## Isabel & Dulcie

Isabel

Dulcie

Isabel and Dulcie are two Great Western autocoaches pulled by Oliver on The Little Western. Isabel joined Oliver and Toad when they escaped from the Other Railway, and Dulcie was later rescued by Sir Topham Hatt and given to Oliver to help run the Little Western.

## Bio:

Isabel worked with Oliver and Toad on a branch line in the West Country. In 1967, the branch line was closed and Oliver's crew plotted an escape to the Island of Sodor . They were nearly caught by diesels several times, and eventually made it to Barrow-in-Furness, where Oliver ran out of coal. Shortly afterwards, Douglas helped the group escape across the bridge to Sodor and stored them at Crovan's Gate; Oliver's crew hid inside Isabel during the journey. Sir Topham Hatt then had the three repaired and repainted for work on the Arlesburgh Branch Line.

### Specials:

* TAOS: World War Sodor - An Eagle Story \*Isabel only : cameo\*

## Technical Details:

### Basis:

Isabel and Dulcie are based on British Railways (BR) Hawksworth autocoaches, which were used in push-pull service on branch lines - while designed by Hawksworth for the Great Western Railway, they were never built until after British Railways was formed. The autocoaches were efficient because it eliminated the need for the engine to run around to the other end of the train to turn around. Fifteen Hawksworth autocoaches are preserved by heritage railways, such as the Llangollen Railway in North Wales.

Gina

Gina is a Tank Engine from Italy.

## Biography

Gina, along with the other international engines, accidentally arrived on Sodor when the ferry they were travelling on stopped at Sodor instead of the Mainland. After the engines realised their mistake, Gina ordered the engines back onto the ship. She was also the first to notice that one of the international engines, Ashima, was missing from the ship.

Gina competed in the Shunting Challenge alongside Ivan, Raul, Thomas and Ashima. During the competition, her flatbeds were derailed by Vinnie when he was chasing Philip throughout the yard.

After the Great Railway Show ended, Gina left the Mainland and returned to Italy.

During Thomas' adventures in Italy, she served as his guide, but his constant misinterpretations proved to be a constant annoyance. She once found him charging out of an abandoned mine, and ended up derailed and broken. The two managed to escape being buried, and she told Thomas that the voice in the mines were his own echoes. After a meeting with Ester, she joined Thomas in collecting the Sodor Construction Company, who were called in by Ester. Thomas soon became jealous when Jack found a mosaic on his first day, but everyone became impressed with him when he found Lorenzo the lost engine and his coach, Beppe. Gina was dismayed when it seemed that Thomas was returning to Sodor after this escapade, but it turns out he was just ready for more peace and quiet, though he was curious on Lorenzo and Beppe's wherabouts.

Gina was chosen to take Dame Bella Canto to a concert at The Colosseum, but she was tricked into taking Beppe by Lorenzo, who took Dame Bella in a larger coach while she and Beppe took her orchestra. Lorenzo soon got lost, but Gina and Beppe found him after delivering the orchestra in time for the concert.

When Thomas lost his voice in attempts to practice opera, Gina would have missed Stefano if the little blue tank engine had not found a different way.

## Personality

Sweet and stylish, Gina can match the boys pound for pound when it comes to shunting trucks in the yard. She is very proud of her Italian heritage, and loves working on archaeological digs to uncover more about the history of her cherished homeland. Gina does not suffer fools gladly, and will often grow irritable when someone acts like they know it all - particularly about her areas of expertise. She also doesn't like it when someone implies that she "huffs and puffs". Nonetheless, she is loyal and caring, and will always set grudges aside for the sake of helping others. She also shows that despite Thomas' antics and mishaps, she truly enjoys his visits to Italy. Due to working on archaeological jobs, Gina has devoloped a sense of annoyance towards superstitious beliefs, and often rolls her eyes over topics such as luck as she prefers to follow commonsense ways of doing things.

## Bio:

Bulgy lives on Sodor. He used to be a bus, but after he attempted to steal Duck and Oliver's passengers by pretending to be a railway bus, and got stuck under a bridge after trying to take a short cut. He was subsequently turned into a henhouse and placed near the bridge, which is now nicknamed Bulgy's Bridge.[1]

Bulgy was later given a second chance and brought back to the road to help with passengers while Thomas and Emily needed repairs. Unfortunately, his driver brought him back to his field for the night after he was restored and the chickens who had lived in him nestled in his luggage racks and caused trouble the following morning. Under Emily's suggestion, he decided to become a mobile vegetable stand.

Skarloey Slate Quarry

The **Skarloey Slate Quarry** or sometimes known as **The Incline Railway** was a quarry and mine on the Skarloey Railway.

## History and Operations

The Skarloey Railway was originally built to serve a copper mine at Ward Fell owned by the Crovan's Gate Mining Company. By 1900, it seemed the copper veins were running out. Miners searching for further copper in the foothills came upon good slate. The Company’s main interest was in copper, but they had no objection to using slate as a secondary freight. They lost interest, however, when the copper ran out at last, and sold out in 1909 to Mr. Handel Brown. Slate boomed during World War I, but slumped badly afterwards, with the quarry running at a loss from 1924.

The line south from Skarloey station Yard is now a forbidden area. Before the Ministry of Defence bought it in 1960, it was pleasant to walk (with due permission), through the tumbledown gate and along the track leading to the quarries. The line had been built for mineral traffic only, and was not well kept and true to gauge. This explains why Sir Handel with his, then, narrow wheel treads slipped down to the sleepers between two loosely spiked rails.

This section was never part of the main line, seen and passed by the Board of Trade Inspector for passenger traffic. It wound along the edge of the escarpment, and from time to time people would get splendid views of the valley below. Then comes the sidings where engines left their empty wagons, and waited for loaded ones to come down. Here water was channelled from a mountain stream so that the tanks of waiting engines could be filled.

In 1958,a breakaway on the incline occurred, and Peter Sam was damaged.
Haultraugh

**Haultraugh** is a village and seaside resort located on Sodor's west coast, which is served by the Little Western.

## History

The derivation of this place name is uncertain. "Traugh" means a sandy beach or low-lying foreshore, but "Haul" is obscure. Most authorities agree that it is probably a corruption or simplification of a person’s name, but they are sharply divided as to which. It is most likely that "Haul" or "Hal" is a simplification of "Harold", for there is a strong local tradition that it was here that Harold the Black, son of King Godred MacHarold, landed in 1014 to reclaim his father’s kingdom. Harold ruled Sodor and Man for 20 years (1014-1034). There is certainly a good firm sandy foreshore here favourable for a landing from longships, so Hal’s Beach is a reasonable interpretation of the place's name.

The village is a pleasant summer resort with good clean firm sands. It is rapidly growing in popularity with visitors and holidaymakers. Bathing, however, can be dangerous as tidal currents in the Sudrian Sea are treacherous. To cater to visitors an open-air sea bathing pool has been constructed alongside the harbour jetty. The station is an island platform with a shelter and a line running either side.

Bulgy wedged himself under the second bridge south of the station. After he was freed, he was turned into a henhouse in a field about ½ mile north of Haultraugh station. Dilly the Duck settled here.
Billy

Billy is an orange saddle tank engine with prominent buckteeth, who works as a shunter on the Island of Sodor with his brother Charlie.

## Bio

When Billy first arrived on Sodor in 2007, Thomas was asked by Sir Topham Hatt to show Billy around. But Billy misconstrued Thomas' advice for bossiness and so refused to listen to him, causing Billy to fail to complete his deliveries. At last, Thomas lost patience and told Billy to do his own thing. Billy was delighted, but his happiness was short-lived as he swiftly ran out of coal and water. In the future, Billy paid attention to advice, worked hard with every job he did and was happy that Thomas helped him as his new friend.

## Persona:

Billy is a careless engine, who can be grumpy, stubborn, impatient, silly, troublesome, whiny and bratty. Although he is bubbling with enthusiasm and keen to get stuck in, he tends to act before he thinks things through, and can even end up keen to start one job before properly finishing another. He can be inattentive, does not always like being told what to do, and may try to work independently when, perhaps, it's best he not. He is often boisterous and tends to be overconfident in his abilities, thinking he need not listen to advice from more experienced engines. Nevertheless, his enthusiasm is well-meaning and, when he keeps calm, thinks things through, pays attention and follows instructions carefully, Billy can properly harness his energy and focus on what he is doing so that he can be a Really Useful Engine. If he ever gets snappy, his infectious get-up-and-go and burning desire to be useful will shine through and make it hard for any engine to really stay upset with him for very long.

## Technicial Details

### Basis

Billy is based on a Manning Wardle L Class 0-6-0ST. Billy's basis can be found in Manning Wardle saddle tank Charwelton, found on the Kent and East Sussex Railway.

### Livery

* Billy is painted dark orange with green and yellow lining. He has black nameplates with his name in gold on each side of his saddle tank.

Ada, Jane and Mabel

Ada

Jane

Mabel

**Ada, Jane and** **Mabel** are three open carriages who were designed and built for the Skarloey Railway.

## Bio:

Ada, Jane and Mabel live on Sodor and are coaches used on the Skarloey Railway.

## Appearances:

### The Adventures on Sodor:

#### Season 2:

* What Place is Right for You?, Logs Away \*Ada only : cameo\*

## Technical Details:

### Basis:

Ada, Jane and Mabel are based on the Talyllyn Railway carriages 11, 12 and 13. Carriages 11 and 12 were originally built as two of several Quarrymen's Carriages for the Penrhyn Quarry Railway in Wales, six of which were acquired by the Talyllyn Railway in 1953. Carriages "C" and "D" were originally placed together on a bogie underframe supplied by W.G. Allen Ltd. of Tipton to become carriage No. 9. In 1955, a new body was constructed for No. 9 and carriage "D" was given a new chassis to become No. 11. Another ex-Penrhyn carriage (possibly "C") was given a similar treatment and became No. 12 in 1956. No. 13 was built in 1957 by the Talyllyn Railway to a somewhat larger and more substantially-built design. In a couple years carriages 11 and 12 were rebuilt to a similar design and all three were rebuilt again with roofs in the mid-1960's.

In the first series, several other coaches share the same basis as Annie and Clarabel.

Simon

## Bio:

In 1964, Simon was pulling a small goods train during the night passing through Gloucester station, when he was suddenly ambushed by Shaw Savill and taken hostage to prevent the DJD from trying to take the steam engines away. Simon was shunted to the back of the yards by Maria with brake vans locked on hard to prevent him from escaping. The following night, Duchess approached him asking if he had a name and he introduced himself to her, from there Duchess told Simon that she was going to help set him free. She instructed Barry to move a line of vans in front of her to use to hide Simon from view from Shaw, Maria, and Lucas. They were nearly caught when Shaw questioned Duchess what she was doing with the vans, but thankfully he didn't think much of it. Duchess smuggled Simon to safety where she informed Roderick that she was setting Simon free, even though he was set free Roderick told Duchess that it doesn't change anything of what was going to happen to her and the rest of her group, Duchess understood and explain that she and the others want to get as far away from Shaw as possible. After Duchess went back to the group, Simon told Roderick that they do seem like nice engines and to go easy on them. After the steam engines were apprehended, Roderick instructed Goyle to take Richard and some rolling stock back to Eastleigh Works as well escort Simon there as a means of apology for getting drag into the conflict. The following morning Simon and Goyle arrived at Eastleigh Works where they met Ben who asked them what they were doing at the works to which Goyle told him about the steam engine and rolling stock that were being returned back to the scrapyard as well as Simon brought in to help with the shunting work before he left. Ben introduced himself to Simon and instructed him to put the old LBSCR coaches to the scrap line. As Simon went about his new duty, he didn't notice Reginald eyeing him from behind the scrap piles.

Gordon's Hill

"**Gordon's Hill**" is the nickname of the steep grade on the Main Line, between Wellsworth and Maron. It got its name after Gordon stalled there while pulling a goods train in 1923.

## History

Over a distance of five miles (eight kilometres), the line climbs around 280 feet (hundred metres) from Suddery Junction to reach Maron, meaning a gradient of 1:75 and a severe test for engines on the North Western Railway.

Bankers are often required to help trains up the hill. Edward is usually seen banking engines on the hill when they are stuck halfway up, though occasionally other engines such as Toby and Duck have done the job. However, it can run the risk of being chased by a runaway train or rear ending the train they are helping - something Duck found out the hard way twice, once with Edward and again with Henry.

When the railway was first built, this stretch was made even more difficult by strong winds blown in by the sea. This was attempted to be countered by the planting of trees on either side of the line, but in autumn there can be the additional risk of slippery leaves on the line, as James soon discovered.

The foot of the hill is also the site of many crashes, such as in 2012, when a calliope ran away from Percy and came off the rails at the bottom of the hill or when 2007, a new car for Sir Topham Hatt ran away from Thomas.
Big City Engine

* Season 2+
* 1963: Times of Change

**Big City Engine**, also known as **The Foreign Engine**, is a smug express tender engine who worked on the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and later British Railways.

## Bio

The Big City Engine once stayed the night at Tidmouth with Gordon and Duck. The three engines were involved in an argument about the confusion between the mainline stations in London. Gordon remembered a trip to King's Cross (LNER) in his youth, and believed that London was restricted to Kings Cross. The Big City Engine thought that London was Euston (LMS). Duck thought that London was Paddington (GWR), as he had once worked there. Unbeknownst to them, they were all correct, as there were a number of stations in London for different railway companies. Even so, Gordon and Duck still continued the argument when the Big City Engine went back home.

In 1963, Big City Engine was complaining to Harold that Gordon and Duck didn't believe the Euston station, and told that don't trust anyone apart from LMS.

In 2012, Big City Engine reserved into Vicarston Station to take a return service to the Midland Railway from there he had a small conversation with Henry only to forget what he was going to say when he noticed Madison and puffed out of the station annoyed to be in the presents of a southern engine.

## Appearances:

### The Adventures on Sodor:

#### Season 2:

* The Break Up \*cameo\*, Three's A Crowd

## Technical Details:

The Big City Engine is based on an original build London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) "Patriot" Class 4-6-0. These engines were given the nickname "Baby Scots" because the design was based on the Royal Scot Class.

All of the original "Patriot Class" engines were scrapped. However, a replica of no. 5551, to be named "The Unknown Warrior", is currently under construction.

## Trivia:

Big City Engine is very racist just like Alfred.
Pip and Emma

Pip on the left and Emma on the right

'***Philippa**, nicknamed "'***Pip**", and **Emma** are two diesel-electric engines which make up an InterCity 125 High Speed Train.

## Personalities

Pip and Emma are kind and friendly though sometimes boastful and slightly rude along with reminding someone's embarrassing incident. They quickly became good friends with the other engines. Although they suffered problems with their cooling systems, they are efficient and reliable.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Pip and Emma are based on a British Rail (BR) Class 43 High Speed Train (HST). This class holds the world record for fastest rail speed for a diesel-electric engine: 238 kph or 148 mph, which was set in 1987. The majority of these are still in service, while others, for example, the HSTs that served the Great Western, East Coast and Midland Mainlines have been withdrawn after forty years of service.

## VA:

* Pip-Liz Productions5784
* Emma-Serena-Leo Harper

## Trivia:

* In 1986, during the part where Pip and Emma were chatting about heading to Sodor, Pip complained about having trouble with her cooling system. This is likely to symbolise that even newer generation diesel can still suffer technical problems.
Island of Sodor

Island of Sodor, or The Island of Sodor is an island in the United Kingdom. It is located in the Irish Sea, between England's Lake District and the Isle of Man.

## History:

An Irish missionary named Luoc and some companions set out for Man in coracles, but Luoc fell asleep, was blown off course, and ended up on the shore in Suddery bay. The locals treated him well and he built a "keeill". He preached to the locals, and a church was built on the site. He is remembered in the city’s motto and coat of arms, the latter of which shows him as a bishop, standing in a coracle holding a crosier. Suddery later became the ancient capital of Sodor.

Sodor's railways began with a railway from Ward Fell to Balladwail, opened in 1806. The further rail investment in the island, such as building the North Western Railway during 1914 and 1915, later led to the island's growth and prosperity as a tourist area and for the local industries.

A government-funded joining of the Island's standard gauge railways occurred in 1914. The railways concerned were the Sodor and Mainland, the Tidmouth, Knapford and Elsbridge Railway and the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway. In 1948, it became the North Western Region of British Railways, but this term was never used as the railway kept its operating independence. With privatisation in the early 1990s, it officially became the North Western Railway.
Derek

Derek is a diesel engine.

David Maidment

## Bio:

Derek was built around 1962-1965 although its unknown what happened to him before he arrived on Sodor. Derek arrived on Sodor to work in the China Clay Pits.

## Appearances:

### The Adventures on Sodor:

#### Season 1:

* A Change for Martha \*mentioned\*, Grow Up and Swap Around, Crank it Cargo

### Specials:

* TAOS: How Diesel Stole Christmas
* TAOS: A Cranky Christmas Carol

## Basis:

Derek is based on a BR Class 17, also known as the Clayton Diesel-electric Type 1. 117 members of this class were built between 1962 and 1965. Derek's problems were undoubtedly inspired by those of his basis, as the twin Paxman engines of the real Class 17s were unreliable, being prone to problems with the camshaft, cylinder head, and other areas. Because of these problems, all Class 17s were withdrawn by the end of 1971, after less than 10 years of service. One Class 17, D8568, is preserved at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway in South Oxfordshire.

Rebecca

Rebecca is a SR Bulleid Pacific, or known as *Light* *Pacific,* who was preserved at the East Lancashire Railway. She also greets Alfred and Crovan at 1969.

## Bio:

Rebecca's early life on British Railways is unknown, but in 1969 she was preserved on the East Lancashire Railway. At Heywood station, she was the first to greet Alfred and Crovan who arrived at the station asking if they were here to get preserve too. The two engines were confused until Rebecca explained that they are on the East Lancashire Railway. After that Alfred told her that they had to go to another heritage railway as he secretly didn't want to be on a railway with other engines that weren't LNER, but Crovan told him off and said that not every railway was just going to have their kind. Alfred quiet down after that with Crovan telling Rebecca that they would be staying on the ELR. She then introduced herself to the two engines with Crovan introducing himself and Alfred to her.

## Appearances:

### Specials:

* 2020- 1969
* 2021- 1986 (Referenced)

## Technical Details:

### Basis:

Rebecca is based on a Southern Railway (SR) "West Country" and "Battle of Britain" class (also known as "Light Pacifics"), a class of 4-6-2 tender locomotives designed by Oliver Bulleid and built between 1945 and 1951. These engines were classified as mixed-traffic locomotives when introduced and used for a wide variety of passenger and goods trains, including famous expresses such as the 'Golden Arrow' and the 'Atlantic Coast Express'. The "West Country" and "Battle of Britain" class engines were smaller and lighter versions of Bulleid's earlier "Merchant Navy" class, originally built with 'air-smoothed' casing, chain-driven valve gear and tenders with tall streamlined sides. Ten unrebuilt members of the class have been preserved, one of them, Blackmoor Vale on the Bluebell Railway and another, Winston Churchill at the National Railway Museum. Rebecca is based on the unrebuilt version of the class, though her tender is based on the cut down tender used by the rebuilt version of her basis.

### Livery:

Rebecca is painted in British Railways Malachite green with sunshine yellow lining with a British Railways logo on the tender. The number "21C123" is painted on her buffer beam in yellow. When she arrived on Sodor, she was repainted into a bright yellow and navy livery with white lining. Her number 22 is painted on the sides of her cab in white and her company's initials, "N.W.R.", are painted on the sides of her tender, also in white.

## Trivia:

* Rebecca's former number back on the SR was 21C122, not 21C123 that was shown in 1969.
* Rebecca was originally called Exmoor as in real life her original number would be 21C122/34022.
	+ The real West Country Light Pacific numbered 34022 that was called Exmoor that Rebecca is based on was rebuilt in December of 1957, the locomotive was withdrawn and scrapped at Woodfields Scrapyard, Newport in April of 1965.

## Sixteen

**Sixteen** was a troublesome industrial Austerity saddle tank engine who used to work at a steelworks on the Mainland.

## Bio:

Sixteen lived at a steelworks on the Mainland, with several other engines. He spent all day shunting trucks to a place called the "tip". Engines were not allowed to travel along the track on the tip itself, as it was not firm enough to take their weight. Sixteen thought he knew better and often tried to pass the "danger" board without success.

One day, however, Sixteen took advantage of damp conditions and told the trucks to slide him past the warning notice. His fireman was told to reverse him, but before he could do so, the rails gave way and Sixteen tipped off the rails and rolled over onto the ground. He was eventually rescued but not repaired and sent to the sheds in disgrace where he remained in storage.

In 1969, Sixteen overheard Frankie planning on tricking other engines to stay the steelworks to help her and Hurricane, after she overheard Luca telling the decapod that someone had bought him to make him their private engine. Shortly after Luca left, Sixteen met Eliza had been imprisoned by Hurricane and Frankie. He introduced himself to the GWR saddle tank explained why he was left aside and how to escape the steelworks. Eliza was grateful for Sixteen's help and offer to take him with her to Sodor, but the austerity saddle tank declined the offer as he wanted to stay and make sure other engines that get imprisoned at the steelworks could be able to know how to escape.

## Technical Details:

### Real-life History:

Sixteen is based on a Hunslet Austerity WD 0-6-0ST. Sixteen's livery bears a striking resemblance to a member of this class, 3823 "Warrior" which worked at the National Coal Board. It is possible that Sixteen could be based on the Wemyss Private Railway's No. 16. The engine has the basis, wears a similar livery to him and while there is no record of a steelworks on the railway, the engine had replaced an engine (ironically carrying the same number) that had an accident similar to Sixteen's.

Wilbert is also based on a Hunslet Austerity WD 0-6-0ST.

### Livery:

Sixteen is painted red with yellow lining. His number (16) that he is named after is painted on the sides of his saddle tank in red with a yellow boarder. His buffer beams are painted with yellow and black hazard stripes and his buffers are painted silver. His paint is chipped in places.

Arlesburgh West

**Arlesburgh West**, also known as Arlesburgh Junction, is a seaside station on Sodor's west coast based on both sides of the River Arle Estuary. The station is served by both the North Western and Arlesdale railways and is the exchange station for both railways.

## History

The North Western Railway originally interchanged with the Mid Sodor Railway at Arlesburgh Harbour in 1916, and after the latter was abandoned in 1947, roadworks and urban development in the town virtually erased the former narrow-gauge mainline between Arlesburgh Bridge Street Station and the harbour.
When the Arlesdale Railway was being built around 1964-1965 along the MSR's old trackbed, a deviation had to be made from the old Bridge Street station along the outskirts of the town towards the NWR's line to the harbour, and an interchange point between the standard-gauge and the miniature gauge at Arlesburgh West. Passenger connection between the two railways was provided for by a foot-bridge, and the NWR laid in a standard gauge spur to the Transfer Gantry.

The Arlesdale Railway also has their own steam engine shed, diesel engine shed, carriage shed, turntable and yard at the station. A ballast chute is used for depositing ballast from the Arlesdale's hopper wagons into the NWR's waiting standard gauge trucks. It had a single platform on the south at first, but it has been supplemented by another on the north side of the station. A wall behind its whole length was erected together with a platform canopy giving much needed shelter in blustery weather. There is also a cabin that not only houses the point and signal levers controlling all movements in the station area, but is also used for traffic control and holds the radio transceiver apparatus necessary for this purpose.

In 2015, Sir Topham Hatt had decided to extend to the North Western Railway to Harwick with a branch line starting at Arlesburgh West. Ryan was assigned to look after the goods traffic, whilst Daisy took care of the passengers.

Brendam Docks

**Brendam Docks** is one of the Island of Sodor's most famous ports. It is located on the coast of Brendam, at the end of Edward's Branch Line.

## History:

Brendam Docks has been portrayed as the biggest and busiest dockyard on the Island of Sodor since the second series. Cranky is stationed here and he always loads and unloads cargo to and from the dock. Salty, who loves to work at the Docks and tell tales of the sea, was bought by Sir Topham Hatt to work here shunting trucks. The station of Upper Brendam serves the town itself.

A coastal branch line runs from the port and is mainly used for fish traffic. It also appears that the Express stops here on its way to Vicarstown, to collect passengers from the many ocean liners that come in here. There was a large goods shed nearby Cranky, but after he accidentally knocked it over, it has not been rebuilt or seen since. The mail barge also docks here. The Docks here are large and extensive, with many warehouses, cranes, rail yards, and canals.

In 2010, Mavis was sent to the Brendam Docks to help sort of the shipments of stone that BoCo delivered for a week.

Adam

* Season 2+
* Season 1

Adam is a mid blue tank engine, who shunts and delivers small trains anywhere around the Island.

## Bio:

Adam use to work on the London Brighton South & Coast Railway before being bought to help on Sodor in the 1980s to do some of the odd jobs about the railway and even shunt wherever he's needed.

He was one of the first shunters to interact with Sandy when she arrived to the Island in 2010, and introduced her to Martha. Adam was then suddenly chosen, along side Percy and Duck, by Thomas to be a random match up with Rosie. While Percy and Duck were spending time with Rosie, Adam managed to leave Ffarquhar Sheds and helped to organised Knapford Shunting Yards until Rosie return, where Adam gave her some moral advice for one day she will find someone she'll be happy with. While Adam was piloting Vicarstown, he over saw Norman, Sidney and Paxton give Henry and Gordon a warning letter from Diesel 10 to surrender Thomas and the Gold Dust to him otherwise he would bring an army of diesels to fight Sodor. Adam thought to help The Steam Team fight back, but backed down thinking that they would be alright and survived Diesel 10's wrath. Adam turned out to be right when all the Steam Team members returned back to Vicarstown as he looked up to the sky and thanked Lady for looking after the engines.

Adam helped out during the Winter season of 2012 as he worked along side Henry, Terence and Trevor at The Lumber Mill to take small trains of wood and logs to nearby homes between Vicarstown to Crovan's Gate while Henry worked on the main trains. While Henry was showing Madison around the Island, Henry brought her to The Lumber Mill and introduced her to Adam, Neville, Molly, Terence and Trevor where Adam told Madison about Henry's Wishing Tree.

## Personality:

Adam is mainly a quiet engine who gets long doing his work and normally keeps to himself a lot, but sometimes he likes to talk to the engines nearby him. Sometimes Adam can be quite cheeky and witty to the engines he claims as close friends and would try and help others by giving advice from the things he thinks is right. Adam is normally impartial and doesn't pick a side, unless given good reason to, for he tries see things from all angels before judging for himself. Although he doesn't speak a lot, he likes to hold his friends close to him and would try and do anything to help them in their time of need.
