Scruff

**Simpson "Scruff" the Scruncher** is one of the deuteragonists of the SeventyVerse and the twenty-eighth engine on the North Western Railway. However, he was the twenty-ninth engine purchased for the North Western Railway.

## Backstory

Scruff worked in a waste dump prior to coming to Sodor. It is unknown if he knew anyone on Sodor or the Rolling Hills heritage line prior to coming to the island.

## Waste dump crew

### Whiff

Scruff looks up to Whiff as something of an older brother figure, and he eagerly awaits any task he gives to him.

## Other relationships

### Den and Dart

The Dieselworks duo thought Scruff was a diesel and wanted to help him after he broke down. They were embarrassed to find out he was actually a steamer, but he was grateful none-the-less.

## Personality

Scruff is always eager to jump in and get to work. Sometimes a bit too eager, as he has a superiouty complex. But he will always be brought down to earth with working with rubbish.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Scruff is based on a Sentinel 100 HP BE Type chain-driven vertical-boiler steam locomotive, more specifically, No. 9369 "Musketeer", No. 9366 "No. 11" (nicknamed "Cynthia"), and No. 9365 "Belverdere", all of which are built by Sentinel Waggon Works around 1945-1946. "Musketeer" and "Belvedere" are both preserved by the Northamptonshire Ironstone Railway Trust, while No. 11 remains operational at the the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre.

### Livery

Scruff is painted chartreuse with dark green stripes, funnel and front which is weathered due to him not getting washed. He has brass nameplates on either side of his tanks, which are worn and difficult to read.

## Differences between the episodes

* In the actual series, Scruff appeared before Belle was introduced. In this series, he appeared after Belle.
* Scruff didn't have a number in the TV show. In this series, his old number was 9367, after two of his real life siblings Cynthia (9366), and Belverder (9365). His current number is 28.
* Scruff's real name is Simpson.
Toad

**Toad the Great Western Brake Van** is a Great Western Railway brake van and one of the deuteragonists of the Seventyverse.

## Backstory

Toad first became acquainted with Oliver as he stood up for him against some rude engines. After that, Toad would mostly run with Katrina but occasionally ran with Oliver. After diesels came into existence and Katrina, Isabel and Dulcie were withdrawn, Oliver and Toad decided to escape to avoid the same fate. They were almost caught by Cockade/Diesel 10, Sadie "Splatter" and Delilah "Dodge"., but they were chased off by D7101. Oliver and Toad continued their run until Oliver ran out of coal and they were taken by one of the Ironworks twins to Barrow scrapyard. Fortunately, Douglas arrived at Barrow that same night and helped them to escape to Sodor. Now, Oliver and Toad are a welcome part of the island.

## Little Western crew

### Douglas

Like Oliver, Toad was saved from scrap by Douglas, and he greatly respects him for it. Toad often works with Douglas when Oliver is taking passengers. This became more frequent when Isabel and Dulcie were reunited with Oliver several years later. Not as much is known about Toad's relationship with Donald, but he has taken Toad with him on occasion as well.

### Oliver

Oliver managed to scare off some bullies upsetting Toad, and the two became very close. In return, years later, Toad helped Oliver stand up to S.C.Ruffey. Though they do have disagreements, they do have each other's backs.

### Duck

Though they don't interact that much, Duck non-the-less trusts Toad. Sometimes he will take him out if Oliver or Douglas are preoccupied or being mended.

### Katrina

Toad has a lot of respect for Katrina, as they handled goods trains on the Great Western Railway/Western Region together for a long time. When Toad found out Katrina was preserved, he was very relieved. Now, Toad is shared between Oliver, Katrina and Douglas.

## Personality

Toad is very gentlemanly, polite and loyal towards the engines. He refers to them as "Mr." or "Ms." Toad also likes to have a sing-song, which can sometimes annoy the engines.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Toad is based on a GWR 16-ton brake van. Early vans were just 10 or 16 tons weight, but this gradually increased to 20 and 25 tons. A brake van on the Mid Hants Railway (No. 35907) was renumbered 56831 and given 16 ton markings to match Toad in the television series. A number of these brake vans are preserved by heritage railways, such as the Dean Forest Railway.

### Livery

Toad is painted grey with the letters "**GW**" and his number (56831) written on his side in white.

## Differences between the TVs and books

* In the books, Toad became Douglas' brake van after escaping from scrap. In the TV series, Toad remains Oliver' brake van. In this series, Toad is shared between Douglas, Oliver and Katrina.
Skiff

**Skiff the Railboat** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and is based at Arlesburgh Harbour.

## Backstory

Skiff was originally owned by Sailor John who was on the hunt for Captain Calles' treasure. After Thomas rediscovered the pirate ship in Calles Cavern, Sailor John converted Skiff to run on rails, meeting Thomas for the first time when Thomas was eavesdropping on him. The two befriended Thomas and the three started to looking for the treasure together. Skiff believed that Sailor John would give the treasure to the museum but after Marion discovered it before them, Sailor John revealed he intended to keep it for himself. Thomas then turned on Sailor John. That evening, Sailor John blew up Sir Topham Hatt's office to steal the treasure and Thomas chased him and Skiff all the way to Arlesburgh Harbour. Unfortunately, the blue tank engine was stopped by the sea but Skiff, having had enough of Sailor John's abuse, purposely capsized, which caused Sailor John to lose the treasure. After Sailor John was arrested, Skiff was recovered, repainted into a white-and-blue livery, sold to Captain Joe and started giving "Railboat Tours" around Arlesburgh Harbour.

## Relationships

### Thomas

Thomas befriend Skiff and Sailor John when they were looking for the treasure. After Sailor John was arrested, Thomas asked Sir Topham Hatt to give Skiff another chance, which led to him being bought by Captain Joe.

### Sailor John

Sailor John would abuse Skiff when he owned him. Skiff believed that Sailor John was going to give the treasure to himself but was shocked to learn that he intended to keep it for himself. In the end, Skiff turned on Sailor John and purposely capsized to stop him from getting away.

### Captain Joe

Skiff's a lot happier with Captain Joe who cares for Skiff, as shown when he comforted him after Duck and Oliver were insensitive to him.

## Personality

Skiff is a feisty, fun-loving little boat with a very upbeat and positive attitude, in spite of the fact that his former captain - Sailor John - was not very nice to him. But no matter how much Sailor John bossed Skiff about or how hard he stomped on Skiff's deck, it never seemed to dampen Skiff's spirit. Skiff remained keen to make up again and genuinely thought of Sailor John as his friend, at least until John revealed his true colours. Skiff treats every day as an exciting new adventure; he likes to see the best in everyone and think of the world as a wonderful place. This leaves him vulnerable to persuasion to the point of appearing gullible.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Skiff is based on the Eastport Pram with an added railway chassis. The concept of a railboat comes from the Ffestiniog Railway's Spooner Boat, which served as the inspiration for Skiff.

### Livery

Skiff's hull was painted white, while his mast and woodworkings were stained brown and his wheels were rusted. At the end of *Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure*, he was repainted in a new livery, his woodworkings are now painted blue and turquoise, his wheels red, and his sail is now white with yellow stripes, while his hull remains white.
Thumper

**Thumper the Quarry Machine** is a supporting character in the SeventyVerse and is based at Blue Mountain Quarry. Before this, they were based at Boulder Quarry until its closure.

## Backstory

Thumper was built by the Sodor Mining Company to speed up mining operations. They were brought to Boulder Quarry by Johnson to help clear rock from the cliffside faster.

The workmen were initially impressed with their hard work, however Thumper proved much too powerful. Their accidentally dislodged an enormous boulder from the mountain which crashed into a shed full of dynamite, causing an explosion and subsequent landslide. Skarloey, Rheneas, the Pack and the workmen all evacuated in time but Thumper was not fast enough and ended up trapped in some rocks. Kelly and Nigel went to rescue to him.

After that, Boulder Quarry was shut down as Sir Topham Hatt and Mr. Percival agreed that they should left that part of the island alone. For a long time, Thumper was assigned to work at various quarries all over the island. However, when the Blue Mountain Quarry was opened, Thumper now works there alongside Paxton, Luke, Owen and Merrick.

## Personality

Thumper is bold, enthusiastic and eager to help mine rocks. However, this can and does lead them into trouble. After the boulder nearly crushed Thumper, they were made more subdued and seeked professional help.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Although Thumper was built by the Sodor Mining Company, they are not based on any known quarry machine - at any rate, a machine of their type would be extremely hazardous to those around due to the lack of a window at the front of the cab, making the operator unable to see. Thumper's design appears to be a Hodge-podge of various different machinery. Their front end appears to be based on a Fowler 0-4-0 diesel, while their treads appear to come from a Kliment Voroshilov tank, albeit with the treads mounted backwards with the drive sprocket in the rear.

In real life, a machine of Thumper's design would be impractical due to the end of its arms not providing a sufficient area to loosen the rock on the sides and below and above the machine, let alone be capable of making a proper hole through the cliff face and properly loosening or clearing rocks. Furthermore, the arms appear to be on a non-flexible joint with the side rods attached to the inner arms appearing to be quite thin, thus potentially leading to the machine being more capable of damaging itself than loosening or clearing rocks.

## Livery

Thumper is painted orange-red with his name (Thumper) painted on the sides of his bonnet in white. His roof is painted black.

## Differences between the episodes and the series

* In his sole episode *Rusty and The Boulder*, Thumper had no speaking role and was male. In the adaptation, Thumper was given a role and became non-binary.

## Trivia

* The preferred voice actor for Thumper is Rob Rackstraw who voiced Packer in the UK dub of *Bob the Builder.*
Rajiv

**Rajiv the Boastful Engine** is a supporting character from the Seventyverse and comes from India.

## Backstory

Rajiv was selected to participate in the Great Railway Show as part of the Best Dressed Engine Parade and was on the same ship as Ashima, Frieda, Shane, Yong Bao, Etienne, Axel, Vinnie, Gina, Ivan, Carlos, Raul and Gabriela. Unfortunately, they would end up stranded on Sodor when the ship they're on breaks down. During this time, the engines help around the island, with Rajiv helping Stephen and Millie at the Ulfstead Castle. When the Great Railway Show came, Rajiv won the Best Dressed Parade, which delighted him as it was his twelfth consecutive victory. Two years later, Rajiv competed again in Canada and hoped for a baker's dozen but was shocked when Emily beat him. When James visited India, the two engines got into a fierce rivalry bought on by James being beaten by Rajiv at the Great Railway Show.

## Personality

Rajiv is rather arrogant and vain, believing himself to be a "Royal Engine" due to his crown. He often makes patronising or belittling remarks to the other engines, but his heart is in the right place. He has a good sense of humour and he does care for his friends deep down...though he will often be sensitive if it comes close to his crown getting lost or damaged - he once had a panic attack when the former happened. It is possible Rajiv's overinflated self-importance may mask some insecurity, as he felt useless without his crown.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Rajiv is based on the Fairy Queen, a 2-2-2 tank engine built in Leeds, England for the East Indian Railway Company. It is the oldest operating steam locomotive in regular service in the world. Built in 1855, it was originally used to haul post trains in West Bengal and was used on troop trains during the Indian Uprising of 1857. It was retired in 1909 after working in construction in Bihar and placed on display in Howrah. The Indian government gave the locomotive heritage status in 1972 and it was placed on display at the National Rail Museum in New Delhi until it was restored in 1997 for service working a luxury train between New Delhi and Alwar, Rajasthan. It is based at the Rewari Railway Heritage Museum, operated by the North Western Railway Zone.

The Fairy Queen is built to run on broad gauge rails, whereas Rajiv is standard gauge. Additionally, his buffers are much closer together than the Fairy Queen's. Rajiv is also a replica engine, much younger than the real Fairy Queen.

### Livery

Rajiv is painted royal blue with yellow lining, a black boiler, white wheels and golden details. His funnel is painted in the colours of the Indian flag; orange, white and green striped.

## Differences between the episodes and this series

* In this series, it's mentioned Rajiv won eleven Great Railway Shows in a row before the events of *The Great Railway Show*. This adds to his inflated ego.
Rodney

**Rodney the Rude Engine** is one of the antagonists of the Seventyverse and a member of the Anti Diesel Electric League Revolution.

## Backstory

Rodney was one of the four tank engines that bullied No.50 (the other three being Roxanne, Nathan and Lawrence). In particular, Rodney implied that No.50 was not important enough to have a name and when Sir Bertram Topham Hatt came to buy another tank engine to act as station pilot at Knapford, Rodney mocked No.50 by telling him to go talk to the trucks. To his, Nathan, Roxanne and Lawrence's shock and outrage, however, Sir Bertram not only bought No.50, but also named him "Percy" after his father. Rodney was even said to look like he wanted to thrown himself off a bridge.

## Relationships

### Percy

Rodney implied that No.50 was not important enough to have a name and Rodney mocked No.50 by telling him to go talk to the trucks. When No.50 was bought by Sir Bertram Topham Hatt and named "Percy", Rodney looked like he wanted to throw himself off the bridge.

## Personality

Rodney is rude and belittling of engines he deems unimportant.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Rodney is based on the GER Class A55 "Decapod", an experimental tank engine named so for its ten driving wheels. The engine carried the number 20 and it was designed to prove that steam locomotives could compete with emerging electric locomotives. It achieved its goal on 26th April 1903, during stormy weather. It never entered regular service and was rebuilt to an 0-8-0 tender engine in 1906, being assigned to haul coal trains for GER's March district, remaining the only eight-coupled steam locomotive to work on GER. It was later scrapped in 1913 due to being non-standard.

Hurricane is also based on the GER Class A5 "Decapod".

### Livery

Rodney is painted Brunswick green with a black running board, orange and black lining, Brunswick green steam pipes and black wheels. He has brass nameplates on either side of his running board, the number "21" painted on his front buffer beam in yellow and brass and red number plates on either side of his coal bunker.

## Trivia

* Rodney is based on a GER Class A55 "Decapod", which is the same design as Hurricane.
* Rodney's number is No.21, which is entirely fictional as No.20 (Hurricane's number) was the only A55 ever built in real life.
* Rodney, Nathan, Roxanne and Lawrence are the Seventyverse versions of the Workshop Engines from *Troublesome Engines.*
	+ This wouldn't have been the case in the books however, as Rodney would have been on a separate railway from the one Percy would have been on.
* The preferred voice actor for Rodney is Trevor Devall, who played Iron Will from *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic*.

Scarlett

**Scarlett the Excitable Quarry Diesel** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and owned by the Ffarquhar Quarry Company. She is the Seventyverse version of Kid Station Engine #7.

## Backstory

Scarlett used to work for an industrial line on the Mainland until it closed down. Luckily for her, the Ffarquhar Quarry Company needed another engine to help Mavis so they bought Scarlett and the two diesels now work hard together.

## Personality

Scarlett is very excitable and clumsy. She speaks in broken English and in the third person. Scarlett is a friendly diesel but also tough and fearless.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Scarlett is based on the British Rail Class 06 diesel-mechanical shunter, in particular the Hornby model of the class which has additional toolboxes. This engine also has added cowcatchers and sideplates similar to those worn by the British Rail Class 04 (Mavis' basis). These were never worn by the real Class 06s.

### Livery

Scarlett is painted bright red. Her name is painted on the sides of her cab in white and "THE FFARQUHAR QUARRY CO LTD", is painted on her side plates, also in white.

## Trivia

* The preferred voice actress for Scarlett is Katrina Salisbury, who voiced Yona Yak in *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic*.
Flyer

**Ivo's Flying Bedstead or "Flyer"** was a trolley on the Skarloey Railway and its former seventh engine.

## Backstory

Flyer was built in 1984 for the Skarloey Railway and they help Rusty with the maintenance. One day, they found the last saloon coach, however, after they had told Peter Sam and Sir Handel, Flyer crashed into the buffers and missed Duke's rediscovery. They and Rusty were later joined by Fred. One day, Duke broke down when an avalanche suddenly happened. Luckily, Flyer pushed him out of the way, however they got crushed in the process. Their remains were later scrapped.

## Relationships

### Rusty

Flyer and Rusty work very closely together, being part of the maintenance crew. Rusty often has to keep Flyer's more energetic nature in check, and can be overwhelmed by them sometimes. That being said, Rusty is willing to listen to their crazy theories and stories. Of all the engines, Rusty was among the most devastated by Flyer's death.

## Personality

Ever curious, hyper and eager to please, Flyer is keen to make an impression. They love to patrol the line with Mr. Hugh, making sure everything is safe for the engines. They can come up with crazy ideas, and is always looking to the older engines for advice. Some engines claim that their the North Western Railway's boxcab, Philip, reminds them very much of Flyer.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Ivo's Flying Bedstead is based on the Talyllyn Railway's "Toby". It was built by John Bate from a second hand Austin 7 engine and gearbox, mounted on a custom-made chassis. It entered service in 1955 and was predominantly used to transport up to half-a-dozen men, and sometimes a few wagons, to worksites. Over the years it has been heavily rebuilt, and was fully restored in 2019 after a temporary retirement. The trolley was nicknamed "Toby" by the work crew after noticing a resemblance to Toby the Tram Engine, a character created by the Rev. W. Awdry. According to the books, "Flyer" would have entered service in 1953 before being rebuilt four times (the latest rebuild was in 1987). In this series, they were a new build in 1984, the year right before the 100th birthday celebration of the Skarloey Railway in this series.

### Livery

Flyer is painted brown, a much lighter brown than what Duke wears, and carries the Number 7 on their sides.

## Differences from the book and this series

* Flyer wasn't said to have a number in the books. In this one, Flyer was numbered seven to give Duke and Fred a reason to be numbered eight and nine.
	+ Duke and Fred were still numbered eight and nine in the books despite Ivo Hugh coming much later and being numbered seven.

## Trivia

* Flyer was based on the unseen Railway Series character, Mark V.
* Flyer's preferred voice actor is Linda Ballantyne, Percy's voice actress from *Thomas and the Magic Railroad*.

Paul Percival

**Paul Percival** (born 1972) is a supporting character in the SeventyVerse and is the husband of Annabelle Regaby, the father of Alice Regaby, the son of Peregrine and Polly Percival, the younger brother of Peter and Penny Percival and the older brother of Patrick and Pansy Percival.

## Backstory

Paul is the third child of Peregrine and Polly Percival and the middle child of the Percival siblings. Annabelle also had a crush on him. During his first year at Tidmouth University, Paul met a young woman named Evelyn Broke who seemed to be interested in him and said that her parents were famous fashion designers. The red flags started to become apparent to the rest of the Percival family during dinner at M.C. Bunn. As time went on, Evelyn became more clingy towards Paul until one they were with Gordon and Annabelle at Knapford. When Evelyn refers to engines as "just transport", Annabelle stuck up for them. During the confrontation, Evelyn ordered Paul to keep his opinions to himself but Annabelle defended him as well and Paul, finally having had enough of Evelyn's behaviour, told her it would be a shame if her famous parents found out about her deplorable behaviour. Then Evelyn revealed that her parents were not famous at all - they were completely broke and she was only interested in Paul because he came from a rich family. After that, Paul broke up with her and within weeks, moved on from the messy break up. After that, he and Annabelle were at Crovan's Gate where they confessed their love for each other much to the delight of Peter Sam and Bear but Addison Darnell (who also had feelings for Annabelle) was furious and she ended her friendship with Annabelle. Some years later, Paul asked Annabelle if she would marry him and she was delighted. The two would then be blessed with a daughter - Alice, who was named after Annabelle's late aunt.

## Romance

### Annabelle Regaby

(Details regarding the marriage between Annabelle and Paul to be added)

## Personality

Paul is a friendly chap who is also very smart and kind-hearted. However, he is not the best judge of character as he failed to spot the red flags about Evelyn at first.

## Attire

As a teenager, Paul wore a plaid shirt, blue jeans and blue and white trainers. He also wears oval-shaped glasses.

## Trivia

* The preferred voice actor for Paul Percival is Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker in the *Marvel Cinematic Universe*. His attire as a teenager is based upon that of Ian Lightfoot from Pixar's *Onward*, who was also voiced by Holland.
Sodor Mail Vans

The **Mail Vans** (also known as the **Sodor Mail Coaches**) are rolling stock used for transporting letters and parcels throughout the railway.

## History

These vans are utility vans that form the Mail Train, which is usually pulled by either Thomas or Percy. Oliver and Duck were once briefly transferred to the service and at times when the train is unable to run, Harold usually deputizes for it. Ryan takes a mail van from Arlesburgh West up to Harwick every morning. James even took the mail as punishment for scaring Percy and Stephen about the Phantom Express. Caitlin even took the mail and Flying Kipper but learned how to be quiet and to calm down. Percy is almost always in charge, although other engines pull them occasionally. He is also almost always seen pulling two vans, though occasionally he has pulled more (often in rakes of three when these situations occur).

## Technical Details

### Basis

The mail vans are based on the South Eastern & Chatham Railway Diagram 960 Parcels and Miscellaneous Vans (PMV), introduced in 1919. This van was designated the standard for the Southern Railway, and remained in production, updated as the Diagram 3103, until 1951, remaining in regular service until 1986, with a few surviving on departmental duties into the 1990s. These vans were used primarily for the transportation of letters and parcels. The utility vans share the same basis.

### Livery

The mail vans are painted crimson with black roofs. They have an envelope with wings on their sides.
Jeremy

**Jeremy the Jet Plane** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and is based at Sodor Airport.

## Personality

Jeremy is a jet plane who lives at the Sodor Airport. Being a light aircraft, he enjoys being able to tear through the air at speed, see things from the air that others on the ground cannot and not encountering the obstacles that a steam engine might. As such, Jeremy can have quite a proud, inflated view of himself and may inadvertently put down the usefulness of an engine friend by speaking without thinking. Jeremy will shrug off, rarely acknowledge or choose to ignore the many things that his engine friends can do that he cannot. But Jeremy has a very positive nature and is always happy to team up and lend a hand for the benefit of others, completely putting aside his one-upmanship to be a good friend.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Jeremy is based on a 1963 BAC One-Eleven Airliner, a short distance narrow body twin engine jet built between the 1960s and 1980s. They were mostly used by airlines like British Airways, American Airlines, Braniff Airways, and Ryanair. They were retired from passenger service in the early 2000s and completely phased out on 7 May, 2019. Many of them are preserved in aviation museums on display. Jeremy also appears to resemble the Gulfstream G550.

### Livery

Jeremy is painted white with a blue drop design on the top of his cockpit.

## Trivia

* The preferred voice actor for Jeremy is Attius Shaffer who voices Ono from The Lion Guard.

### Livery

Peeper Pipes is painted in an all-over white livery and wears a white sailor's cap with a blue stripe.

## Differences Between TUGS, Salty's Lighthouse and the SeventyVerse

## Trivia

* The preferred voice actor for Peeper Pipes is Lee Cornes, who voiced him in the original *TUGS* series.
Rickety

**Rickety the Teal Truck** was a truck and one of the antagonists of the Seventyverse.

## Backstory

It is unknown when Rickety arrived but he was troublesome. He mocked Oliver after his accident leading to Douglas derailing him. He held a lot of anger towards Oliver after he ripped S.C.Ruffey apart. He, Fred Pelham, Old King Coal and Old Bennett later caused Toby's tightrope incident. After Old King Coal had been crushed and Fred Pelhay had been turned into a garbage truck. Rickety became leader of the trucks. However one day he had said Ali was as bad as Arry and Bert, leading Diesel to bump him, which damaged his coupling. He later broke away from Gordon who was taking a goods train for Emily after her coupling was damaged. Unfortunately for him, he and some of the other trucks derailed and landed in a field. On top of that, Rickety was crushed in the process, thus ending his life.

Roxanne

**Roxanne the Great Northern Tank Engine** is a supporting character of the Seventyverse and a member of the Rolling Hills Railway. Before this, she was a member of Anti Diesel Electric League Revolution.

## Backstory

Roxanne was one of the four tank engines that bullied No.50 (the other three being Rodney, Nathan and Lawrence). In particular, when No.50 asserted he could only do one job at a time, Roxanne rebuked that his job was get their trains out and when Sir Bertram Topham Hatt came to buy another tank engine to act as station pilot at Knapford, Roxanne laughed at No.50 saying that Sir Bertram would never pick him. But she was proven wrong as Sir Bertram bought No.50 and named him "Percy" after his father, much to Roxanne, Rodney, Nathan and Lawrence's outrage.

## Relationships

### Percy

Roxanne snapped at No.50 to get her next mail train sorted as they couldn't afford unnecessary delays and when No.50 argued that he could got only one job at a time, Roxanne rebuked this. Like Rodney, Nathan and Lawrence, Roxanne was outraged that Sir Bertram bought No.50 and named him "Percy".

(To be updated)

## Personality

Roxanne is shown to be impatient and rude as shown when she orders Percy to get her mail train. Furthermore, when she rebuked Percy, she showed signs of being unsympathetic

## Technical Details

### Basis

Roxanne is based on a Great Northern Railway (GNR) Class N2, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley as an improvement of Henry Ivatt's Class N1, These locomotives were fitted with condensing apparatus because they were used for inter-city work in the Metropolitan areas of London, England, while later examples were usually seen around Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland. One member of this class, No. 1744 has been preserved and operates on the North Norfolk Railway in Norfolk. In addition to being the sole survivor of its class, 1744 is also the sole surviving example of a Gresley designed tank engine.

The tank engine Roxanne is based on was built in February of 1922, withdrawn on the 22nd of September 1955, and presumably scrapped later that year.

Ryan is also based on a GNR Class N2.

### Livery

Roxanne is painted dark blue with orange and black lining and black wheels. The words "BRITISH RAILWAYS" are written in cream on her side tanks and the number 69514 is written in yellow on her bunker.

## Trivia

* Roxanne is based on the GNR Class N2 0-6-2T, which is the same design as Ryan.
* Roxanne's number is GNR No.1735 (later renumbered BR No.69514), which is a real number. No.69514 was withdrawn and scrapped in 1955.
	+ 69514 was the first of the GNR Class N2s to be withdrawn.
* Rodney, Nathan, Roxanne and Lawrence are the Seventyverse versions of the Workshop Engines from *Troublesome Engines*.
	+ This wouldn't have been the case in the books however, as Roxanne would have been on a separate railway from the one Percy would have been on.
* The preferred voice actress for Roxanne is Grey Griffin, who played Vicky from *The Fairly OddParents*.
* Roxanne is also based on the white Ryan recolour from BWBA.
Patricia (GNR)

Toryreck

**Toryreck** is a village and station on Thomas' Branch Line.

## History

For centuries the area below Callan, including what is now Toryreck, had been flooded both at high tide and when the river was in spate. During the 1880s, the Ulfstead Mining Company became interested in the minerals (lead mostly) waiting to be found on the higher ground east of the marsh; but without a firm footing they could not be either extracted or transported away. They called in the drainage firm A.W. Dry and Company who created embankments on the sides of the river and assisted in the construction of a railway, allowing lead mining to begin at Toryreck.

Toryreck's origin was in many ways similar to that of Dryaw, with hutments for A.W. Dry and Company and the Mine's workers also being built on the land reclaimed from the marsh, and eventually expanding into a village, but began earlier. Being on slightly higher ground than Dryaw, A. W. Dry and the Mining Company decided to make their Headquarters here. After a somewhat shaky start the lead mine prospered for a time, but began to get run-down in 1925, before closing in 1930. Latterly however, discovery of uranium in the old workings has led to their re-opening, and the mine’s future looks fair for the present.

The Main Branch joins the Harbour Line south of Toryreck station, which has a staff of five responsible to the Elsbridge Stationmaster. There is a goods shed here; a cattle dock and coal staithes are also provided. The station has a passing loop, but only one platform. The loop is not often used, but comes in handy at busy times and in emergencies.
