## Bio

Lundy was built in May 1946 at Brighton Works and was first allocated to Exmouth Junction shed. She was rebuilt in 1958 at Eastleigh Works and was transferred to Nine Elms. She occasionally ran along the Castleman's Corkscrew route while taking diversionary expresses to Bournemouth.

Upon her withdrawal, she and her partner of seven years were sent to the same scrapyard, where she had to listen to his ultimate fate. Lundy, however, was fortunate and was saved for preservation, ending up in the hands of the Castleman's Railway. She arrived on the railway following restoration in 1979 and immediately struck up a friendship with Ed. Though Ed insisted this was all it was, Sid was convinced there was something more as a result of Harry's bullying causing him to be subdued.

Harry would eventually turn on Lundy too because of her association with Ed and Sid but continued to bond with the former, with Ed revealing the survival of her brothers Sir Eustace Missenden and 257 Squadron back home on the Dark Railway, much to her delight. After Sid pushed Harry into the turntable-well in a fit of rage following Harry attacking Ed, she attempted to pull Sid away but was unable to hold him back on her own, with Rob having to aid her.

Following the incident, Ed and Sid were arranged to be sent home, much to Lundy's dismay. She promised Ed she would come to visit one day to see him and her brothers when the opportunity arose.

## Persona

Lundy is a friendly and talkative sort though can easily become upset when being harassed by other engines. Regardless, she can stand her ground and intervene when needs must.

## Livery

Lundy is painted in British Railways lined green with the late crest. In her original condition, she would have carried Southern Railway malachite green and BR green with the early crest.
