Jemma

Jemma is a Red Tender Engine from the Island of Chester!

## Technical Details:

Jemma is based on the Lancaster & Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) Class 28 0-6-0 locomotive. Designed by George Hughes, The class was a rebuilt version of the L&YR's Class 27, with included the addition Belpaire firebox, and extended footplate and front sandboxes, larger cylinders, and a superheater. 63 of the Class 27's were rebuilt between 1909 and 1912, with an additional 20 being built new around the same time at the L&YR's Horwich Works, near Bolton. These locomotives were briefly under the ownership of the London & North Western Railway (Presumably because of a merger), in 1922, before becoming part of the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway (LMS) following the Big 4 Grouping of 1923. Withdrawls began as early as 1936, with only 35 members of the class moving into BR ownership. The last members were withdrawn in 1957, with none of them surviving into preservation. However, One of the Class 27's #1300 (LMS #12322/BR 52322) Managed to survive into preservation. It is under the ownership of Andy Booth, and is based at the Ribble Steam Railway, though it's currently on loan to the East Lancashire Railway.

Jemma shares a very major difference compared to his basis: Instead of being an 0-6-0 like the prototype, he is instead a 2-6-0 Mogul. Some other notable differences include the addition of a Fowler Tender, and the lack of sandboxes on the front splashers.
King Edward Wellsworth IX

King Edward Wellsworth IX (B. September 29th, 1747 - D. September 30th, 1816) was King of Sodor. He is the 2nd monarch of the Royal House of Wellsworth. He was the husband of Mathilda Higgens, father to Princess Edwina Wellsworth, Princess Deliah Wellsworth, Princess Alice Wellsworth and King Edward Wellsworth X!
Old Slow Coach

## Britt

**Old Slow Coach**, sometimes simply known as **Coach** or known **Britt**, is a Great Western Railway clerestory brake coach. She was known for her luxurious interior.

## Personality:

After being stuck in the scrapyard, Old Slow Coach was delighted to have a second chance in life and she never took it for granted. She is a happy railway coach with a polite spirit to all the engines especially Thomas and Percy. Whether she is a hut for the workmen or a coach for passengers, Old Slow Coach is just delighted to be really useful indeed.

## Technical Details:

Old Slow Coach is based on a Diagram E39 Falmouth Coupe TRI brake coach, built in 1893 for the Great Western Railway.

## Trivia:

* Old Slow Coach is named after her creator "Britt Allcroft"
Gertrude and Millicent

**Gertrude** and **Millicent** are two bogie coaches who work on the Skarloey Railway.

## Technical Details

Gertrude and Millicent are based on the Talyllyn Railway's ninth and tenth carriages, respectively. Carriages 9 and 10 were built on two bogie underframes supplied by W.G. Allen Ltd. of Tipton in 1954. Carriage 9 was originally fitted with the bodies of two ex-Penrhyn quarrymen's carriages, until a new six-compartment body was fitted in 1955. Carriage 10 was built with a five-compartment semi-open body with a small enclosed guard's compartment. They were rebuilt in 1967-68 and 1967, respectively, to the Talyllyn Railway's standard bogie carriage design.
King Orry's Bridge

```
Not to be confused with the station King Orry's Bridge station

```

King Orry's Bridge is a medieval bridge that crosses the Hawin Ab. It is located just to the south of Peel Godred.

## History:

Leaving Kirk Machan, a train for Peel Godred burrows under the Culdee Fell Railway, and crosses the River Ab by a plate girder bridge. Away to the left a substantial road bridge has been built to by-pass a bridge of medieval construction which stands on the east side of the new structure. This is King Orry’s Bridge, now preserved by The Sodor Island Trust. The modern bridge provides the only access to Peel Godred from the south.

The Mid Sodor Railway moved their terminus from Arlesdale Road to a more commodious site near here around 1900. This was much more convenient for those who wished to reach the shopping centre of Peel Godred.
Martha

Martha is a Green LNER K1 who lives on the Island of Chester!

## Technical Details:

When Peppercorn replaced Thompson as chief mechanical engineer he made the rebuilding the basis for a new class of 2-cylinder 2-6-0. Several modifications were made. The running plates were redesigned to improve access to the cylinder steam chests and there were changes to the leading pony truck, the cylinder linings and the boiler. The new engines were also longer and received bigger tenders holding 4,200 gallons of water instead of the 3,500 gallons of the K4s.

An order for 70 of the new mixed traffic 2-6-0s was placed with the North British Locomotive Company of Glasgow. They were the last steam locomotives built to an LNER design although all were delivered under British Railways auspices. Numbered 62001–62070 they entered service between May 1949 and March 1950.
Nathan

Nathan (Formerly known as Galtee More) is a Green LNER A1/A3! He is Gordon's brother!

## Technical Details:

Nathan is based on the LNER's A1/A3 Class of 4-6-2 Pacifics. Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley for express passenger work on the Great Northern Railway (a predecessor to the LNER prior to the Big 4 Grouping of 1923), and were based off of the Pennsylvania Railroad's K4 Class of 4-6-2 Pacifics (Though they lacked the Belpaire Firebox, instead having a more traditional roundtop one). A total of 79 locomotives (52 A1's and 27 A3's) were constructed, with the majority constructed at the LNER's works in Doncaster, though 20 of them were built at the North British Locomotive Co. in Glasgow, Scotland. Almost all of the A1's were rebuilt to A3 Specifications between 1928 and 1949. The Class lasted until 1966, when the last member, 60052, "Prince Palatine" was withdrawn by BR. Only one LNER Pacific survived into preservation, #4472, "Flying Scotsman", who was the very first to officially travel 100 MPH.

Like most of the Thomas Characters, Nathan has a few differences compared to his basis, including a larger boiler, the addition of a Fowler tender, and the use of either ovular or square buffers as opposed to circular buffers.
Madison

Madison is a USATC S100 Class who often works on the Island of Chester!

## Technical Details:

Madison is based of the United States Army Transportation Administration (USATC) S100 Class of 0-6-0 Tank Engines. The Locomotives were designed by Colonel Howard G. Hill, at total of 382 locomotives were constructed by the Davenport Locomotive Works in Davenport, Iowa, H.K. Porter Locomotive Works of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the Vulcan Iron Works of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, between 1942-1944. Most of them were shipped to the UK in 1943, where they remained in storage until after the D-Day Landings, where they were then shipped all across continental Europe. Following the war, the locomotives ended up all over Europe and Asia. In the UK, 15 S100's were purchased by the Southern Railway, where they were designated as the "USA" Class. A few others were acquired by the National Coal Board, Longmoor Military Railway, and the Austin Motor Company. Impressively, over 100 S100's have survived into preservation, with the majority in North America and Europe.
Mighty Mac

* Mighty
* Mac

**Mighty Mac** are a blue double-ended Fairlie duplex engine, and conjoined twins. Mighty is the "older" of the two and is distinguished by a small flick of hair. Mac is the "younger" half and is distinguished by his youthful features, round nose and freckled cheeks.

Despite the opposing personalities of the two ends, they are technically one engine.

## Technical Details:

Mighty Mac is based on a Ffestiniog Railway Double Fairlie engine. Unlike the FR double Fairlies, Mighty Mac have added buffer beams and buffers.

Mighty Mac has been modified in order to work on the Skarloey Railway. Whereas their original basis was built to 1 ft 11 1⁄2 gauge, Mighty Mac was built to 2ft 3in gauge and they have been given buffers and screwlink couplings in order to work with the other engines.
Harry

Harry is a Teal tender engine! He is also deaf and uses special whistle! He is the last Arthur Easswin design built

## Technical Details:

Harry's history is considered my many to be one of the most checkered and interesting histories of any of the NWR's Fleet. In 1919, an unknown locomotive builder sent a spy to steal drawings from Sir Nigel Gresley, the Great Northern Railway's Chief Mechanical Officer. The builder had formerly been an apprentice of Gresley, and had a strong grudge against him for unknown reasons. The spy had initially meant to steal the drawings for Gresley's New Pacific Design, but accidently stole plans for an early draft of what eventually would become the LNER's B17 Class Ten Wheelers. The designer, blissfully unaware that his spy had "bungled up the job", had the locomotive constructed at once.

## Trivia:

* He is the first deaf engine in the series
	+ He uses a special whistle
* Harry is based from Henry's Horror Forest's cousin, who is also deaf, but his cousin helped create Harry
Mr. Percival

The Culdee Fell Railway (Controller)

* Walter Renning

Mr. Percival is the Deputy Controller of The Skarloey Railway and the Controller The Culdee Fell Railway.

## Personality:

Much like Sir Topham Hatt, Peregrine is a firm but fatherly figure to the Skarloey engines and his stern, compact attitude and work ethic is only what's best for the railway.

## Attire:

Mr. Percival is a tall, thin gentleman. He is usually dressed in a black suit jacket with grey trousers, a yellow waistcoat, a white shirt, a black tie and a black bowler hat. He wears a pair of brown glasses.
Luke Wellsworth

Luke Wellsworth (B. July 15th, 1890- D. July 3rd, 1912) was one of the shortest kings in Sodor's History: After the death of his father King Martin II, He was supposedly "King" for only 6 months until he was involved in a train crash at Crosby... and with no other living male heirs of his father, it fell to his sister. Despite not getting his coronation for King, his little sister Elizabeth made sure that he was recognised as a King during the 1st year of her reign!

## Titles, styles, honours, and arms:

### Titles and styles:

* July 15th, 1890 - August 7th, 1900: His Royal Highness, Prince Luke
* July 15th, 1890 - May 19th, 1900: His Royal Highness, The Prince Luke

* February 1st, 1912 - July 3rd, 1912: His Majesty, King Luke I
Matthew

Matthew was one of the First engines on Sodor along with Clive, Neil, Glynn!

## Technical Details:

Matthew is based on a Neilson 0-4-0 box tank but Matthew has a 0-4-2 wheel configuration, a simple and robust class of engine built in Glasgow, Scotland and sold all over the world. This basis is reflected in his name and class. His country of origin also explains his accent. All members of this class were withdrawn and scrapped, so it can be assumed that Matthew was as well. Clive and Neil are also based of this!
James

* III
* II
* I

James is a Red Tender Engine. He is the number 5 of the NWR

## Personality:

James is very proud of his splendid red paintwork. He dislikes pulling trucks and is so self-centered that he thinks himself superior to the others and can be shallow, boastful, overconfident, arrogant, prideful, naughty, and vain, particularly to those who appear old-fashioned, weak, slow or dirty. This has caused him to have somewhat of a longstanding rivalry with a few of the engines like Henry, Gordon, and Duck, on a few occasions. In most cases, it takes scolding from others to make his penny drop, and even then, it is too late to prevent trouble. He had acted like this even before he was repainted red. However, on several occasions, he has found himself in need of help from those whom he has insulted and is, in the end, apologetic.

## Technical Details:

James is based on the Lancaster & Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) Class 28 0-6-0 locomotive. Designed by George Hughes, the class was a rebuilt version of the L&YR's Class 27, with included the addition Belpaire firebox, and extended footplate and front sandboxes, larger cylinders, and a superheater. 63 of the Class 27's were rebuilt between 1909 and 1912, with an additional 20 being built new around the same time at the L&YR's Horwich Works, near Bolton. These locomotives were briefly under the ownership of the London & North Western Railway (Presumably because of a merger), in 1922, before becoming part of the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway (LMS) following the Big 4 Grouping of 1923. Withdrawls began as early as 1936, with only 35 members of the class moving into BR ownership. The last members were withdrawn in 1957, with none of them surviving into preservation. However, One of the Class 27's #1300 (LMS #12322/BR 52322) Managed to survive into preservation. It is under the ownership of Andy Booth, and is based at the Ribble Steam Railway, though it's currently on loan to the East Lancashire Railway.

James shares a very major difference compared to his basis: Instead of being an 0-6-0 like the prototype, he is instead a 2-6-0 Mogul. According to Awdry, James was an experimental rebuild of the class 28, with the driving wheel size increased to 5' 6", as opposed to 5' 1" on the prototype. Some other notable differences include the addition of a Fowler Tender, and the lack of sandboxes on the front splashers.

Hiro

**Hiro (ヒロ)** is an old and wise Japanese tender engine, who is famously known as the "**Master of the Railway**".

## Personality:

Hiro is an old steam engine who has been on Sodor for a very long time and was originally known as the "Master of the Railway". He is grand, masterful, mature, wise, very dignified, enormously kind and is able to find good in any engine he meets. He has an appreciation for serenity and order and often thinks fondly of his homeland, far away, where he was once one of the strongest engines. Hiro fell victim to neglect when waiting upon parts to arrive for him from his home country, when he began to break down and became lost. He was eventually rediscovered by Thomas, who, despite some problems in worrying about sharing the discovery of Hiro with the Fat Controller, helped Hiro to be fully restored to his former glory. Hiro continues to be gentle, wise and graceful, as well as a useful engine on the railway and a good friend to the other engines, especially Thomas. He does not appear to hold a grudge; in his first appearance, he helped Spencer after an accident, despite Spencer previously trying to send Hiro to the smelter's yard. Hiro is also very close to his friends on Sodor, knowing that even in a different location they will always be his friends.

## Technical Details:

Hiro is based on a Japanese National Railways (JNR) Class D51 2-8-2 "Mikado" built by Kawasaki and popularly known as "Degoich" in Japan. Mikado means the emperor of Japan. These were primarily used as goods locomotives and were an adaptation of the earlier Class D50. 1,115 class D51 locomotives were built between 1936-1951, becoming Japan's most mass-produced steam locomotive. Two examples of this class are preserved in working order in Japan. During World War II, they were used to supply weapons and vehicles for the Japanese Imperial Army. In addition to Japan, members of this class have been built for export to South Korea, Taiwan and the USSR, totalling 1,184 locomotives. Hiro is standard gauge, while most D51s were built for 3'6" gauge (cape gauge 1,067mm), though the two examples of his class exported to South Korea (KNR Class Mika7) were built to standard gauge. Over 170 of these engines are preserved throughout Japan, two of which are in working order, while four are preserved in Taiwan (Taiwan Railways DT650) and eleven in Russia (Soviet Railways D51). Unlike the D51s in Japan, Taiwan and Russia, the D51s in South Korea have no smoke deflectors.

Though Hiro's number is a reference to his basis' name, there was a D51 with the number 51. However, unlike Hiro, the real engine was an earlier build of the D51 class, with its dome flush with its funnel. It was preserved at Torokko Saga Station in Kyoto, Japan until February 2020, when it was scrapped due to issues that arose from it being stored outside. Hiro also has a buffer-beam fitted on his front and on the back of his tender. His livery is based on the Soviet Railways D51.
Lord Harry

* II
* I

**Patrick (Lord Harry)** and known for a time by his number, **No. 6**, is a narrow gauge mountain-climbing engine who works on The Culdee Fell Railway.

## Personality:

Like Godred, Patrick was very arrogant, pompous and reckless at first, but learned his lesson after his mountain rescue. Now, he only takes risks if absolutely necessary and is more responsible and mature than ever before.

## Technical Details:

Patrick is based on No. 6 Padarn, an engine who worked on the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Padarn was formerly named Sir Harmood, after the chairman of the railway. Padarn was built at the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in Winterthur, Switzerland in 1922.
Oliver

Oliver the Great Western Engine

```
*"Not to be confused with the excavator. This is the standard gauge engine"*

```

Oliver is a Green tank engine! He is the number 11 of the NWR.

## Technical Details:

Oliver is based on the Great Western Railway's 14XX Class of 0-4-2 Tank Engines. Designed by Charles Collet, 75 locomotives were constructed at the GWR's Works at Swindon between 1932 and 1936. Originally Classified as the 4800 Class, they were designed to work with the GWR's Autocoaches, a specialized coach designed for push/pull trains. The Reclassification into 14XX came in 1946, following the GWR's Decision to convert 12 members of the GWR's 2800 Class to oil firing, which themselves were reclassified as 4800's, hence the reclassification. The class was withdrawn between 1956 and 1965, with 4 members surviving into preservation.

Oliver Specifically is based on engine #1436, who, sadly, was not among the 4 14XX's that survived into preservation!

## Trivia:

* Henry's Horror Forest decided that Oliver would be from Bristol!
* He uses his S3 whistle
Norramby Branch

## Norrmaby Branch

The **Norramby Branch Line** runs to Norramby and was part of the now-defunct Sodor and Mainland Railway. After the Closure of the S&M, the branch was a private branch and ran by an engine named Alister. The branch line was given to Arthur by Sir Topham Hatt and is commonly known as **Arthur's Branch Line**.

Musical Disasters

Musical Disasters is the first episode of The Fat Controller's Engines: Between the Stories.

## Plot:

During the springtime, The Island of Sodor has a big celebration. The stations hold competitions for the best dressed station, the towns hold festivals dedicated to the culture of Sudrians. And on the last day, a musical band is formed to travel by train all across Sodor. This train is usually pulled by one of the three big engines, but Gordon and Henry were off elsewhere, and James was held up at the works. So Sir Topham Hatt brought Murdoch to pull the music train. But as we all know, Murdoch hates loud noises, and tries to get some peace and quiet. Will he get the peace and quiet back?

Old Stuck Up

## Diesel 40125

**Diesel 40125**, nicknamed **"Old Stuck-Up"** is a diesel engine who once visited the North Western Railway on loan from British Railways.

## Personality:

Old Stuck-Up is pompous, rude and arrogant like a lot of unfriendly diesels, and believes that steam power is inferior to diesel power while also being highly stubborn as he refused to go further into the shed where the steam engines rest. He soon made himself an enemy of the steam engines, particularly James who christened the nickname "Old Stuck-Up". BoCo, who was showing the diesel round, lost patience with him. In addition, he is described as being "*particularly haughty*" by the author.

## Technical Details:

Old Stuck-Up is based on a British Rail (BR) Class 40 1Co-Co1 diesel-electric engine. Two-hundred members of this class were built from 1958 to 1962, and the last is withdrawn in 1985. They were given the nickname "Whistlers" because of the strange whistling noise their engines would make. Seven Class 40s are preserved at the National Railway Museum including D200, the first Class 40 ever built.

D782, Class 40, Patrick are also based on BR Class 40s, hence the latter's name.

Unlike most diesel engines in *The Railway Series* besides BoCo, Old Stuck-Up's number is not fictional. The real 40125 was built in December 1960 as D325 in BR Deep Bronze green and was the first member of the class built with "split" headcode boxes before later being repainted into BR Blue at some point. It was withdrawn from service in May 1981 and scrapped at Swindon Works in December 1983. So it's most likely that Old Stuck-Up was scrapped as well.
Michael (9F)

## Michael

Michael (9F) is a Black engine!

## Technical Details:

Michael is based on a BR Standard Class 9F with a BR1G tender, which was used for fast and heavy goods trains. The class was the last of the BR Standards and the final steam engine class built by British Railways, with the last one, "Evening Star", built in March 1960. Due to the size and shape of the class, they were given the nickname "Spaceships". "Evening Star" and eight other 9Fs are preserved. One 9F, "Black Prince" holds the record for hauling the heaviest steam-hauled train in all of England, Scotland and Wales, at 2,198 tons. "Evening Star", the very last steam locomotive built by BR, is also part of the National Collection.

Levi

Levi is a diesel shunter who worked on British Railways.

## Biography:

Levi and some other diesel engines were seen alongside a signal box near an old quarry branch where Oliver, Isabel and Toad briefly hid to escape scrap. Oliver described the diesels as "baying and growling like hounds outside", and he felt very frightened.

## Technical Details:

The Class 08 is based on British Rail (BR) Class 08 diesel-electric shunters. In the real world, BR Class 08s were in fact the most successful shunting engines in the world with 996 of them built. Over seventy of them are preserved by heritage railways, such as the Dean Forest Railway and museums, such as the National Railway Museum. Around one-hundred BR Class 08s also remain in service on the national rail network. 08850, a BR Class 08 preserved by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, appears in a Mr. Perkins' Railway segment.

## Trivia:

* Levi is based on the BR Class 08 who appeared in Book No.23 "Enterprising Engines" in the story "Escape"
	+ He was named Levi by Jorgy Porgie

Leslie Nyland

Leslie Nyland is an employee on the NWR. He is primarily a Porter but also the NWR's Union Chairman, much to the annoyance of the Fat Controller, as his devotion to his duties as Union Representative usually results in more strikes than actually work.

**Bio:**

Born into a Railway Family with a long history of working on the NWR, Leslie joined the NWR as soon as he left school at the age of 16. He started work as a Ticket Clerk at Tidmouth before taking on a position as a Porter at Knapford.

Whilst working at Knapford, Leslie became interested in becoming the next Chairman of the Sodor Railway Union. With a successful campaign and the reputation of his Father, a former Signalman at Crosby, he was officially sworn in as Chairman at a Railway Social Dinner hosted at Hatt Manor by the Fat Controller.

**Personality:**
Henry's Forest

"*Not to be confused with the location*"

Henry's Forest is the 7th episode of Season 2

## Plot:

Henry has lived on the Island of Sodor for many years and would not want to live anywhere else. He likes every part of it, but there is one place that he enjoys visiting more than any other; the forest. Henry remembers the day long ago when he and Toby had brought some new trees to be planted and Terence and Trevor had helped to haul them into place.

One night, everything changes as a storm rages across the island. All the engines in the sheds are talking about the wind blowing outside, except for Henry, who hopes that it will not harm the forest. By morning, the winds have gone, but severe damage has been done to the forest. Henry is sent to help Donald clear the line of trees. The big green engine feels very devastated by all the damage done in the forest and now wonders what will happen to all the animals who have lived there.

Henry's trucks are loaded with logs to be taken to the timber mill, where they are recycled to become furniture and other things. Henry takes consolation in the fact the wood will be put to good use, but is still sad to lose part of the place that meant so much to him. Thomas and Toby feel sorry for Henry and wish there is something they could do to make things better again. Toby later meets the Fat Controller at the yards, who notices that the tram engine looks glum. Toby tells him that he and Henry are very sad about the trees and that the forest was a special place to Henry and now some of it has been destroyed. The Fat Controller tells Toby that he will soon put things right and sends him to collect some trucks, loaded with small trees all ready for planting.

When Henry returns to the forest, he is surprised to see Terence and Trevor, busily helping workmen to plant the trees. Terence tells Henry that they are beginning again and that the hillside will look better than ever before. Now when Henry stops by the forest, he can see the new trees growing strong and tall and the animals are returning to their home. Whatever sounds these woods bring, he is always happy to be here.

Heather

Heather is a GNR A1/C1!

## Technical Details:

Heather's history is considered my many to be one of the most checkered and interesting histories of any of engine. In 1919, an unknown locomotive builder sent a spy to steal drawings from Sir Nigel Gresley, the Great Northern Railway's Chief Mechanical Officer. The builder had formerly been an apprentice of Gresley, and had a strong grudge against him for unknown reasons. The spy had initially meant to steal the drawings for Gresley's New Pacific Design, but accidently stole plans for an early draft of what eventually would become the LNER's B17 Class Ten Wheelers. The designer, blissfully unaware that his spy had "bungled up the job", had the locomotive constructed at once! Aaron, Devin and Henry I are based on this class!

Harold

**Harold** is a helicopter who patrols the Island of Sodor, searching for emergencies. In the television series, he is part of the Search and Rescue Team. He is operated by two pilots.

## Personality:

When Harold was first introduced, he was shown to be very proud of being able to fly and the speed and versatility this gives him. He somewhat tended to be cocky, as he believed that "railways are slow and quite out of date". This caused a bit of rivalry between him and the engines, particularly Percy and he is usually nicknamed "whirlybird" for that, but he usually got his comeuppance in the end. Sometimes, he finds himself in need of Percy's help after he teases him for being slow. Despite this, he still works hard and deep down, he knows that the engines on the Fat Controller's railway, including Percy, are just as useful as he is. He is always helpful and highly alert whenever there is an emergency, especially on patrol. Because of this, he remains a friend to the railway.

However, since he joined the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre, he has acted a lot more mature and almost never teases the engines. He takes his job as part of the team very seriously and continues to remain on patrol.

Harold also speaks in a manner reminiscent of an RAF pilot, using terms such as "wizard" and "old chap" in conversation.

## Technical Details:

Harold is based on a Sikorsky S-55 helicopter (also known as Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw), built in the UK as the Westland Whirlwind. these were used by the United States Air force to transport US troops during the Korean War. He has added floats. Around 70 of these still survive in some form.
Hackenbeck

**Hackenbeck** is a small hamlet a mile west of Ffarquhar, serviced by a halt on Thomas' Branch Line. Thomas once got stuck in a snowdrift outside the nearby tunnel. The station is just north of the Hackenbeck Tunnel. A stream passes under the railway line east of the station. A stonecutting shed is located behind the station for trucks from the Ffarquhar Quarry.
Henry the MR Compound

## Henry

Henry is a Midland Railway 1000 class, otherwise known as the Compound Class. He is the main mascot and original character of Henry's Horror Forest.

## Biography:

Henry was built at Derby Works for the Midland Railway in 1907. Designed by Samuel Waite Johnson. He is the 26th member of his class. As soon as he was built, his older brother Adam was assigned to teach him how to

## Technical Details:

Henry is based on the Midland Compound Class 1000. These were developed from a series of five locomotives (2631–2635) introduced in 1902 by Samuel Waite Johnson, which had a 3-cylinder compound arrangement on the Smith system, with one high-pressure cylinder inside the frames and two low-pressure cylinders outside, and used Smith's starting arrangement. On the first two locomotives independent control of high-pressure and low-pressure valve gears was available. From 1905 onwards, Johnson's successor Richard Deeley built an enlarged and simplified version, eliminating all the Smith refinements and fitting his own starting arrangement, making the engines simpler to drive. These locomotives were originally numbered 1000–1029, but in the 1907 renumbering scheme the five Smith/Johnson locomotives became 1000–1004 and the Deeley compounds 1005–1034. Ten more of these were added in 1908–1909. The original Johnson locomotives were all subsequently renewed as Deeley compounds, including the now-preserved 1000 which was rebuilt and outshopped with a superheater in 1914.

Numbered 1000–1044 by both the Midland and LMS companies, British Railways renumbered the Midland series of compounds 41000–41044 after nationalisation in 1948.

Immingham

Immingham is a GCR class 8F who works on the Island of Chester!

## Technical Details:

The new design was very similar to 4-6-0 the two locomotives of the (GCR Class 8C, later LNER class B1) except that they had smaller driving wheels.

They were built with a saturated boiler, inside slide valves and Stephenson valve gear, two outside cylinders connected to 6-foot-7-inch (2.007 m) diameter driving wheels.

### LNER ownership:

The ten locomotives were renumbered by the LNER by adding 5000 to their GCR numbers; and classified as **B4**.

### Modifications:

Between 1925 and 1928 the whole class received superheated boilers, but six received 10-inch piston valves and 21-inch cylinders giving rise to two LNER sub-classes B4/1 and B4/2.

The LNER had designed a new type of superheated boiler (Diagram 16) based on the old design (Diagram 15). These were used on the B1 and B4 class locomotives; no more of this type of boiler was made after 1932, and so to keep the B1 and B4s in service during World War II, some Diagram 15 boilers were modified for use with these locomotives.

### Allocation and work:

The class were originally used on fish trains between the port of Grimsby and London and Manchester although they were also found to be successful passenger locomotives. No. 1097 was also chosen to haul the special train at the inauguration ceremony for the new port of Immingham in 1906, and was named ‘*Immingham*’ thereafter, giving the name to the whole class. After grouping the class was transferred to Ardsley, South Yorkshire and did much useful work in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

### Withdrawal:

No.6095 was withdrawn in 1939, but was reinstated three months later due to the outbreak of war and an expected shortage of locomotive power. After a collision at Woodhead in 1944, No.6095 was officially withdrawn. The remaining 9 were renumbered 1481-1489 in order of construction in 1946. They were withdrawn between 1947 and 1950. The last withdrawal, No.(6)1482(GCR No.1097)*Immingham* was in 1950, with *Immingham* being the last GCR 4-6-0 to be withdrawn.
Kirtley

Kirtley is a Preserved Midland Railway Class 156!

## Technical Details:

These engines used to work on express passenger trains to King's Cross, which was then the Midland Railway's London Terminus. 21 survived to become part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) fleet of engines in 1923. By then they were reduced to the humblest of roles. In September 1930, the LMS recognised the significance of the class and number 156 itself was ear-marked for preservation. But William Stanier chose not to preserve it and the engine was scrapped two years later.
Hey Ya

Hey Ya is a song by Outkast, performed and written by its group member André 3000. It is sung by Harry Wellsworth and his friends at his wedding and in Sudrian Skits The Musical.

Lady Jane Brown

Lady Jane Hatt (Née Brown) was the grandmother of The Fat Controller and Sir Lowham Hatt! She was of Sir Edward Hatt, Lady Barbara Hatt, Sir Charles Hatt I, Lady Alexandra Hatt, and Ian Topham Hatt! She was the wife to Sir Albert Hatt!

## Trivia:

* In the books, Jane is the daughter of Sir Handel Brown I, whereas in The Fat Controller's engines, she is his elder sister.
Molly

Molly (Given name Martha) is a Yellow Tender engine!

## Technical Details:

Molly is based on a Great Eastern Railway (GER) D56 Class "Claud Hamilton", classified as D15 by the London and North Eastern Railway, with a Belpaire firebox, sandboxes on her wheel splashers, and the smaller 'water-cart' tender. Claud Hamiltons under the classes S46/D14, D56/D15, and H88/D16 were built at Stratford Works from 1900 to 1923. Under the LNER, most members of the class were rebuilt into the Gresley designed D16/3 sub-class. Members of this class pulled the Royal Train from Wolverton to the Sandringham Estate for several decades. The last D15 was withdrawn in 1952, while the last rebuilt Claud was withdrawn in 1960. None are preserved, though there are plans to construct a replica of D16/2 No. 8783 which is to be named *Phoenix*.
Marion

**Marion** is an orange railway steam shovel. She usually works at the Clay Pits with Bill, Ben, Derek and Timothy, although she can be seen at any digging site on the North Western Railway.

## Personality:

Marion is very enthusiastic and likes to think of herself as well-informed. She is happy to share her knowledge, though she has had strange beliefs, such as believing that Glynn was a talking Christmas tree. She is very talkative and loves to tell stories of her discoveries. However, not all the engines prefer to stick around and hear her stories, as her nonstop repetitive speeches leave them excessively annoyed. She is also clueless at times to the point of downright idiocy, but she knows when to help a friend.

Despite her enthusiastic demeanor, she can also be rather stern, as seen when she told off Ben for not delivering any coal, and she makes both of the twins apologize and thank Timothy.

## Technical Details:

Marion is based on a rail-mounted Marion Model 40 Revolving Steam Shovel, hence her name. However, unlike Marion, the actual steam shovels were not self-propelled. Many of these steam shovel types were used in the construction of the Panama Canal, with some of them still in place at the bottom of portions of the canals and reservoir that provide water to the canal and locks.

The only remaining steam shovel is a Model 91, which was taken out of service in 1949. It resides in Le Roy, New York City, United States on caterpillar treads. It is on treads because in 1916, the Marion Company began selling conversion kits, to allow the shovel to be placed on caterpillar treads. Model 91 is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Nelson

(Joey on the chase)

Nelson is a BR 9F. He is a railway crook, known around the region for his thefts and ability to get away with his brutal strength!

## Technical Details:

Nelson is based on a BR Standard Class 9F with a BR1G tender, which was used for fast and heavy goods trains. The class was the last of the BR Standards and the final steam engine class built by British Railways, with the last one, "Evening Star", built in March 1960. Due to the size and shape of the class, they were given the nickname "Spaceships". "Evening Star" and eight other 9Fs are preserved. One 9F, "Black Prince" holds the record for hauling the heaviest steam-hauled train in all of England, Scotland and Wales, at 2,198 tons. "Evening Star", the very last steam locomotive built by BR, is also part of the National Collection. Murdoch, Michael (9F) and Evening Star are based on this basis

Lexi

**Lexi** is a boisterous cab-forward engine who worked at the Steelworks on the Mainland. Who now lives on Sodor!

## Personality:

Lexi is an eager and excitable engine. She is proud of being experimental and 'cab-forward'- even though she is convinced this makes her an un-useful engine.

Lexi is upbeat, cheery and outgoing, and likes to experiment with how she presents herself, often trying out different voices and how she phrases her expressions just to see which one she thinks works best. Lexi is not always confident she gets things right, but she loves the excitement of anything new, is very sociable, and keen to explore new things

## Technical Details:

Lexi is based on the North Pacific Coast Railroad (NPCRR) Cab-Forward 4-4-0 No. 21 "Thomas-Stetson", a rebuild of NPCRR #5 which had been wrecked in 1897. An innovative engine built by Bill Thomas, it is considered the first cab-forward engine and was one of the first oil burners, as well as the first engine to use a marine boiler. The engine had insufficient adhesion weight and its oil burners were prone to damage due to their proximity to its water tubes, and it was unpopular with crews, and its unusual appearance earned it the nickname "The Freak". #21 was scrapped in 1905.
