometimes leads to trouble due to her inexperience. Cleo is very impressionable and curious, and she enjoys any chance to prove herself. Her relationship with Ruth is similar to a mother and child or siblings.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Cleo is not based on any known real life vehicle. She appears to have been partially inspired by the "Unique Futuristic Steam Train" - a concept designed by Ricardo Chamizo which can run on or off the rails.

In the show, Cleo is relatively the same size as a typical car while having an open air seat for Ruth to drive her. She can also elevate on a piston and rotate, giving her back-to-front steering. Cleo is also a front-engine vehicle, with her cargo storage being in her back.

### Livery

Cleo is painted red with gold bands and black wheels. She also has numerous metallic fittings in her engine and across her exterior, while her interior has brown and red upholstery.
David

**David (née Lorry 3) the Serious Lorry** is one of the deuteragonists of the Seventyverse and is the third member of the Pack.

## Backstory

Lorry 3 was originally loaned to the North Western Railway to help with an increased workload, along with Lorry 1, Lorry 2 and Lorry 4. Whilst helping to deliver fruit and vegetables, he struck a cord with Farmer David Crowe and decided to be called David after him. After Horace was sent packing, David, Alex and Jasmine (as Lorries 2 and 4 were now called) joined the Pack and have remained there ever since.

## Relationships

### Poppy

David is a bit taken aback by Poppy's more firecracker ways, especially with how young she is compared to the rest of them. However, he does appreciate having her around.

### Horace

David does not approve of Horace's comments towards the railway, and is glad when he is rejected for the Pack.

## Personality

David is a hard-worker and takes his duties seriously.

## Technical Details

### Basis

David appears to be based on Foden OG range lorries, which were once a common sight around railway yards. Horace, Poppy, Alex and Jasmine share this basis.

### Livery

David is painted green. His registration plates are black with the registration number "LOR 3" painted in white.

## Differences between the TV show and the series

* In the original show Lorry 3 was as horrid as Lorry 1 and Lorry 2 and was sent away after being overloaded with flour and breaking down at the level crossing. In this series, David is a hard worker and he and Alex would join the Pack.
* In the original show, Lorry 3 was painted brownish red like Lorry 1 and Lorry 3. Here, David is painted green just like Lorry 3 was in a board game.

## Trivia

* David is based on Lorry 3 from the original TV series.
* David's registration number is LOR 3 and his Pack number is 3.
* David's preferred voice actor is Max Charles, who plays Kion from The Lion Guard.
	+ At first, Tobyandmavisforever thought Collet would be Kion's voice, but she decided against it as it seemed like a waste for Kion's voice to be wasted on a deceased character.
Carnforth

**Carnforth** is where the former London, Midland and Scottish Railway motive power depot was situated in Lancaster, Lancashire.

In 1967, the former motive power depot was preserved to become Steamtown Carnforth, which enabled mainline-certified steam engines to be based there between railtours. Sir William McAlpine (then the second owner of Flying Scotsman) was a shareholder in the company based at the depot. The museum owned a few former industrial shunting engines and three locomotive wrecks from Barry Scrapyard in South Wales.

In 1998, Steamtown Carnforth closed. But the former motive power depot is still in use under control of the West Coast Railway Company, which operates steam and Diesel railtours across Britain.

## Backstory

When Culdee was selected to take the inspector up the mountain, Catherine was one of the two coaches selected for the trial run (the other one was Winifred). Catherine was the nearest to Culdee and could sense her nervousness. After the railway was opened and it was decided that just one coach should be assigned to each engine for safety reasons, Catherine became Culdee's coach and the two have made a great team ever since.

## Relationships

Arlesdale Green

**Arlesdale Green** is a small station on the Arlesdale Railway, serving the nearby hamlet of The Green.

## History

On leaving Marthwaite, the line traverses the belt of woodland for nearly two miles where in 1967, the Fat Clergyman got drenched. The Small Controller now takes great care to have all overhanging branches regularly cut back. This is especially important at the passing loop laid in the woods at the approach to Arlesdale Green, which was installed prior to 1976. The loop had to be sited here because there was no room for it at the actual station. The line there is on a narrow site and curves sharply to thread its way between two awkward outcrops.

The Green is one of several settlements in the Arlesdale District and is the main residential area. The Mid Sodor Railway had no station here at first; Arlesdale, they felt, was near enough and only after repeated urging did they grudgingly lay a patch of gravel on the line-side for a “platform”, and dump on it a nondescript wooden shed to provide an unstaffed Halt. It was so uninviting that few people used it. The "platform" became weed-grown and the hut decrepit.

The story goes that one day a local farmer having attended a sale bought a second-hand hen-house. The vendor promised to send it to him by rail on a certain date. The farmer sent a boy to collect it. When he arrived at the station, the boy loaded up the only hut he could see. Nobody noticed the mistake until the real henhouse arrived a couple of days late. Stories similar to this have been told in connection with other railways' station buildings.

With laughter echoing up and down the valley, the Mid Sodor hastily took steps to restore their image. They built a low platform with a gravelled surface similar to their station platforms elsewhere. They provided a station name board, too, and a neat corrugated iron shelter. By the time the Arlesdale Railway took over, however, there was nothing left but the weed-grown platform. The shelter had disappeared, having either disintegrated or become part of a potting shed in somebody's garden. The Railway Company contented themselves at first with re-edging the platform, laying down fresh gravel, and erecting a rustic fence.

Now, however, the station has been given a "face-lift". Mr. Fergus Duncan has built himself a house nearby, and improvements to the station reflect its new importance. The platform has been edged with stone slabs, and its gravelled surface replaced by one of asphalt; further, a building of granite off-cuts, similar to that of Ffarquhar Road, now provides shelter for intending passengers. Rambler roses and other climbing plants adorn the fencing, and the station is considered the most attractive on the line.

It was at Arlesdale Green that Willie's wool sacks came adrift, spread themselves over the track, and gave Rex an embarrassing accident.
Captain

**Captain the Lifeboat** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and is owned by the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre.

## Backstory

Captain was bought to Sodor when the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre was built to help with rescues out at sea. After Skiff stopped Sailor John from getting away with the treasure, Captain was used to take the police to Arlesburgh Harbour to arrest him. When Skiff and Sir Topham Hatt went missing after Skiff thought he saw a mermaid, Captain and Harold were sent to find them. Luckily, Skiff and Sir Topham Hatt hadn't gone far and Captain and Harold found them near Bluff's Cove.

## Personality

Captain is a lifeboat who resides at the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre in his own small shed, ready, willing, and always on hand raring for action in case of an emergency. He can easily be dispatched from his shed by means of a slipway, but often resides in the small dock at the Search and Rescue Centre too. Being a lifeboat, Captain knows that duty may call out at sea to help and rescue anyone at any time. Thus, he is always ready to go out to sea. He takes this role seriously and is highly assertive, confident, and is unfazed in the face of daring, dangerous missions, but is not made ostentatious or egotistical by his important responsibilities. He is level-headed, always knows what has to be done, and shows good leadership skills.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Captain is based on an ex-Royal National Lifeboat Institution twin-engined Liverpool-class Lifeboat. These originated in 1931 as a single-engine design, with the twin-engined version being built from 1945 to 1954. The class lasted in service until 1982, when "The Chieftain" was withdrawn from Barmouth Lifeboat Station. Unlike most Liverpools, which were carriage launched, Captain is launched from a slipway. Numerous examples of this class are preserved.

### Livery

Captain's cab is painted amber, his sides are blue and his hull is red. He is lined in white. He has a long, thin, yellow mast at the stern of his body.
Elsbridge

**Elsbridge** is a small town and station on Thomas' Branch Line located in the Els Valley, with a population of 4,500. The nearby River Els flows underneath the Elsbridge Viaduct and enters the Sudrian Sea at Knapford.

## History

Elsbridge serves as a junction station between Thomas' Branch Line and the Main Line. Trains from the Main Line frequently connect with Thomas' services at this station, arriving via the Loop Line.

The station has a large overhead footbridge, four platforms, with a canopy covering two, and five through tracks. The station has a small yard, which has an engine shed and a carriage shed.

## Differences between the Railway Series, the TV Series and the SeventyVerse

* In the Railway Series, Elsbridge is a small station in the middle of Thomas' branch line. In the TV series and the SeventyVerse, Elsbridge is the junction between Thomas' branch line and the Main Line.
Beau

**Beau the Old American Engine** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and works at a mine in Arizona in the United States.

## Backstory

When Canada hosted the Great Railway Show, Beau represented the United States in the Best Decorated Parade. When Beau mentioned he was at the opening of the Transcontinental Railroad, Rajiv called him a replica who was told to act like he was from the 19th century. Beau argued that there was a photograph of him at the opening ceremony with President Ulysses S. Grant. Beau finished in fourth place with the judges complementing his pride of his home, to which the old American engine felt flattered.

## Personality

Beau is a friendly sort of engine who claims to have witnessed the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in the late 1860s. However much of his claims hold water, of course, is highly questionable, as if he was around back then, would he have been the same engine as he was in the 1860s? Think of it as the Theseus' ship paradox, but in locomotive form. Anyway, regardless as to whether Beau is an actual Jupiter or a replica, he still often waxes poetic about the good old days. Most engines would rather dismiss him as an eccentric, senile kook.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Beau is based on the Baldwin 4-4-0s built for the Virginia & Truckee Railroad, specifically with the fittings currently fitted onto the No. 12 Genoa. Beau's livery, however, resembles the one worn currently by the Central Pacific No. 63 Leviathan replica. Other locomotives with liveries similar to Beau's include the Santa Cruz Railroad No. 3 Jupiter locomotive and Northern Central Railway's No. 17 York (minus the tender).

Beau has been slightly modified from his basis with buffers above his cowcatcher (which is flatter and shorter to accommodate them) and behind his tender, which also has a screw-link coupling. These features are possibly inspired by the Hanko–Hyvinkää Railway No. 3003 locomotive Hango, which was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1872, but was scrapped in 1911.

### Livery

Beau's livery is based on the current one worn by the Leviathan, as he is painted silver and red with gold lining. His boiler is painted silver, his cab is brown, his steam dome is gold, and his wheels, tender and cowcatcher are red. His name and number are painted on the sides of his tender and cab respectively in yellow. Unlike the Leviathan, his whistle is black instead of gold, and his lamp is gold instead of red, as is his sand dome.

## Differences between the episodes and the series

* In BWBA: The Movie, Beau was the engine who helped Thomas and Ace after the two derailed. In the Seventyverse, Beau was competing in the Great Railway Show in the Best Decorated Engine Parade.
Duchess

**Duchess of Loughborough** commonly known as **Duchess the Royal Engine** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and is owned by the British royal family.

## Backstory

Duchess was built as the prototype of the Coronation Classes, and ran passenger trains alongside her siblings on the LMS. When steam was phased out, the queen herself took an interest in her. Duchess became the royal engine ever since.

## Personality

Duchess is described as "a lovely, warm, bubbly sort of effervescent engine who is very anxious to get things right." Although friendly, she can be forgetful, and she strives to be on time. Her tendencies to hurry can sometimes make her seem like she has lost her manners. Despite this, she is good-hearted and very respectful, always looking to be the best she can.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Duchess is based on the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Coronation Class. Designed by William Stanier and built at Crewe Works between 1937 and 1948, these 4-6-2 tender locomotives were built for express passenger services and - on a test - were the most powerful steam locomotives ever used in Great Britain. They were in service until 1962 to 1964 when they were withdrawn from service and scrapped en masse. Three examples have been preserved, including No. 6229 Duchess of Hamilton at the National Railway Museum.

Duchess has some modifications from her original basis:

* Her smokebox, chimney, smoke deflectors and front frames are based on the Royal Scot Class.
* She has an LNER corridor tender of the same design as Flying Scotsman's.
* She also has circular buffers as opposed to oval ones, as well as a single chimney as opposed to the double chimney used on the Coronation class.

### Livery

Duchess is painted cream with gold lining and boiler bands. Her wheels, running plate, and buffer shanks are painted dark red, while her front bufferbeam is black. She has two golden nameplates with red backing, one on each side of her boiler, as well as a removable crown symbol on her front end when carrying the Royal Family. Her company's initials, LMS, are painted on her tender in gold with a red drop shadow, while her number is painted in gold on the side of her cab.

## Trivia

* Duchess number is No. 2020, which is a reference to the year *Thomas and The Royal Engine* was released.
Carl

**Carl the Achensee Engine** is a supporting character in the SeventyVerse and is part of the Culdee Fell Railway.

## Backstory

Carl lived a relatively uneventful life on a mountain railway, but was unfortunately withdrawn one day and sent to a scrapyard. Not long after that, Addison snatched him up as part of her collective. When it was revealed the Culdee Fell Railway had acquired two diesels, Addison decided to try her take over of Sodor again. Carl was far more sneaky than the engines of the first takeover, but was surprised by how genuine the engines were, and even tried to go against his colleague to let them go. Like Henney, Silver and Ellie, he defects from the legion and joins the Culdee Fell Railway as their number 11.

## Personality

(Details on Carl's personality to be added)

## Technical Details

### Basis

Carl is based on the five 0-4-0RT geared steam cog locomotives on the Achensee Railway, a 1-meter narrow gauge tourist railway in Austria. These locomotives were originally built by Wiener Lokomotivfabrik.

### Livery

Carl is painted dark green with red lining.

## Trivia

* The preferred voice actor for Carl is ???

Brenda

**Brenda (née Byron) the Bulldozer** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and the eighteenth member of the Pack.

## Backstory

Byron joined not that long after Nigel did. However, Byron felt he was a bit incomplete. For the longest time, he couldn't put his wheels on it. But slowly bit surely... *she* realised that she was a girl. Byron renamed herself Brenda after a rebuild.

## Personality

Brenda is a boisterous bulldozer with a big blade. She likes nothing better than showing the other machines on how to get the job done. She is very proud and does not like to waste her talents on jobs she feels are beneath her stature. She is very tidy, perfectionistic and pernickety, and will go to great lengths to stop anyone and anything from ruining her flat ground - Max and Monty especially. Brenda is the envy of all the other vehicles...or, at least, she thinks she is. She has a booming voice and likes to work hard. She is both friendly and strong. She takes great pride in her work, and Miss Jenny remarks that "nobody can keep things level like our Brenda." She can easily make assumptions if unlevel ground is involved, but is apologetic in the end if she finds the truth out.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Before being rebuilt, Byron was based on a Caterpillar bulldozer from the late 1930's. In her rebuilt state, Brenda is based on a Caterpillar D9H bulldozer.

### Livery

Byron was painted yellow with a black cab. The number "18" was painted on the sides of his cab in yellow. When rebuilt and having come out as a girl, Brenda is painted in a turquoise blue livery, with a pale yellow cab and the number 18 written on the blue section behind her cab in a matching yellow.

## Difference between the original show and the series

* In the original show, Byron and Brenda were separate characters. In this series, however, Byron and Brenda are the same character as Byron came out as female and changed her name to Brenda.

## Trivia

* Whilst Brenda has a canon voice actress: Teresa Gallagher, for Byron, the preferred voice actor is Rob Rackstraw who voiced Big Mickey in the CGI era.
Burnett Stone

**Burnett Stone** is a supporting character in the SeventyVerse. He was Tasha's driver and Tasha Stone's husband.

## Backstory

Burnett was bullied in school by Jacob Hockings and this got worse when Jacob found out he had a girlfriend named Tasha. Later on, Burnett would build an engine named Tasha, who was nicknamed Lady. He and Tasha drove her for years. One day Burnett and Tasha confronted Jacob Hockings for how he treated the engines at the Aluminum Works. However, Tasha had a heart attack and died, causing Burnett to have depression.

Several years later, Duck and Oliver found him and Tasha.

## Trivia

* Due to the passing of Peter Fonda in 2019, the preferred voice actor for Burnett Stone is Colin Mochrie, who voiced Burnett Stone in the 20th Anniversary reading by Rainbow Sun Productions.
Darcy

**Darcy the Tunnel Boring Machine** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and is the eighth member of the Pack.

## Personality

Darcy is clumsy, but well-meaning, always doing her best even if others do not believe in her. She can feel distant at times, but good support always brings her back in the end. Additionally, Darcy is very knowledgeable about tunnel boring, and takes her work very seriously, as shown when she warned Monty about the unstable ground above the old mineshafts.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Darcy is based on a Roadheader EBZ-200 tunnel boring machine with an added cab. Alternatively, she could be based on the design with a similarly shaped, albeit smaller cab.

### Livery

Darcy is painted yellow all over, with a red stripe along the bottom of her cab and a turquoise blue stripe above. Her visor frame is brown and she has a chrome stepladder.
Cronk Viaduct

**Cronk Viaduct** is a large two-track viaduct west of Cronk that carries the Main Line over the Hawin Ab.

## History

The Viaduct was built to connect the towns of Maron and Cronk. The viaduct underwent significant repairs following a storm in 1982, as its arches needed strengthening, which caused delays for Henry and James. Gordon lost his dome here in 1984.
