Cattle Trucks

**Cattle Trucks** are rolling stock used for transporting livestock throughout the railways, such as the North Western Railway.

## Biography

Edward once had to take some cattle trucks to a market town. On the line there was a field where some cows were grazing. The noise and smoke produced by the train disturbed the cows as they were not used to it. As Edward passed by, a number of cows broke the fence, ran across the line and broke a coupling, which caused the last truck and the brake van to be left behind (although the narrator referred to it as plural which was due to using the original narration from the Railway Series story). Edward, who believed the jerk was caused by the trucks getting up to mischief, continued on his journey, unaware of the mishap. Percy later found it and used it to when he took Bluebell's calf to Crosby Bridge.

## Personality

Billy Shoepack worked up river, where he transports dangerous loads, notably dynamite, from Mittsville to the logging camp. When Zug and most of the Star Tugs were trapped up river by a tramper blocking the river, Sunshine was sent upriver to get help. Instead, he found Billy. Billy offered to blow up the tramper with his dynamite and despite Big Mac and Top Hat's reservations, blew it in half setting the tugs free to return to Bigg City.

During winter, he helped Sunshine out of a burning log jam by blowing up the logs in the way to make a path. Unfortunately, the blast caused the logs to be washed downstream, out of control, towards Uptown. Once he realized this, he promptly said "Well I think I'll be going then" and quickly left.

Unfortunately, during World War II, Billy Shoepack was blown up in his own dynamite by the nazis, much to the horror and heartbreak of his friends, especially Sunshine. Melody was later built to replace him.

Arlesburgh Maritime Museum

**Arlesburgh Maritime Museum** is a museum dedicated to the preservation of objects related to ships and the sea, located by Arlesburgh Harbour.

## History

Following the discovery of Captain Calles' Pirate Ship in a cavern during the construction of the Harwick Branch Line, the ship was sent to Arlesburgh to be displayed by the museum. A few days later, Marion discovered Captain Calles' treasure from the 16th century. Sir Topham Hatt decided to donate the treasure to the museum, much to the fury of Sailor John, who had been looking for the treasure. John stole both the treasure and the pirate ship, to use as a escape vessel, but was stopped by Thomas and Skiff. The treasure and pirate ship were soon returned to the museum.

At some point, the museum added a mermaid figurehead to the pirate ship. When a fierce storm hit the Island of Sodor, the Museum Director was scared for the safety of the pirate ship. He and Captain Joe checked on the safety of the ship from the harbour lighthouse.

The museum is located in the centre of the junction from which the line to Arlesburgh Harbour deviates from the main branch line. The museum building is four stories high and has a ship-shaped weather vane on the roof. On the museum's southern wall, a mural of the pirate ship is painted, beneath that is a small park with an anchor on display. The museum has two platforms: the main platform is on the eastern side of the building and is used by passenger trains, while the second platform is on the northern side of the building and is used by Skiff's Railboat Tours. The museum is also home to Tim from the former Mid Sodor Railway.

## Engines

Ffarquhar Road

**Ffarquhar Road** is a small village and a station on the Arlesdale Railway and formerly the Mid Sodor Railway. It is named after the road that links Ffarquhar to Arlesburgh. A watermill is located nearby.

## History

In the heyday of the Mid Sodor Railway, the station had one platform on the south - or village - side of the line. The passenger shelter was solidly built using granite off-cuts from the nearby Marthwaite Quarry.

During the line's years of abandonment between 1974 and 2005, the shelter's roof collapsed, however the main structure stood up well. When being restored for the Arlesdale Railway, the station was given a second platform and the shelter was repaired, providing yet another link to the former Mid Sodor Railway.

A branch line now turns southward from the station to a former mine in the Hackenbeck valley, which provides a plentiful resource of weed-resistant spoil.

## History

Knapford Station is the "Big Station" on the western side of Sodor. It has four large glass canopies spanning over six tracks, four being through tracks and two being terminal tracks. Knapford has a refreshment kiosk, the Engine Drivers locker room, an M.C. Bunn stall, Sir Topham Hatt's Office and a bookstall. At one point, the bookstall was temporarily replaced by a toy shop. In *Tale of the Brave*, the station is given a new track layout and signal gantries were added above the lines, with a large yard also being added next to the station in *The Adventure Begins*.

At one point, Sir Topham Hatt decided to upgrade the public announcement system with a new one called the TX-1000, but this caused problems as the sound quality was poor. He decided to switch it back afterwards.

Knapford High Street is located here. A bus leaves from the front of Knapford Station to there every ten minutes.

Thomas was the original station pilot (preceded by Julie prior to *The Adventure Begins*), but he left upon gaining his branch line. Sometime after Percy was bought, he became the station pilot, but when he left for Thomas' branch line, he was replaced by Duck, who eventually left upon gaining his own branch line. Diesel took over about two weeks prior to Duck officially being on the Little Western, and he had Harvey assist him for a while. Amanda took up the position when Diesel went to the Ironworks, and now Charlie, Stafford and Stanley run there. Rosie and Philip were also station pilots at Knapford for a while.

Occasionally, the engines from the Little Western and the Harwick Branch Line stop here, with Daisy making regular stops at the station after the Fat Controller extended her route from Harwick to Knapford.

Ivy and Idina

**Ivy and Idina the Blister Diesels** are supporting characters in the Seventyverse and are owned by the Arlesdale Railway.

## Backstory

When Frank was sent to work at the ballast mines as punishment for crashing into the shed support, Ivy and Idina learn what happened. Although they teased him at first, Idina explained that whereas diesels are nowadays a common sight on the railway, that meant that steam engines are becoming rarer to see outside of heritage railways, and that makes them popular among rail enthusiasts. Ivy then added that it didn't mean diesels aren't important too. This conversation gave Frank something to think about it. When a message got through that Rex had failed at the Green with a leaking steampipe and Frank was to rescue him, the grey diesel wasn't hesitant as he was in disgrace, but Ivy encouraged Frank to go.

## Relationships

### Frank

After Frank was punished by being sent to the mines, Ivy and Idina had a talk with him, explaining how the increasing rarity of steam engines outside of heritage railways makes them popular among rail enthusiasts. Ivy even encouraged Frank to go and help Rex who had broken down.

## Personalities

Ivy and Idina both can be rather cheeky, but thankfully not to the extent of Bill and Ben; the worst that they do is sometimes riling up the bigger engines (on their rails, at least), but they will help out when push comes to shove.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Ivy and Idina are based on Cyril, an engine who works on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. Their trouble starting is based on the trouble experienced with the Muir-Hill Fordson granite tractors that worked at Ravenglass with stone traffic until 1953.

### Livery

Ivy and Idina are painted black with black and yellow visibility panels on their fronts and rears. They wear the numbers (B1) and (B2) on their sides.

## Differences between the books and the series

* Because Blister I and Blister II were not featured in the books and were only mentioned in supporting material, not much known is about their genders or personalities. In this series, the Blister Twins are called Ivy and Idina, are female and both can be rather cheeky, but thankfully not to the extent of Bill and Ben; the worst that they do is sometimes riling up the bigger engines (on their rails, at least), but they will help out when push comes to shove.

## Trivia

* Ivy and Idina's preferred voice actresses are both from *Tweenies*:
	+ Ivy/Blister I - Emma Weaver (Bella's second voice actress)
	+ Idina/Blister II - Colleen Daley (Fizz)
Gustavo

**Gustavo the Large Electric Engine** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and is owned by the Brazilian Railway.

## Backstory

When Canada hosted the Great Railway Show, Gustavo represented Brazil in the Strength Competition, where he won first place. Frieda, who came second was secretly impressed with the Brazilian engine's performance and was most surprised when Gustavo praised her for her efforts. Gustavo then said that winning wasn't everything and all that matters is how you try your hardest and stay a good sport no matter the outcome.

## Relationships

### Frieda

Frieda was secretly impressed with Gustavo's performance and admitted that at least he wasn't a cheater like Vinnie. Gustavo crossed the line first, with Frieda coming in second and Gustavo praised Frieda's efforts, much to the German engine's surprise.

## Personality

Gustavo takes great pride in pulling the express in Brazil. At first glance, he may seem like a pompous express engine like Gordon, but he is actually a very caring and cautious engine who only wants his fellow engine friends to do a good job and does his best to keep them out of harm's way. Another aspect of Gustavo is that he is very humble as he praised Frieda for her effort and told her that wining isn't everything and all that truly matters is how you try your hardest and stay a good sport no matter the outcome.

Gustavo is also proud of being different to the other engines in Brazil. He especially loves to toot his special-sounding horn, to ensure that everyone knows when he is coming.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Gustavo is based on the Little Joe, a class of 4-8-8-4 electric engines. These engines were originally built by General Electric for the Soviet Union, but the company was prohibited from delivering them due to relations between the United States and the Soviet Union deteriorating into what became the Cold War. Five of these engines were sent to Brazil and worked for the Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro, the remainder being sold to the Milwaukee Road and South Shore Line; on the Milwaukee Road, the engines were designated as either "EP-4" or "EF-4", with the second letter designating the engine's primary use ("P" for passenger, "F" for freight).

The term "Little Joe" originated from Milwaukee Road employees jokingly calling them "Little Joe Stalin's locomotives", referencing the Soviet dictator at the time, Joseph Stalin. Two of the Brazilian Little Joes have been preserved, along with three others in the United States, one of which, South Shore #803, is in operating condition at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois.

Kana enjoys going fast and is always up for a game, but she also cares very much for her friends. Although usually up for any challenge, Kana is hesitant to deal with one type of obstacle in particular: Sharp turns. Aside from this, she usually takes whatever challenge she faces with determination and zeal. However, there are some faults that she still has some trouble with, primarily trying to stay still as a statue.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Kana is based on a 0 series Shinkansen, also known as a "Bullet Train". These were the first generation of such engines and were designed specifically to run the high-speed Tōkaidō Shinkansen line in Japan. By 2008, all units had been withdrawn from active service, however a large number are preserved, including one at the National Railway Museum in York, which was donated as a gift by the West Japan Railway Company in 2001.

Kana was modified to run on the North Western Railway, in that she received buffers and a tail-lamp on her rear and she has a pin-and-hook coupling system (which was replaced with a screw-link coupling after The Technology Fair). She later received a battery pack from Ruth to let her run without the aid of power lines.

### Livery

Kana is painted medium lavender with white and yellow bands around her front and sides. She has yellow wheels and tinted-purple cab windows.

Her colour scheme was inspired by concept renders for the E8 Series Shinkansen, a high-speed train ordered to replace the ageing E3 Series. The first of these units was delivered at the end of January 2023, wearing the same livery as the original concept render.

## Trivia

* The preferred voice actress for Kana is Hayley Kiyoko.
