Shaw Savill is a SR Merchant Navy who use to live at Nine Elms Sheds, he is a former "owner" of Marvin.

## Bio:

Shaw Savill's early life is unknown, but at some point he took ownership of Nine Elms Sheds and turned it into his very own club. At another point Shaw came across Maria and offered her a new home at Nine Elms which she accepted. Some time before the 1950s, Shaw met Marvin and offer a deal to the former SECR H class to work for him as one of his clients which Marvin accepted.

During the 1950s, Shaw got physical with Marvin after he disobeyed him and he soon lost his cool with the H class tank engine when he accidentally broke his glasses. Enraged, Shaw pinned Marvin against the buffers stating to him that he had to listen to everything he told him to and that he owns him. Halfway through his speech, Jasper pulled up along side Shaw and asked “Shall we get Started”. The two engines drag Marvin away who was begging for mercy, it is unknown what Shaw and Jasper did to Marvin.

In 1964, Shaw learned that he was going to get withdrawn from service which enraged the Merchant Navy causing him to smash some trucks to vent his frustrations. To make matters worse for Shaw, his club was starting to decline as he was losing business and clients. Marvin told Shaw that he couldn't just camp out at Nine Elms and that engines older than him were being withdrawn every day, but Shaw told him to shut up and ordered him to go do some work even though Marvin himself was withdrawn too. Shortly after Marvin left, Jasper arrived in with some goods for Shaw. The N15 commented on how much of a ghost town Nine Elms has become and asked him where everyone has gone, but Shaw told him it was nothing for him to be concerned about. During their conversation the two engines started to get into a fight as Jasper had reminded Shaw that he still hasn't paid him and how their relationship was going which ended really badly. Jasper tried to apology for what he said, but Shaw didn't want to hear it and ordered him to leave. Five months later, Shaw discuss his plan to Maria and explained that originally they along with Jasper and Marvin were going to go on the run to find a new place to restart their business, but due to the fact that Jasper left, it was left to the two of them and Marvin. However plans changed when Marvin returned and told Shaw that he was no longer owned by him as he had been bought, a man stepped out of his cab and told Shaw off for how he had been treating the other engines over the years and how he had been helping to rope some engines out of his contracts. After that Marvin taunted them both and also told Shaw that his glasses "Look stupid as fuck" before leaving Nine Elms for the last time. This news enraged Shaw which resulted in him smashing some vans out of anger, he then told Maria to get anything that wasn't broken and that they were leaving during the night. After gathering what wasn't broken, the two engines left Nine Elms Sheds and headed to Eastleigh Works to pick up some more rolling stock to help restart their business. Along the way to Eastleigh, they encounter Duchess, Ryan, and Barry at Brentford Station who were also on the run from scrap too. Shaw was quite impressed to meet them and offered to help them which they gladly accepted, after he told them where they could find a turntable, Maria could tell exactly what he was thinking to which he explain to her that they may have just met their first clients to help restart his business. The group then processed to head to Eastleigh Works where they laid low for the morning so they wouldn't get spotted by diesels. Several hours later, Shaw along with Duchess and Barry were awoken by Maria and Ryan who introduced them to Sir Pelleas a N15 King Arthur class and Ben a D3/12 diesel shunter. After getting themselves acquitted and making the decision that the best place to seek refuge would be at Crewe, he instructed Ben to keep watch for them while they got ready for their run at night which the D3/12 diesel shunter agreed to help and also pointed out where they could find a water tower and coal bunker. Shaw went to get refuel first, Maria could tell that Shaw was delight to find more clients to help restart their business. He then told Maria to continue to look around for anything that they could take with them before they would head out at night. Maria came across some old LBSCR coaches which she took an interest in, when she showed them to Shaw, he was less than impressed but Maria pointed out it was better than leaving empty handed. Shaw then instructed Ben to keep watch for an opening in the schedule and also offered him to join them, but he declined the offer as he had his shunting duties to take care of at Eastleigh. Once Ben gave three toots of his horn to signal of the all clear, the group left Eastleigh Works that night to make the journey up to Crewe, but along the way the group ended up crashing into Meryl at Oxford who was derailed due to crashing into some trucks that were left on her line. After getting Shaw Savill and Meryl back on the rails thanks to the help from Lucas, they were spotted by a passing diesel which sent the engines into a panic. After he was back on the rails, Shaw told Lucas and Meryl to come with them if they wanted to live, while Lucas agreed to come along, Meryl stated that she didn't want any part of their escape, getting rather annoyed Shaw bashed the derailed trucks aside and drag Meryl along who was shouting for him to let her go. The group stop at Gloucester to catch their breath, Duchess suggested that they should get themselves organize before going on and when Shaw said he was going to have a look around the yards to look for anything of value, tensions between the engines began to heat up when Shaw revealed his true colors and what he had planned for them. He even revealed that he didn't care what would happen to any of them and that they should do what he says as he claimed himself leader of the group, this resulting in him fighting against Duchess and Ryan. His anger reached its boiling point when Meryl smashed the trucks they had with them into him resulting in his glasses being broken in the process. Shortly after the group was confronted by Roderick, Levi, Goyle, Western, and Whistler who had been hunting the group down; they tried to make a run for it, but they ended up trap at the yards of Gloucester. In a desperate attempt to protect themselves, Shaw took Simon a BR class 01 diesel shunter hostage and ordered the DJD to back off or he would send Simon back to them in pieces. The steam engines started to argue with Shaw and demanded him to release Simon, but he refused and told them not to. They ended up staying where they were for a whole day and during the night after he told Maria and Lucas to get some sleep, he went to go and speak to the diesels. Shaw had a one on one chat with Roderick who he decided to call him Lumpy, he tried to make a deal with the blue class 28 to exchange the other engines' lives to save himself and Maria, but Roderick declined the deal and told him his point of view. Roderick told him that he will give them one hour to surrender themselves or he would be in worse shape than his glasses which he broke further with his claw in front of the Merchant Navy. Shaw retreated back to the other engines stunned from his conversation with Roderick, as he did so, he questioned Duchess of what she was doing with some vans who simply told him that she was just making some room for them, when really she was trying to release Simon. Shaw didn't think much of it, but a little later he asked the other engines how the diesel was doing, they didn't response to him and when he checked for himself he found that Simon was gone. He was left furious when he realized that Duchess, Ryan, Barry, Sir Pelleas, and Meryl had released Simon, but his anger quickly turned to horror when he saw the diesels coming for them. He woke up Maria and Lucas and told them to run for it, Shaw bashed Goyle aside and began fighting against Roderick, but he soon slipped passed him to stop Western from trying to capture Maria and Lucas which resulting in him derailing himself in the process. Maria was horrified that Shaw was captured, but he shouted for her to keep running. After that the group was apprehended by the DJD and sent to their respective scrapyards. Shaw Savill and Barry were taken to Barry Scrapyard in Wales by Levi and Whistler who taunted them both as they left. Barry went on lecturing Shaw how this was all his fault which angered the Merchant Navy even further.

## Personality:

From Shaw Savill's former statues as the main engine in charge of Nine Elms Sheds had lead him to be an overlord giving commands and orders to the smaller engines to do his bidding.

Shaw Savill acts professional and cunning towards the other engines, but as soon as someone disobeys him or something goes wrong, Shaw Savill starts to get vicious, ruthless and sadistic in desperation to make sure he gets his own way and keeping the other engines in line.

Although, Shaw Savill is selfish and only thinks of himself, there has been times where he has shown kindness towards Maria, seeing her as a daughter figure, as well as other engines who listen to what he says like Lucas.

## Technical Details:

Shaw Savill is based on the real locomotive of the same name, built in July 1942 for the Southern Railway (SR) at Eastleigh Works, to a design by Oliver Bulleid. In March 1957, Shaw Savill was rebuilt just like the rest of the SR Merchant Navy to have their air-smoothed casing removed and replaced with conventional boiler cladding. In July 1964 the locomotive was withdrawn from service and later in December of that year arrived at the Woodham Brothers scrapyard (Barry's scrapyard).[1]

The locomotive stayed at Barry's Scrapyard until it was finally purchased in 1985, although the engine didn't officially leave site until 1989 and was preserved on the Mid Hants Railway (Watercress Line).[2] It was later sent to various heritage railways and private workshops until it's current owner Ian Riley had offered the locomotive for sale.[3] By 2019 Shaw Savill was still in unrestored condition, in September it was announced that the engines was to be restored to working order at Riley & Son Ltd in Heywood located on the East Lancashire Railway.[4]

## Trivia:

* Shaw Savill's personality is based on the Hazbin Hotel antagonist character, Valentino.
