Stevie

**Stephanie "Stevie" the Wild Electric Engine** was one of the deuteragonists and the second electric engine on the North Western Railway.

## Backstory

Stevie worked on the Eastern Region with her friends, Carole, Lisa and William. Unlike the other two, not as much is known of her past. Stevie ended up on Sodor alongside Carole and Lisa and worked alongside them - as well as Simon later on - until she was put to death by the hands of Jacob Hockings.

## Peel Godred Engines

### Carole

Sometimes, Carole's professionalism could make Stevie bored and annoyed. However, she did appreciate how Carole could keep to a schedule and on the straight and narrow.

### Lisa

Stevie couldn't quite understand Lisa's more 'girly girl' nature sometimes, but she did admire how she kept the Peel Godred coaches in line.

### Simon

Stevie was more of the 'fun' sister to Simon, and sometimes got him to pull pranks on the other engines. This could sometimes get the duo in trouble.

## Other relationships

### Whiff

Back when he went by William, the North Eastern engine was very close with Stevie, along with Carole and Lisa. He always found Stevie's pranks amusing. Whiff came to Sodor, eager to see his old friend, but was devastated when he found out she was dead.

## Personality

Stevie was quite spunky and up for a good time, especially if it involved a prank or two. She dropped her name of Stephanie not long after she opened her eyes. However, she kept the trains on schedule with her shunting, and she loved watching the horses going by at Hawin Lake.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Stevie is based on a NER Class ES1 (Electric Shunting 1) steeplecab electric locomotives commissioned by the North Eastern Railway in 1902, two of which were built

Both locomotives passed to the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923 and then to British Railways in 1948, but both were withdrawn before TOPS numbers could be applied. From 1968, ES1 (number 26500 under British Rail's number scheme) was transferred to Leicester Railway Museum. After that closed, in 1977 it was taken into the National Collection of the National Railway Museum, and is currently on display at Locomotion, Shildon. Stevie's real-life counterpart, ES2 (number 26500 under British Rail's number scheme) was sadly scrapped in 1966.

### Livery

Stevie is painted blue with white lining, and wears the number (E2) on her sides and a nameplate in gold. She also has a horse painted on her sides.

* Stevie's death in the series was a difficult choice for TobyandMavisForever to make, as she loves her *Saddle Club* insert characters. Ideally, she would have wanted all four engines alive and kicking, but she and Railfanbronymedia didn't think that'd be realistic.
