Rex

**Rex** is the 'middle child' of the original Arlesdale Trio and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Rex was built in 1923 alongside his non-sentient sister, River Esk. Like his sister, he was rebuilt in 1928. However, his rebuild wasn't as extensive, merely replacing his poppet gear with Walschaerts valve gear instead of receiving a Poultney steam tender.

## Personality

Rex is a playful green miniature engine with a strong sense of humor. He is a hard worker and is the natural leader of the little railway engines (in spite of the fact that Mike prefers to think he’s the leader). Rex is very proud of his railway and a great friend to the other engines, but, he can’t help teasing Mike to stop him getting too full of himself. Most of the time Mike manages to return the banter, but, sometimes he gets a little wound up. Luckily, Rex is very good at helping Mike see the funny side again and is generally kindhearted and friendly.

## Trivia

* Rex's real life counterpart, River Esk, is the R&BR's number 7, while Rex is the Arlesdale Railway's Number 2.
Thomas

**Thomas** is a small blue tank engine who works on the North Western Railway and a character in The Sudrian Dozen. He has two coaches, Annie and Clarabel.

## History

Thomas was built in 1915 as an LBSCR E2 0-6-0T. However, he was built differently from his siblings, having a shorter wheelbase and watertanks, two extra windows on the sides of his cab, no ladder on his front bufferbeam, a longer bunker, and wheel splashers, something his siblings lacked. Also unlike his siblings, Thomas was sentient. He came to Sodor to help with the construction of the newly amalgamated North Western Railway as well as shunting. However, he was discovered to have come there by mistake due to a wartime mixup. Through an inquiry, Sir Bertram Topham Hatt found out that the LB&SCR had written off Thomas as being "lost on war service". Rather than face complications resulting from a change in their books, the LBSCR quietly sold Thomas to the North Western Railway for a "nominal sum." Because he was the first engine bought specifically for the railway, he was made their number one. His driver and fireman got along well with the local people and married Sudrian women. By 1920, neither one wanted to leave the Island or their beloved engine.
Brandon Howard

**Brandon Howard** is a human character in The Sudrian Dozen and the narrator of the series.

## Personality

Brandon is a helpful and intelligent young adult with a particular fondness for steam engines. His greatest dream was to visit Sodor. Despite the scarcity of sentient vehicles in his country, he gets along with the commonplace ones on Sodor just fine.

## Trivia

* Brandon shares the given name and birthday of the creator of the series.
Billy

**Billy** is a tank engine and he is a character who appears in The Sudrian Dozen.

## Personality

Billy is the youngest member of his class and determined to prove his worth, often ending up annoyed when he thinks he’s being looked down on. Unfortunately, his over eagerness leads to him making problems he doesn’t mean to.
Bill and Ben

**Bill and Ben** are twin shunters for the Sodor China Clay Company and characters in the Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Bill and Ben were sold to the Sodor China Clay Company in 1948 when their previous owner, English China Clays, grew tired of their shenanigans while they worked with their non-sentient sister, Judy.

Shane Dooiney

**Shane Dooiney** is the least known of the Culdee Fell engines and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Shane Dooiney came to Sodor just named Shane. The Dooiney part was added after he arrived. He, along with Godred, Ernest, Wilfred, and Culdee first came together in 1900 to run the Culdee Fell Railway and have done so for many years. Shane Dooiney was paired up with the coach, Sophia Diane.

## Personality

Not much is known about Shane Dooiney, other than he resented the fact that his new full name is Sudric for "the Old Man," which implies he wants to be seen as a 'younger' engine. This may be justified if one considers he received the Dooiney part to his name when he was a few days old.
Zak

**Zak** is the 'thuggish' member of the Z-Stacks and a character of The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Zak was built in England off Moran fleet designs in 1920 and transferred to Bigg City Port the same year.

## Personality

He tries to come off as the most thuggish of the Z-Stacks, but, his attempts fall flat because of his faulty engine.

## Trivia

* Zak is the only one of the Z-Stacks that is completely devious in the TUGS series. That has most likely changed in this series.
Annie and Clarabel

**Annie and Clarabel** are Thomas' coaches and are characters in the Sudrian Dozen. They are small, four-wheeled coaches and Clarabel is a brake coach.

## Trivia

* Annie and Clarabel are based on the TVS appearance as LBSCR Stroudley coaches, rather than their appearances in the books as Midland Railway suburban coaches. Gordon admitted that he found the depiction in the books "too long for branch line work", and Brandon commented he found it odd as they weren't from the same railway as Thomas.
Patrick (Steam Engine)

**Patrick** (formerly named **Lord Harry**) is a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Lord Harry came to Sodor simply named Harry. The Lord part was added by the chairman of the railway in the 60's, Lord Harry Barrane. He was paired up with the coach, Luciel Henrietta, when he arrived with Alaric and Eric.

## Personality

When given the name Lord Harry, this made him as arrogant as Godred was. When he first arrived, he looked at Godred and mocked him.
Frank

**Frank** is a grumpy diesel and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Frank was built on Sodor in 1967 and works on the Arlesdale Railway as a shunter. He was built because the tenders of Bert, Rex, and Mike kept derailing over the points when reversing.

## Personality

Frank is often described as being inclined to be grumpy and becomes irritable quite easily, especially when he feels left out of things. When in a bad mood, Frank tends to be uncooperative, leading to mishaps such as his incident with the shed wall. Though he may have a bad attitude at times, Frank knows the importance of friendship and teamwork and will always help a friend in need.

## Trivia

* Frank's real life counterpart - Perkins - was built much earlier than him and even had a fake-steam engine outline before his later rebuild.
* By coincidence, they both have the number 4 on their railways. The difference is that Perkins has the letters ICL in front and Frank doesn't.

The Health Heart is a secondary-heart and a sub-organ that is close to your heart. It can cure you from most poisons and illnesses, sometimes even diseases. It is fan-made, made by UltraInfernistHero. It generated somewhere at 2294, during The Harmonic Migration.
Pádraig

**Pádraig** is a pug tank engine and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Pádraig the Pug is the sole surviving member of the LMS 0F Kitson 0-4-0ST Class. He was purchased by the Sudrian Volunteer Committee as an industrial shunting engine on the Peel Godred Branch Line.

## Personality

Not much is known about Pádraig's personality, though he - like Jimmy - appears to be friendly and polite, having whistled cheerfully to Percy, Thomas, and Toby upon arrival.

## Trivia

* Pádraig was actually named Pug in the books and didn't appear to have a gender.
Caden

**Caden** is a shunter who works at Barrow in Furness and is a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

At some point in 1993, Caden was purchased by the NWR Shunting Crew and was assigned to Barrow.

## Personality

Caden is very gruff and likes to keep his trucks moving from one place to another in an efficient manner. Only Peter has been known to get along with him. He's hinted to have an insecure side as he often questions if he truly belongs to the NWR as he's assigned to Barrow.
Jennings

**Jennings** is Rheneas' sister and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Jennings was commissioned to be built by Fletcher, Jennings, & Co. using Dolgoch's plans for the MSR in 1926 and arrived on Sodor that very year. Jennings temporarily worked on a heritage railway before the Thin Controller purchased her in 2008 as the Skarloey Railway's nineteenth engine.

## Personality

As a sister to Rheneas and Dolgoch, Jennings is a cheerful engine always eager to help out when she can. Like her brothers before her, Jennings is determined to see her duties through even if she's in poor shape. Even on the Skarloey Railway, Jennings is as cheery and upbeat as ever.
Grampus

**Grampus** is a former Navy submarine and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Grampus was built in England off of plans for the USS Grampus (SS-4) in 1903 and launched in 1905. He worked for the United States Navy until 1925, when the navy sold him to Captain Star.

## Personality

Grampus is very courageous, loyal friend and can sometimes be on the cheeky side. He also tends to put his friends' needs above his own as he didn't want them to get into trouble when they were trying to save him from target practice.

## Trivia

* Unlike the show, Grampus actually chose to go out by being used as target practice, somewhat like Whiff in Stories of Sodor: Choices. Unlike in the Stories of Sodor episode, Grampus was saved as he was in the actual episode, not by a lucky lamp.
* Because Grampus was saved from the Navy in 1925, we can infer that the events of Regatta take place that year on July 4th.
BoCo

**BoCo** is a diesel on the Brandam branch and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

BoCo had difficulty working properly, but, was later rebuilt. Even so, James had trouble letting go of his hate of diesels.

## Personality

BoCo always worked as hard as he could despite his faults and is very tame and friendly with everyone.
Bash and Dash

**Bash and Dash** are the Logging Loco shunters of Misty Island and characters in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Bash and Dash were built in 1892 much differently from their non-sentient sibling. When they were originally built, they were wood burners. After being purchased by the Misty Island Logging Company as their second and third engines, they were converted into oil burners.
Lord Stinker

**Lord Stinker** is the garbage barge and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Lord Stinker was built in England and sold to Big City Port in 1923. He was among the barges towed to Sodor in 1943.

## Personality

Despite the nature of his work, he is a friendly, well-spoken, and resourceful barge, who appears to get on particularly well with the Star Tugs.
Zeus

**Zeus** was the Ocean Going tug of the Zero fleet back in the days of Bigg City Port before the TUGS series began and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

The Z-Stacks once had an ocean-going tug named Zeus. He was built in the same factory as Hercules a year before him. Zeus was built off of Moran Fleet designs and transferred to Bigg City Port in 1922, when Captain Zero was still in an alliance with Johnny Cuba. Unfortunately for him, Johnny didn’t take kindly to his personality and used his bow to pin Zeus to the quayside and cut him in two, sinking him. Zebedee witnessed this and reported it to Captain Zero. Zero reported Johnny Cuba to the Port Authority who escorted the gangster out of the harbor. Zebedee still remembers Zeus to this day.

## Personality

Zeus, unlike the other Z-Stacks, was openly friendly, making him popular with both fleets. He formed a close friendship with Zebedee and tried encouraging him to embrace his gentler side. Zeus was the only Z-Stack brave enough to stand up to the notorious gangster.

## Trivia

* Zeus (originally spelt Zues) was a name originally going to be used for Zug and he would have been a harbor tug.
* Zeus was sunk the year before Sunshine arrived and, therefore, a year before the TUGS episodes began to take place.
* Zeus has similar characteristics to Peter from Stories of Sodor.

Jim

**Jim** is the Mid Sodor Railway's goods engine and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Jim was purchased at some point and became the Mid Sodor Railway's dedicated goods engine. Jim was put in an underground storage before being found in 2003, 50 years after the Aluminium Works shut down and became the Skarloey Railway's eleventh engine.

## Personality

A hard-working and patient engine, Jim is the railway's designated goods engine. His favorite train is the Horse and Cart, a mineral goods train that stopped to shunt anywhere and allowed two and a half hours for the 25 miles. Even after his time at the Aluminum Works, Jim is still as patient as they come.
Eric (Mountain Engine)

**Eric** is a young, nervous mountain engine and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

When Eric arrived with Lord Harry - later Patrick and Alaric and he was paired up with the coach, Eugenia.

## Personality

Eric is the youngest of the Culdee Fell engines and frequently asks older engines for advice. Whenever things start going wrong, he tends to get nervous and hyperventilate. When he goes up or down the mountain, his focus is fixed on the track.
Tiger Moth

**Tiger Moth** is a bi-plane and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Tiger Moth is a faceless sentient bi-plane that survived World War I.

## Personality

Tiger Moth did dangerous tricks to show off and was very rude, but, learned his lesson after crashing into a haystack.

## Trivia

* Tiger Moth had a face in a magazine, but, not in the show.
Caroline

**Caroline** is a car owned by the Cricket Club and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Caroline was built in 1926 and was purchased by the Elsbridge Cricket Club two years later. Most of her drivers push her too fast despite her attempts to resist. Because of this, she need maintenance regularly.

## Personality

Caroline enjoys taking leisurely drives along the beautiful Sudrian countryside. She dislikes being pushed along too fast, as it will overheat her engine. She is very calm in nature and appreciates the engines. She loves the occasional picnic where she is parked for the duration. She used to think railway engines were silly until she discovered how they can save the wear and tear on her wheels.

## Trivia

* Caroline is one of the few sentient vehicles who went through a metal fatigue overhaul and was cured. Many sentient vehicles die from these procedures and often opt for the Final Firing instead.
Mike

**Mike** is the youngest of the original Arlesdale trio and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Mike, like his non-sentient sister, River Mite, was built off the chassis of a Poultney steam tender. Mike specifically was built from the steam tender intended for Rex that ultimately got turned down in favor of new valve gear. Mike resents the fact that he used to be a powered tender.

## Personality

Mike means well and works hard, but, can sometimes appear a little cunning and arrogant. He thinks he should be in charge of the other two engines, though neither of them really let him boss them around. Bert simply humors him, but, Rex goes out of his way to tease Mike and wind him up, which is not very difficult given the fact that he is hot-headed. Mike much prefers pulling goods trains to passengers, unlike James, as he considers goods much more straightforward and less likely to complain. He is proud of his strength and appears rather confident, but, he would not be so easy to tease if he was not hiding at least a little insecurity. He can sometimes be a little argumentative and irritable and it is common for him to overheat when he loses his temper.

## Trivia

* Mike's real life counterpart - River Mite - was No. 9 for the R&ER, while Mike is No. 3 for the Arlesdale Railway.
Terence

**Terence** is an orange tractor who runs near Thomas' branch line and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Terence was built in America in 1934 and arrived on Sodor in 1947. In the winter of that year, he saved Thomas from a snowdrift.

## Personality

Terence is an assertive orange tractor with caterpillar tracks. The engines find these very unusual, but, Terence is very capable of proving that he does not need rails and that his tracks allow him to go practically anywhere. He takes any teasing in the name of fun and is happy to get on with his job, usually partaking in agricultural work. Terence never hesitates to assist in emergencies or sticky situations, road or rail, due to his helpful, forgiving nature. His tracks are particularly invaluable in harsh winter conditions when snow can affect transport across the Island. He may be slow, but, he is versatile, adaptable, and helpful. He can usually be found transporting agricultural produce or cheerily ploughing fields beside Thomas' branch line. Sometimes, though, he can get a little overconfident and forget to listen to his own advice: "You have to be sensible if you want to stay safe!"
Gordon

**Gordon** is an express engine and a character in the Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Gordon is a GNR/LNER Gresley A0, the prototype of his class. The only other A0 is Thompson (the Flying Thistle). Both were used experimentally to find faults in the design. They were never put into regular traffic or assigned GNR numbers. Once all the defects were cured, the first official batch appeared in 1922/23. In 1923, therefore, Gordon and Thompson were no longer needed and sold off. Gordon was sold to the North Western Railway, while Thompson went elsewhere.

## Trivia

* Like the TVS, Gordon can hardly stand having Spencer for a cousin.
* Even though Gordon and Henry are no longer cousins, he still honors Henry as his family.
Bluenose

**Bluenose** is a stuck-up Navy Tug and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Bluenose the Naval Tug was built in 1915, during the Great War. In 1943, he was sunk during a Nazi air raid that destroyed most of Bigg City Port.

## Personality

Bluenose plays precisely by the rules, and acts as a stereotypical army sergeant towards the other characters. He is obnoxious, bossy, pompous, and self absorbed. He often refers to the other tugs as "laddie" and is notorious for putting orders before using common sense.

Bluenose also has a tendency to abuse his status and position as a naval tug and is not above bullying other tugs to get his way. Ten Cents even considers him to be worse than the Z-Stacks and the two fleets share a mutual dislike towards him.

## Trivia

* Bluenose is, so far, the only canon character to be alive in the show only to be killed off in the series later on that is not a human.
Glynn

**Glynn** is a Coffee Pot and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Glynn was originally designed and built by Sir Bertram Topham Hatt along with three other Coffee Pot engines in 1905 for the Tidmouth, Knapford, and Elsbridge Light Railway. Of the four Coffee Pots, he was the only one to be sentient. He helped build the NWR when his railway closed. In 1934, he chose to be a static display at Ffarquhar Station. As of 2001, he's a member of the Estate Railway.

## Trivia

* In the TVS and RWS, it’s highly likely Glynn’s siblings were sentient, but, in this series, only Glynn himself is.
Top Hat

**Top Hat** is a railway tug and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Top Hat was built in England using plans from a San Francisco tug and New York Central Tugboat 13 in 1921 and arrived in Bigg City Port that same year.

## Personality

Although he tries to avoid any job that will make him dirty, he is used for a wide variety of tasks around Bigg City Port, mainly distributing railway rolling stock with his barges, Frank and Eddie. Despite his problem with dirty jobs, he is often used to tow Lord Stinker the garbage barge in episodes such as "High Tide." In that episode, he gained a great respect for the barge. Yet in other episodes he complains about the garbage itself and often teases Warrior for his garbage smell.

Top Hat cares mainly about himself and saving his own neck. He may pretend to be cool and collected, but, when he is actually faced with a threat or is placed in danger, he will panic and complain. This type of behaviour is shown in the episodes "Ghosts" and "Regatta." He is often ridiculed by his companions, particularly Ten Cents and the villainous Z-Stacks.

Despite his self-absorbed and arrogant demeanor, Top Hat has proven himself on numerous occasions and can cope fairly well in an emergency, such as when he propped up Zebedee's steel load under a railway bridge to help Puffa get across and when he used Lord Stinker to save Little Owl from a serious accident when the bridge collapsed. Despite the fact that he very rarely shows it, he cares deeply for the Star Fleet.
Timothy

**Timothy** is an oil burning steam engine and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Timothy was built at Bell Locomotive Works, Inc of New York City in 1920. He would work for various industries in the city before the Sodor China Clay Company would purchase him 29 years later. Timothy also speaks with a New York accent.
Prologue

The **Prologue** is technically episode zero of The Sudrian Dozen.

## Plot

The prologue goes on to describe the Island of Sodor in vast detail, it's oceans, fields, beaches, birds singing, streams and rivers. It also describes the railway lines, its biggest icon, attraction, and business industry. The narrator reveals himself as Brandon Howard, who is a mechanic of the North Western Railway and friend of the Steam Team and he wishes to tell everyone their story as the prologue ends.
Shermy

**Shermy** is a Shay Locomotive and a minor character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Shermy is the engine from Salty's story when he got rescued by some buyers. They didn't buy Bash, Dash, or Ferdinand because they looked 'quirky.'

## Personality

Not much is known about Shermy, but, he was close enough with his colleagues that they missed him.

## Trivia

* While Shermy is based on a Shay Locomotive, it's unclear which one he's based off of, which means it's unknown where he was built, if he was a tender engine or tank engine, or how big or small he was.
Boomer

**Boomer** is a 'jinxed' tug turned houseboat and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Boomer was built on a Friday the 13th in the 1920s in Ireland off American designs and named Captain Harry. After being sold, he was renamed Boomer. In 1924, he was rebuilt into a houseboat and free of his jinx. He remains a houseboat to this day.

## Personality

As a result of his chronic bad luck, Boomer was rather pessimistic, sarcastic, and bitter. He also showed some suicidal tendencies when first introduced such as not caring if a ship ran him down in the estuary or if he sank. However, he was just as goodhearted as any other tug and was always most concerned about the impact his jinx had on others. Once his problems were cured, he happily started anew, with a much more positive attitude.

## Trivia

* As Friday 13th is supposedly considered unlucky, this might have been why the date was chosen as Boomer's built date.
Skarloey

**Skarloey** is the oldest narrow gauge engine on Sodor and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Skarloey is the oldest engine on the railway, arriving in 1865 to manage the Skarloey Railway. Rheneas joined him in short order and the duo got into their fair share of quarrels before eventually learning sense.

## Personality

Skarloey the sage of the railway and an old, faithful engine. He’s a calm-natured, quaint, and mature engine and may often try to guide or watch over less experienced narrow gauge engines in his firm, but, fair and friendly manner. He acts kindly to engines and passengers alike and always enjoys a gentle, smooth journey through the woods by the lakeside and stopping at all the gates and stiles he remembers so well.
Edward

**Edward** is a small blue mixed-traffic tender engine and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## Trivia

* Edward learned how to shunt from Albert, who then passed this knowledge onto Thomas when he arrived on the North Western Railway.
* In his younger days on the Furness Railway, Edward was very cocky as he used to be an express engine. Thomas still has trouble wrapping his smokebox around that.
Jock

**Jock** is the youngest Aresdale steam engine and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Jock was built in 1976 by the Arlesdale Railway's Chief Engineer, Ivan Farrier, working with Ian Smith of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, who also needed a fourth steam engine. Smith used Jock's plans with Farrier's consent to make that engine, Northern Rock, in England. Jock's design incorporates all the best features of Bert, Mike, and Rex. As in the case of Bert, the tall chimney and cab give Jock a true narrow gauge appearance.

## Personality

Jock was very cocky when he was first built, as a result of being stronger and more popular than the other engines, but, soon learned the value of teamwork when Mike's injector failed and he had to pull Mike and his train single-handedly. Afterwards he became more helpful and kind towards the engines.

## Trivia

* Jock's real life counterpart - Northern Rock - is the R&ER No. 10 while Jock is the AR's number 6.
Reginald

**Reginald** is the foreign engine and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Reginald the Big City Engine is the sole survivor of the LMS Patriot Class. He was also the Prototype of his class, being built in 1924 by Sir Henry Fowler. He visited Sodor in 1956 as per Gordon Goes Foreign. It wouldn’t be until six years later that he became a member of the Sudrian Volunteer Committee, helping with passenger-related work. He, Gordon, and Duck have long since set aside their rivalries.

## Personality

Reginald was rather pompous, conceited, and single minded, as well as argumentative. He has since mellowed out considerably.

## Trivia

* Reginal's Railway Series counterpart was unnamed and was not a prototype, instead being one of the real life patriot classes.
Jeremy

**Jeremy** is a jet plane and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Jeremy flew to various countries around the world before being bought by the Sodor Airport in 2005.

## 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.
Jerry

**Jerry** is cheeky yet well meaning Mid Sodor engine and a character in The Sudrian Dozen.

## History

Jerry was built in 1921 after his non-sentient sister, Doll. He was the fourth member of his class (the others being Winifred, Gertrude, and Doll) and the only one who was sentient.

On various occasions, O.J. has demonstrated his ability to devise swift and clever strategies to help himself and his fellow Stars out of predicaments. He does not stand for nonsense and is quick to correct the younger tugs if they make mistakes. Despite his occasionally harsh approach, O.J. cares for his fellow Stars as a grandparent would for their grandchildren. In addition to being wise, O.J. is also quite sharp, like in Sunshine where he admitted that he was suspicious as to why Zorran showed up almost instantly after Sunshine lost control with the Duchess or in Quarantine where he suspected foul play when Nantucket lowered his quarantine flag even though there was no coast guard in sight.

## Trivia

* In Salty's Lighthouse, O.J. is called Otis. In the Sudrian Dozen, Otis is what the O in his initials actually stands for. MrBULERANGERHERO came up with this because he felt it would be strange for him to be called "Old" when he was young.

## History

Sigrid of Arlesdale was built in 1969 along side her non-sentient twin, Shelagh of Eskdale. She was originally built with a Ford 4 cylinder engine. Unfortunately, it didn’t give enough power. This meant she broke down on the regular, something Mike gave her grief about.

## History

Imported from Philadelphia, Stanley is a very strong American engine. His accent frequently confuses his Queen's English-speaking co-workers, but, he's able to explain when he can.
