## Biography

When Emily was new to Sodor, she was ignored by the other engines for borrowing and pulling Annie and Clarabel without Thomas' permission or knowledge. The matter was resolved after she saved both Thomas, Oliver and Toad from nearly having a nasty accident on the cross-points and she was rewarded with two new coaches. Emily proved to be kind-hearted, as she was the only engine concerned about Henry when he was ill due to leaky tubes, she stuck up for Salty when Thomas and Percy were teasing him and suggested that Bulgy help the farmer deliver his vegetables around the island, after his passenger services went wrong with some naughty hens.

However, Emily has proven to be a nuisance on occasion as she bossed everyone about when they were clearing up after a storm, Thomas when he was taking passengers and Percy when he was shunting trucks. When pulling the express for the first time, Emily was determined to keep to Gordon's timing. Unfortunately, she became impatient and ran out of water.

Later on she was assigned to the Flour Mill. She soon met with James who was assigned to the Misty Valley Branch Line, primarily the Black Loch and he told her that there was a monster in the Loch. She had trouble with the Flour Mill and ended up crashing some trucks off the line. She was later reassigned to the Misty Valley Branch Line replacing James, where she discovered that the monster was just a family of seals. She is presumed to still work the line as it has never been stated otherwise.

When Thomas had to stay at Knapford Sheds, Emily did not like his company at first as she did not want any noise; she just wanted some sleep. However, she learned how comfortable it is to have the company of friends, missing Thomas when he did not return to the sheds. Originally disappointed once Tidmouth Sheds was rebuilt, she was delighted to find that the shed had gained a seventh berth and she was transferred there to be with her new shed mates.

## Personality

Emily was introduced as being kind, caring, helpful, mature, compassionate and always sensitive to the feelings of others. If she wrongs someone, knowingly or not, she is quick to apologize.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Emily is based on a Great Northern Railway (GNR) G3 Stirling Single 4-2-2. Designed by Patrick Stirling in 1870 with 8ft 1in driving wheels and outside cylinders, these engines were specifically built for high speed expresses between London and York. These engine were also capable of hauling 280 ton trains at 50 mph, though they could reach 85 mph on lighter services. A total of fifty-three engines were built at Doncaster between 1870 and 1895, in three series: the 42 G class engines between 1870 and 1893, the 5 G2s in 1884 featuring helical driving wheel springs and the 6 G3s between 1894 and 1895, of which Emily is one, featuring the latest Stirling boiler and an updated cab. The last was withdrawn in 1916. The only surviving member of all three classes (G class No. 1) is on display at the National Railway Museum. The engine in preservation carried a small capacity Sturrock tender, which was given in it's first restoration in 1910. Recently, a derelict original Stirling Single tender used as a water and sludge carrier was found in Peterborough and, after restoration, was paired with the engine in 2014. Emily's Hornby model depicts her as a Dean Single.

### Livery

Emily is painted emerald with yellow lining and brass fittings. Her running-boards are painted chocolate brown. Her buffers were originally bronze, her buffer housings black, and her front running board dark grey; but all have since turned silver, red, and light grey.
