Harvey

**Harvey the Crane Engine** is one of the deuteragonists of the Seventyverse, and the twenty seventh engine on the North Western Railway. However, he was the sixteenth engine purchased for the North Western Railway.

## Backstory

Not much is known about Harvey's backstory, but he did work in the highlands. It's implied he's met some engines Donald and Douglas have met before.

## Knapford Yards crew

### Charlie

Not much is known about Harvey and Charlie's relationship, but Harvey is polite when Charlie is telling his jokes. He does get him to buckle down and get to work though.

### Stanley

Not much is known about Stanley and Harvey's relationship, but he finds his professionalism in the yard to be very helpful, especially with how big the North Western Railway had grown.

### Stafford

Not much is known about the relationship with Harvey and Stafford, but the former finds the latter a bit too quiet sometimes.

### Diesel

At the time of Harvey's arrival, Diesel was the yard's station pilot. The two worked really well together, and Harvey was patient in listening to Diesel's past. Diesel also proved to be a good mentor to Harvey around this time. However, when Arry and Bert came to Sodor and Diesel went to keep an eye on them, the duo fell apart. Diesel started to close himself off from various engines for reasons that most of them don't know or understand. Harvey was also an unfortunate victim of Diesel's lies in *A Most Singular Engine.* While it was lucky that Harvey and Daisy turned out okay in the end, Harvey had some serious trust issues with Diesel over that.

## Odd Jobs crew

### Amanda

Harvey had known Amanda before, as she often dropped by the highlands when steam was active. She often caught Harvey up on all the latest news on the mainland, and he would get her to slow down a bit and take in the sights.

### Paxton

Not much is known about Harvey and Paxton's relationship, but he appreciates his gentle and kind nature.

## Other relationships

### Porter

Not much is known about their relationship, but Harvey admires Porter for being able to stand tall against someone teasing him.

### Daisy

Daisy and Harvey were at odds with each other due to some lies by Diesel. However, during an incident where some extra passengers needed to be picked up and a crate fell onto the line, the two were able to work together to help each other.

### Bill and Ben

The two had been seen teasing Harvey about his hook and trying to go fishing. However, Harvey was able to get the upper buffer by proving how useful he was in the twins' eyes.

### Samson

Samson was unfortunately very bossy to Harvey when they were trying to work in Scruff's absence. Though the two have eventually patched things up, Harvey has trust issues with Samson.

## Personality

Harvey is a very steady and thoughtful tank engine, always willing to lend a helping hook. That being said, he can sometimes become insecure about himself, such as when Bill and Ben were teasing him on going fishing.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Harvey is based on Dübs Crane Engine No. 4101, nicknamed "Dubsy", built in Glasgow, Scotland. "Dubsy" is presently based at the Foxfield Railway in Blythe Bridge, Staffordshire, England.

### Livery

Harvey is painted maroon with yellow and red lining and brown, square, wooden buffers. His name is painted on his sides in yellow and his number (27) is painted on the sides of his crane arm, also in yellow.

## Differences from the episodes

* Harvey wasn't mocked by the other engines upon his arrival to Sodor. In fact, he makes fast friends with some of them.
* Harvey rescued Toby from the River Els bridge, not Percy from Bulgy's bridge.
