Lady the Magical Engine

**Lady** is a beautiful and mysterious steam engine who runs the Magic Railroad in the TV series, *Thomas and Friends*. She is also the love interest of Thomas. She probably returns the feelings.

In the film *Thomas and the Magic Railroad*, she is voiced by Britt Allcroft, the creator of the series.

## Bio

Lady was chased and wrecked by Diesel 10 long ago and was brought to safety by Burnett Stone. She was brought back to life with the help of Burnett's granddaughter Lily after being stored at Muffle Mountain for years, and helped Thomas defeat Diesel 10. Thomas has a crush on her and even said she was beautiful. The two get along well. It is unknown if Lady likes Thomas back, but she probably does.

She and Rusty later appeared in a dream to Thomas. She told Thomas how to resolve the problems Sodor was facing. And maybe she has a crush on Thomas.

## Livery

Lady is painted red-purple with gold head lamps on the front footplate, gold buffers, smokebox and funnel top, dome and whistles, side rods, lining and her name on each side in gold. She is also painted a very dark purple on her cab roof, lower funnel section and her footplate.

## Basis

Lady doesn't seem to be based on any real locomotive prototype, but it has been suggested that she bears some resemblance to a K&SER Northiam with the rear cab cut off and an enlarged chimney. She is said to be based on "Lively Polly", owned by the Liverpool Overhead Railway Company. She may also be partially based on a LSWR 0-4-0 locomotive.

## Garth's Search-Quest of Journey

During the search of the magic engine of her quest-clues on the adventures, Garth was embarking on his adventure of his magical-epic's quest when his mother, who was known as his guide-spirit named Raksha, told her son about the beautiful magic engine lives in the Magic Railroad that she lives that the Magic Buffers led him to it. Before searching for Lady in his adventures, Gath encounters The Vixen, The Wolverines, and The Grizzly Bear that he encountered them during his search-quest. He refuges the cave and follows the soft, quiet song ("Praise for Father Sun and Sister Moon") where it was led by The Rainbow Faces that he met them. The Rainbow Faces tell and sing to Garth about the nature while they were his guide-spirits during the song ("Who You Really Are") in the cave and Garth knows who he was a wolf. After Garth leaves, he sees dead-end and removes the rocks by being so strong and exits the cave and wanders off to explores to find Lady in the forest road where she lives nearby the forest.

In the meantime, Garth was traveling in the clear pathway of the forestland during the song ("Out There") that he misses his family in the during to search of the magical engine while continues on his mission to find the magic buffers. However, Garth was later being attacked by Ozzy & Strut, Bubbah, Pervis, Lurleane, and Earl who plotted a plan to have the wolf drown in the sea. However, they were
all stopped when the mountain's eruption sends them plummeting down a canyon. After Gath escapes, he found the magic buffers that leads to the magic railroad and found Lady the Magical Engine at last. Garth knew that Balto's mother as his guide-spirit, Anui told him that Lady was the source of the magic Goldust that lives in the magic railroad. Later, Balto's daughter, Aleu, had followed the trail of Garth's search of the magic engine and then found Gath and tells him with Lady to return home, but the female wolfdog had ran into Diesel 10 who wanted to kill Nava and his Clan/Pack of Wolves, but Aleu battles him, but he was too strong until he chased Lady, but Balto arrives to the rescue.

Later, that is when Nava, Aleu, Garth, and Balto figured that it was Lady's clue that she was victory in the magic of her Goldust, in bravery, as Balto tells Diesel 10 in his might to leave his home to become a leader in The Elephant Graveyards where he will never returns, but Diesel 10 refused and tells the Balto, Aleu, and Garth that he'll never leaves his homeland for destroying Lady that he changes his mind of his worriedly and panicking. But suddenly, Jaws the Shark appears and attacks Diesel 10 causing him to meet his death while drowning him. After the last of Diesel 10 that he was gone, Lady is saved and tells Balto that she found a new home in The Nome Forest with her adoptive-family pack/clan of wolves including with Nava's Wolves and her adoptive-grandaughter that she has Nava of her grandfather that she tnaked Garth during the song ("Where You Are") while she puffs in the forest into the sunset, causing Garth smiles back at her in his victory of freedom.

## Nod's Quest Journey

During to find Lady of his mission after the dream, Nod leaves the Great Valley for his journey of his quest, after he promised that he leaves both of Hyp and Mutt to be in charge of the valley until he will be back home to the valley right until he finds the lost magic engine to be gone for a while. As Nod leaves for his quest journey, Hyp watches him in annoying while Mutt began to sob while crying that he was thinking that Nod didn't even get to say goodbye in the wilderness for running away being all alone while Hyp tells and pipes Mutt down to stop crying like a "Big-Baby" that Nod is going to be back home for an hour, causing Mutt cries loudly while hugging Hyp tightly, thinking about Nod's leaving the valley forever for saying goodbye to find the engine for his journey since we will return. Nod was exploring through the Nome Forest while searching for the magic buffers as he sees the reading words of the misty and foggy-clues from the guide-spirit of Anui the Great Powerful Wolf (aka Balto's Mother) who was appearing in the mist causing Nod looks back at the clues while reading: "*Stoke up the magic in the mountain, and the lady will smile... then watch the swirls that spin so well.*" so quickly as a wind through the forest Nod follows the clues that he reads the clues as well. But later, when there was no reading clues of the mist-fog in the end of the forest while getting lost, Nod meets up while encounters that he ran into with the same of the other mysterious creatures; like a cunning red fox who was called The Vixen *("The Cunning Trickster")*, an intimidating trio of wolverines who were called The Wolverines *("Your Fears")* that taunt him, the same guiding raven who is called The Raven from his dreams, and a furious grizzly bear who is called The Grizzly Bear *("Inner Knowing")* that suddenly disappears when he encounters like the film in which's of a wolfdog movie called "*Balto 2: Wolf Quest (2002)'*" just like the wolfdog for his epic-journey to find his daughter on the adventure.
