Preserved visitors

In both the movie and series of 'The Midlander', many actual **locomotives that have been preserved** visit the railway. This would be during their BR days or under private hands after being saved.

## Leanne/Leander

### Designer

Sir William Arthur Stanier FRS

**Leander** is a Stanier Jubilee 4-6-0 that vists the Moorland Steam Railway. She even visited the line during her time before withdrawal by British Railways. Leander prefers to be called **"Leanne"**.

### Bio

Leanne was built in 1936 by the LMS Crewe Works for express services on the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS). She's a member of the famed Stanier 5XP or "Jubilee" class 4-6-0, dubbed by Shane Sowter as "the passenger version of Stanier's equally-famed "Black Fives". Most of her life has been full of ups and downs, even entering British Railways traffic in 1948. Surprising, she prefers to be called "Leanne" instead of what is on her nameplates, 'Leander' (after the Royal Navy light cruiser HMS Leander). She commonly visited the Gladsville Line in both BR days and in her later preservation career.

She was withdrawn in the mid-1960s and sent to Woodham Bros ("Barry Scrapyard") for disposal, but was saved by preservationists in the 1970s, along with 216 other steam locomotives at Barry Scrapyard. When was returned to traffic, the steam ban (placed in 1968) was lifted and was now in her old LMS Crimson Lake livery. She also found herself popular with enthusiasts on the mainline, even double-heading with the last surviving Midland Railway (MR) 1000 class 4-4-0 "Compound". She returned to Northampsmith in 1985 and even found out that two of her brothers (believed to have been scrapped) had even survived on the MSR, one which she thought was broken up before she was rescued.

### Livery

During the 1960s, Leanne was painted in BR Lined Brunswick Green with Late Crest.

As preserved, Leanne is painted in LMS Crimson Lake.

### Basis or real locomotive

   Leanne is based on the real locomotive. It was built by 1936 by Crewe Works for express duties on the West Coast Main Line (WCML) between London Euston to Glasgow. It was withdrawn on 31st of March 1964 from Bristol Barrow Road shed and sent to Woodham Bros at Barry for disposal, but was preserved after a few years of rusting. Leander is one of West Coast Railways' main steam locomotives and is currently in service.

### Trivia

Leanne was the red 4-6-0 piloted by a SR Schools class 4-4-0 at the end of the movie.

Leanne is also a character in Dark DJ Productions' 'The Dark Railway Series' and is so far the only female antagonist (In that series). Traits of this character are passed of into 'The Midlander' via the line, "Don't call me Leander!", and Highland's evil attitude.

Leanne's model is two renumbered Bachmann OO gauge Stanier Jubilee 4-6-0s, one in BR Brunswick Green with Late Crests (given a weathered finish) and LMS Crimson Lake. The latter is a DCC-sound fitted version as No. 5588 'Kashmir'.

Hood, New South Wales, Australia, Windward Islands and Victoria are also members of her class.

Leanne is named after the lead ship of the Royal Navy Leander-class light cruisers, HMS/HMNZS Leander (75). This ship served under the Royal Navy and in WWII with the Royal New Zealand Navy. The cruiser was given back to Britain who sold the vessel for scrap in 1949. HMS Leander was broken up a year later.

## Maude

### Designer

Mathew Holmes

**Maude** is a Scottish 0-6-0 goods locomotive that has been officially preserved to run on heritage railways. He knew Capulet and the two hate each other. He's one of 25 members of his class shipped to France in WWI (where he got his name).

### Bio

Maude (before known as **No. 673**) was built in 1891 for goods work on the North British Railway. For his small size, he was built to match the very strict Scottish loading gauge and like every Scottish locomotive of his time period, he and his classmates have better covered cabs. During World War One (WWI), he was one of many locomotives sent off to France under the Railway Operating Division (ROD). After he returned, No. 673 was named 'Maude', after Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Stanley Maude but when they going write his name on his splasher, he simply answered by saying, "Good luck trying to write that on my splasher."

In mid-LNER days (as No.9673), he met Capulet when he arrived at Edinburgh with goods traffic bound for other places in Scotland. Due to them saying that they were pure heavy goods designs, the two created a hatred towards each other.

In 1992, Maude visited the Moorland Steam Railway (MSR) and was not pleased to see that Capulet had been saved for preservation. After Maude told the operational MSR fleet about the Tay Bridge Disaster of 1879 and after a little chat, he and Capulet later decided to leave their grudge and become friends, since they were now the last members of their own respective classes of the LNER. That same year, both he and Capulet busted an illegal cat meat trade using the MSR's 'Meat Run' as a cover for their operation. Maude left the railway in 1993 and was given a send off by Capulet, since the duo were normally seen together in 1992. Maude hasn't returned to the MSR since and is currently out of traffic and awaiting an overhaul.

### Livery

Maude is painted in the Scottish Railway Preservation Society's version of NBR Lined Black.

### Basis

   Maude is based off the real locomotive. It was one of 25 NBR C class 0-6-0s shipped to France in WWI by the ROD. It returned home in 1919 and gained the name 'Maude', due to its military action during the war. The locomotive is owned by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society and is currently not operational in BR Unlined Black with Late Crests.

### Trivia

Maude is named after Lieutenant General Sir Patrick Fred Lee "Fredrick" Stanley Maude, Knight Commander of the Bath. The name was too long, so his surname was used instead.

Maude's model is a Hornby Twin Track Sound (TTS) OO gauge model. This model has no modifications to enhance its appearance.

Maude is the second Scottish 0-6-0 seen in the series but not the first Scottish steam locomotive, that honour goes to Highland (in her "Catherine" disguise) and the first 0-6-0 was MSR resident Jumbo.

The real Maude was used in the filming of the 2000 TV movie 'The Railway Children' on the Bluebell Railway, West Sussex.

Maude's quote "Good luck trying to write that on my splasher" is based on a quote that Chris Eden-Green says in his SOLE S.L.I.P. about this locomotive when referring to its name: "Good luck fitting that on the splasher."

Part of Maude's personality comes from a locomotive named 'Barry', a BR Standard 9F 2-10-0 created by Thomas Dibton in 'The Dark Railway Series' and voiced by Anthony Sims.

Maude served as the main narrator for the Mini Series 1990s episode 'Bridge over the Tay'.

## Brighton/Newport

### Designer

William Stroudley (as built), Douglas E. Marsh (rebuilt)

**Brighton** (later renamed **Newport**) is a small LB&SCR Terrier that visited the Moorland Steam Railway in 2015. He was good supporter of the railway's plans to recreate a lost steam locomotive class from the old LMS.

### Bio

Brighton was built in 1878 in the city he was named after with his original LB&SCR number 40. That same year, he was sent to the Paris Exhibition to demonstrate the power of air brakes. He came back with 'GOLD MEDAL' written above his name, bringing him fame among his classmates (besides No. 72 'Fenchurch'). Brighton lost his name when he was sold to the Isle of Wight Central Railway (IWC) and renumbered '11' by the IWC.

During the Grouping Act in 1923, Brighton was renumbered by the Southern Railway by having the prefix 'W' added to the front of his number (the W meaning he works on the Isle of Wight). Brighton got his new name, 'Newport', in 1930. He got bored running along the whole Isle system and hoped for a return to the mainland for proper service. When BR came in 1948, he got his wish and ended up back on the mainland working the "Hayling Billy" service, Kent & East Sussex Railway (where a few of his brothers ended up after being sold to Colonel Holman Fred Stephens) and some spells at his birthplace. During those BR years, he was numbered '32640'. Brighton was given to Billy Butlin for display at his Pwllheli holiday camp in Wales, long way from Southern territory.

Brighton was given to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway and has only run under the name 'Newprt' for his preserved life. He came during the MSR's 2015 gala weekend, and made himself a friend of the railway's fleet before returning to the IoWSR.

### Livery

Brighton is painted in Southern Railway Olive Green under his IoW name.

### Basis or real locomotive

Brighton is based off the real locomotive. It was 17 reboilered from A1 "Terriers" with new superheated boilers and a redesigned front end. The Terriers were kept on small branchline like the Hayling Island line, which would be the cause of their long life. A few became celebraties such as Stepney and Fenchurch and further withdrawals of the class beginning in the 1940s after WWII but the last one wasn't retired until 1963, thanks to the Hayling Island line's weak wooden trestle bridge that linked the island with the UK mainland. In both forms, 10 have been preserved with one being in the United States and another converted back to A1 from A1X (No. 672 'Fenchurch') in 2001.

## Royal Scot

### Built for

London, Midland & Scottish Railway (as built)British Railways (rebuilt)

### Designer

Sir Henry Fowler KBE (as built)Sir William Arthur Stanier FRS (rebuilt)

**Royal Scot**, formerly **King's Dragoon Guardsman** before the 1933 identity swap, is a large Rebuilt Royal Scot class 4-6-0 who is seen often and plays major roles in the mini series. In spite of the old name, she always says she is the real Royal Scot (and has memories from that locomotive).

### Bio

King's Dragoon Guardsman was built at Derby works with the original parallel boiler. In 1933, her name was changed from class leader No. 6100 'Royal Scot' in an identity swap. Little did both know that this identity swap was permanent. Now named 'Royal Scot' she visited the United States of America (USA) for the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago, Illinois. After a few runs in Canada, Royal Scot was returned to the UK, and was happy to say goodbye to that rubbish cowcatcher.

Royal Scot lost her work as a primary express locomotive in the mid-1930s with the arrival of William Arthur Stanier's new Princess Royal class 4-6-2 locomotives, which proved to be better than the Royal Scot class 4-6-0s by Sir Henry Fowler KBE. Even with this new arrival, Royal Scot still found herself running express between Euston to Glasgow, since her class was built for express-passenger duties. Following Nationalisation, Royal Scot became BR No. 46100 and kept her name, plus her duty. Unfortunately, her parallel boiler was life-expired and needed replacement. Since other members of her class were being rebuilt with Type 2A taper boilers, which were a part of Stanier's standardisation plan on the LMS.

Royal Scot was rebuilt at Crewe in 1950 with the Type 2A boiler and her performance changed/ improved. Royal Scot was stationed at Crewe, where Northampsmith resident Jinty sometimes performs as shed and station pilot . Sadly, she has to put up with LMS Stainer Jubilee class 4-6-0 'Victoria', who can't shut up. Royal Scot was withdrawn in November 1962 but was saved by Billy Butlin, who restored her to LMS Crimson Lake livery, inappropriate to her rebuilt condition. Royal Scot was later sent to Bressingham Railway Museum in 1971 and restored to working/ operational condition in 1972, again, in her false LMS livery. Butlin sold Royal Scot to Bressingham in 1989, but was long out of service. In 2009, Royal Scot was sold to the Royal Scot Locomotive and General Trust (RSL&GT), who would care for her and keep her in the best condition. In 2016, Royal Scot was again returned to steam, but modernised to mainline standards such as TPWS and AWS for mainline running. During these times, she was restored to an authentic BR Brunswick Green with Early Emblems.

### Livery

During the 1960s, Royal Scot was painted in BR Lined Brunswick Green with Late Crests.

As preserved, Royal Scot is painted in the same livery only with Early Emblems.

### Basis or real locomotive

Royal Scot is based off the real locomotive. It was one of 70 built by the North British Locomotive Company (NBL) of Glasgow, Scotland, and LMS Derby Works in 1927 and 1930 as a challenger for the Southern Railway's Lord Nelson class 4-6-0 and as a substitute following the LMS's failure to construct their own 4073 'Castle' class 4-6-0s via drawings from Swindon after the impressive performance of No. 5000 'Launceston Castle' in 1926. They were replaced on expresses following the introduction of the Stanier Princess Royals in 1933. Between 1943 and 1955, all 70 were given Type 2A taper boilers to replace their parallel boilers to increase their performance. Withdrawals of the class happened between 1962 and 1966 and two have been preserved.

No. 46100 'Royal Scot' was originally built as No. 6152 'Kings Dragoon Guardsman' in 1930 but swapped named with the original Royal Scot (built in 1927) in 1933 for a trip to the USA and Canada. Rumor has it the identity wasn't changed back following the engine's return. It was rebuilt by British Railways with a Type 2A boiler in 1950 and was withdrawn from service in 1962. Royal Scot is currently operational and mainline registered.

### Trivia

Royal Scot's BR Green model is renamed and renumbered Hornby model of No. 46165 'The Ranger'.

* This model was later recrested for its preserved condition.

Bradshaw is a smaller version of Royal Scot's class.

## Olivia

### Designer

George Jackson Churchward

**Olivia** is a GWR 4300 Mogul that visited the Moorland Steam Railway in 2009. She is the last survivor of her class that served in France during World War One, along with Will. She, like Will, displays her wartime livery in her preserved condition.

### Bio

Olivia was built by Swindon works in 1917 under a design for the Great Western Railway (GWR). She and ten members of her class were shipped to France during World War One (WWI) to help the existing locomotives over the English Channel, which were under the ownership of the Railway Operating Division (ROD). Olivia served in France until the end of the war came into proper GWR stock in 1918 and lived a quiet life away from the military spotlight.

She was extremely worried when World War Two broke out in 1939, and thought she was going back to war, but it didn't happen and helped in the evacuation of children out of London to the country. She end up going to war and fought in the 19th Platoon as a gunner. Olivia was withdrawn by British Railways in 1964 from Pontypool Road shed and sent to Woodham Bros at Barry Island for disposal. She was bought by the Great Western Society and taken to their home base at Didcot, which was a major locomotive maintenance facility built by the GWR. Olivia was restored from scrapyard condition to ROD khaki livery, since she served in France in WWI. Olivia liked the company of the fellow GWR locomotives that she worked with during her lifetime, including a locomotive she (somehow) has deep feelings for, No. 3822 aka Jonah, who appeared in a music video by Queen.

Olivia first steamed in 2008 and worked at the centre before her visit to the MSR in 2009, where she met an old Dean Goods who served in both World Wars. She worked during the railway's Wartime Weekend. She returned to Didcot in October that year and finished her boiler ticket in various different liveries over her lifetime, including Great Western Green.

### Livery

When first introduced in 'Stories from the Wars', Olivia is painted in the standard post-1935 GWR Green with "Shirtbutton" emblem.

During WWI, she was painted in ROD khaki livery with her number and 'ROD' written in white on her tender. When she arrived on the Moorland Steam Railway in 2009, she was painted in ROD khaki.

### Basis or real locomotive

    Olivia based on the real No. 5322. It was one of eleven members of the GWR 4300 class 2-6-0s shipped to France during WWI and is one of two survivors of the 4300 class. It is currently statically displayed at Didcot Railway Centre in BR Unlined Black with Early Emblems after a boiler failure in 2014, ending its operational days. It did wear ROD khaki livery when it first entered service in preservation.

### Trivia

Olivia is named after a girl Shane Sowter once had a crush on in primary school.

Olivia is depicted with a scar on the left side of her face. This was revealed in 'Stories from the Wars' when she told the others she was hit in scared by a stray Allied shell.

Olivia's model is modified Dapol 4300 class 2-6-0. This model has been renumbered and repainted, since no model (original model made by Bachmann) was released in ROD khaki, or of No. 5322.

Olivia's moto is, "I never back down!" This a reference to the music piece 'Never Back Down' by Two Steps From Hell, which is used one episode of the mini series 'Stories from the Wars'.

Oddly, IronLawl has the same engine in his remake of 'The Newton Abbot Saga' (B\*tch of the Yard) on YouTube. Only difference is that this character's name is Lizzie (real name: Elizabeth), not Olivia.

* The name 'Lizzie' was reused on No. 5319, which is a different engine.

Olivia was going to be a major character in another series proposed by Shane Sowter (The Great Western Series), but the series never took off and was cancelled.

Olivia is sometimes known by Western Region locomotives as "Livvy" or "Liv". This is because her namesake has these nicknames. This also follows on the fictional idea of all locomotives of that region loving shorter names e.g. "Duck" (Montague) and "Hawk" (Hawksworth).

In 'Stories from the Wars'. Olivia is seen as a young engine who is still confused during wartime, but understands the true meaning of war after her service with ROD in late-WWI.

Lizzie and Justin are both members of her class.

## City of Truro

### Designer

George Jackson Churchward

**City of Truro** is a famous GWR City class that is preserved by the National Railway Museum in York and visited the Moorland Steam Railway in 1990. He is famous for his 103.2MPH dash on the Ocean Mails train in 1904, only year after he was built.

### Bio

City of Truro was built at Swindon Works in 1903 and is one of 20 "pure" GWR 3700 or "City" class 4-4-0s (since many were rebuilds from an older design) and was one the top-link express locomotives owned the GWR. A year after his construction, he made history when he hauled the Ocean Mails train on the 9th of May, 1904, when he went down Wellington Bank in Somerset at 103.2MPH, making City of Truro the fastest locomotive in the world, but the exploit was not publicised since the ride from such speeds with be rough with passengers, more weirder was that his design was built for 70MPH.

With the introduction of newer and more powerful 4-6-0s by Churchward's successor, Charles Benjamin Collett, City of Truro's was being withdrawn and by 1931, he was one of the last of the class in service. The GWR had no plans to preserve their celebrity locomotives and despite his now-famous exploit, he was due to be scrapped like the rest of his class. Public outcry called for him to be preserved and the management had to give in to the public support to keep him alive. City of Truro was taken to York and he sat there from 1931 to 1957. In 1958, a year after being returned to operational condition for excursion trains by BR, City of Truro was told about a fallout between once "inseparable" locomotives No. 5972 'Olton Hall' and No. 6988 'Swithland Hall' which hurt the former's feelings. This resulted in City of Truro teaching her a lesson by steaming onto the turntable before she did, causing her to fall tender first into the turntable well.

When he heard about the recreation of one of his scrapped brothers, Killarney, prompting his first and so far only visit to the Moorland Steam Railway in 1993 and see if the rumour was false. It turned out that it was true and the preserved City cast out the replica of his older brother but was surprised that the replica already knew him before the original was scrapped. After the two were put on a double-headed special trip since they were the only GWR double-framers on the line and having the Truro on the front with bring in the public. The two made amends and continued where "their" brotherhood left off in 1928 until City of Truro left that year for the South Devon Railway.

### Livery

City of Truro is painted in the GWR Edwardian Middle Chrome Green with Indian Red frames and the "monogram" emblem.

### Basis or real locomotive

City of Truro is based on the real locomotive. It was was the 2,000th locomotive built at Swindon Works in 1903 as one of the 20 City class locomotives. It gained infamy when it supposedly went over 100MPH in the 9th of May, 1904 on the Ocean Mails between Plymouth docks and London-Paddington. The locomotive was withdrawn in 1931 but saved following a public campaign to preserve the locomotive that year. The locomotive has run in preservation from its first return to steam in 1957 by British Railways for excursion purposes. City of Truro is currently on static display at STEAM: Museum of the Great Western Railway at Swindon, made from the former railway works (where the locomotive was built).

### Trivia

City of Truro is the first over 100MPH locomotive to visit the MSR.

City of Truro's model is a limited edition model distributed by Locomotion Models and produced by Bachmann.

City of Truro is Killarney's younger brother (spiritually) but is older than Killarney's replica.

City of Truro's nickname is "The Truro".

In 1958, City of Truro taught BR-built Modified Hall No. 6988 'Swithland Hall' following a fallout the two had a few years before.

## Martello

### Designer

William Stroudley (when built)

**Martello** is a LB&SCR A1X class tank engine that visited the Moorland Steam Railway in 2014 and is the second member of the class to visit the railway. He served as a gunner in WWII for the 119th Platoon under Will.

### Bio

Martello was built at Brighton works in 1875 as an A1 class suburban tank. He, along with the rest of his class were known to everyone as "Terriers" because of the sound of their exhaust but many engines designed by Stroudley in the later Billinton era, was facing embarrassment because of his design's ejectors, which could only work from his valve gear while in motion. His back-and-forth movements in sidings made him a joke to the newer locomotives.

In 1912, Martello was rebuilt/reboilered by Douglas Marsh as an A1X and liked his more modern shape. By this time, he was nearly scrapped after ending up on the duplicate list 11 years earlier but was spared because of the LB&SCR's motive power crisis at the time. Martello lost his name on the side tanks and had a quite life working on the Hayling Island branch line, which he didn't that the line would be the key to his class' survival. In 1940, Martello, his brother Cowes, Camelot, South Foreland and an unnamed C14 tank engine, were sent to Sodor to cover the North Western Railway (NWR) during a motive power crisis, and allocated to services on the Ffarqhaur branch line, and had a reunion with the line's regular locomotive, an E2 0-6-0T built in 1915 for the NWR (Thomas).

After making a decision, Martello decided to recommend that RAF Dryaw use Spitfires and Hurricanes and decided to join the Steam Reserve Corps to finally put himself on the front line. He was assigned as a gunner for the 119th Platoon and saw his first battle in November that year against the Japanese, almost costing him his life. In Africa, he was nearly court marshalled after shooting a captured German locomotive but was let off by his commander after discovering that the German was trying to escape and Martello was originally shooting the track in front of it.

### Livery

Martello is painted in Southern Olive Green.

### Basis or real locomotive

Martello is based off the real locomotive. It was 17 reboilered from A1 "Terriers" with new superheated boilers and a redesigned front end. The Terriers were kept on small branchline like the Hayling Island line, which would be the cause of their long life. A few became celebraties such as Stepney and Fenchurch and further withdrawals of the class beginning in the 1940s after WWII but the last one wasn't retired until 1963, thanks to the Hayling Island line's weak wooden trestle bridge that linked the island with the UK mainland. In both forms, 10 have been preserved with one being in the United States and another converted back to A1 from A1X (No. 672 'Fenchurch') in 2001.

No. 2662 'Martello' was built in 1875 and was given a larger bunker by British Railways in the late-1950s. It was withdrawn in 1963 and is preserved by the Bressingham Steam Museum & Gardens.

### Trivia

Martello's model is an unmodified Hornby model.

Martello is incorrectly depicted in the series as preserved with having the standard bunker when the real locomotive was given and longer bunker similar to those on the Isle of Wight. This modification appears to have been carried out on the real locomotive in the late 1950s.

Worthington and Cowes are his older brothers while Brighton/Newport is his younger brother.

## Green Arrow

### Designer

Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley

**Green Arrow** is a odd pioneer Gresley locomotive that visited the Moorland Steam Railway in 2007. He is known for playing jokes on the others over his identity since he "cosplays" as one of his scrapped siblings.

### Bio

Green Arrow was built at Doncaster in 1936 for fast fish services across the LNER system. During WWII, Green Arrow handled fast military services as part of the British war effort and helped in securing victory to the Allies. Green Arrow was preserved by the British Government following his withdrawal from service by British Railways (BR) in 1962 as part of the National Collection.

In 2007, Green Arrow visited the Moorland Steam Railway as a celebrity guest at the railway's Spring gala that year, but cosplaying as one of his scrapped brothers, 'The Durham Light Infantry'. This was to try and trick Capulet, the railway's only resident Gresley locomotive, into thinking that two of the infamous "Engines that Won the War" have been preserved and to see his old friend which he last saw in 1961. This was going well until the second night of the gala when Raven noticed the mounts for Green Arrow's real nameplates on his smokebox, blowing his cover.

Green Arrow soon revealed his habit of cosplaying as his scrapped brothers and sisters as a way to make sure they aren't forgotten by railway enthusiasts who adore Gresley's great machines. By the end of his stay, the false nameplates were removed and his real ones were remounted onto his smokebox. Just before leaving, Green Arrow apologised for his cosplaying trick on Capulet, who forgave him and promised to he see him at the National Railway Museum's (NRM) Locomotion outpost at Shildon once his boiler ticket expired next year.

Green Arrow suffered a failed steam pipe during his visit to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) a year later and was withdrawn from traffic due to his monobloc cylinders being considered "unique" and couldn't be repaired and returned to operational service. It was after this Capulet was too withdrawn due to a worn crosshead and resulting a loan to the NRM for two years at Shildon, just to keep his promise to a fellow Gresley sole survivor.

### Livery

Green Arrow is painted in BR Lined Brunswick Green with Late Crests.

### Basis or real locomotive

Green Arrow is based off the real locomotive. It was one of 184 LNER V2s built at Doncaster and Darlington Works from 1936 to 1944 for fast freight service and as the main motive power of a fast fish service named the 'Green Arrow'. The class gained its infamy during WWII by both operating munition and troop trains across the country quickly and sharing their designation as one of German vengeance weapons, the V2 rocket, leading to them being nicknamed "the Engines that Won the War" by enthusiasts. Eight of the class were given names but seven were named in LNER days. Withdrawals began in 1962 and the last retired in 1966. The first one built has been preserved.

No. 4771 'Green Arrow' was built at Doncaster in 1936 as the first V2 built, becoming the first member of the class both named and built. It was withdrawn in 1962 and is preserved as part of the National Collection. It is currently on static display at Locomotion, Shildon, following a steam pipe failure on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) in 2008.

### Trivia

During his only appearance, Green Arrow is disguised/ "cosplaying" as 'The Durham Light Infantry'. This V2 was built in 1943 at Darlington Works and wasn't named until 1958. It was withdrawn and scrapped in 1964 off territory at Swindon Works.

Green Arrow's model is a renamed and renumbered Bachmann model.

Green Arrow, unlike the rest of the UK's locomotives, likes the smell of fish. This refers the V2s begin used primarily on fish trains throughout their service lives.

Green Arrow's tendency to cosplay is based upon fans of certain shows during conventions. Unfortunately, this doesn't end well as his straight nameplate mounts on his smokebox given him away, being the only member of the class with that feature.

Green Arrow's theme is a piece of music used by Simon A. C. Martin as the end credit score for 'The British Railway Series', which Shane Sowter enjoyed when he was younger.

* Strangely, a Gresley V2 appeared in 'The British Railway Series', No. 60903 and named Herbert.

## Big Jim

**Big Jim** is a former USATC S160 that visited the Moorland Steam Railway in 2008.

## Earl of Mount Edgcombe

### Designer

Charles Benjamin Collett

**Earl of Mount Edgcombe** (formerly **Barbury Castle**) is a GWR Castle class that visited the Moorland Steam Railway in 2014. He is one of the heaviest visiting locomotives that has operated on the route and is stationed at Tyseley.

### Bio

Earl of Mount Edgcombe was built at Swindon Works in 1936 and was originally named Barbury Castle, as per the class' naming tradition of them being named after English Castles mostly found on GWR territory. After being built only the year before, Barbury Castle was renamed to Earl of Mount Edgcombe, after a joke was pulled on GWR chairmen with the naming of No. 3200, a newly built Earl/ "Dukedog" 4-4-0 from that year. Earl of Mount Edgcombe was happy with his new name and his old name was reused on No. 5095, built three years after he was.

In 1958, Earl of Mount Edgcombe became one of 65 Castles to get the new double chimney being fitted to the class at that time but only four years later, was withdrawn and sent to Woodham Bros Scrapyard in Barry, South Wales, for disposal. Happily, he was preserved and taken to Tyseley, outside Birmingham, but was intended as a spare boiler for his younger brother, No. 7029 'Clun Castle'. Earl and Clun soon realised they were the last Castles left fitted with the double chimney and in the 1990s, he was being restored to 1958 condition, coupled with a Hawksworth tender instead of the Collett tender Clun had since he was preserved.

Earl of Mount Edgcombe was returned to the line in 2008 and began hauling railtours across most of his former territory, the Great Western mainlines, and over the infamous Settle to Carlisle railway north of his home metals. In 2014, Earl of Mount Edgcombe hauled the anniversary train of the Z48 'The Great Western' and since his brother Clun Castle was not operational and hauled the original train with a record time, Earl decided to beat his brother's record to prove how better he is after having a heavy rebuilt that year. He managed to beat it by just two minutes to spare.

That same year, Earl of Mount Edgcombe visited the Moorland Steam Railway to conduct some tests if something went wrong on his dash a few weeks ago and was questioned about the railway's operations since he was told that the MSR still used steam traction on goods trains.

### Livery

Earl of Mount Edgcombe is painted in BR Lined Brunswick Green with Early Emblems. He also has modern electrification warning flashes painted onto his boiler, firebox and tender.

### Basis or real locomotive

Earl of Mount Edgcombe is based off the real locomotive. It was one of 171 GWR 4073 'Castle' class 4-6-0s built by the GWR and BR between 1923 and 1950 to increase the amount of passengers on an express, decrease journey times and increase the power of the already aging 4000 'Star' class 4-6-0s from 1907. This resulted in a larger boilered version of the Star class and became known as the 'Castle' class and taking the next numbers of the Star class number series (4073-onwards). Two Castles, No. 4079 'Pendennis Castle' and 5000 'Launceston Castle', were sent to the LNER in 1925 and the LMS in 1926 respectively to show the power of the design. The class was withdrawn between 1959 and 1965 with eight preserved.

No. 5043 'Earl of Mount Edgcombe' was built in 1936 under the name 'Barbury Castle' but was renamed that same year following an incident with the 3200 'Earl' class. It was fitted with a double chimney in 1955 and was withdrawn from service in 1962. It is currently awaiting an overhaul at Tyseley Locomotive Works.

### Trivia

Earl of Mount Edgcombe is the only Castle in the series featured with a double chimney and a Hawkworth tender.

Earl of Mount Edgcombe's model is a second-hand Hornby from the Tyseley Connection.

## Adams

### Designer

William Adams

**Adams** is a unique visitor to the Moorland Steam Railway, visiting from the Bluebell Railway in 1990. He is the last survivor of his class and one of the first locomotives of the Bluebell Railway.

### Bio

Adams (formerly known simply as "No. 488") was built by Neilson & Co. in Glasgow, Scotland, to a design of William Adams on the far south of England. He was assigned to suburban trains around London with the rest of his class but was placed in storage after electrification of the London suburban system around that time. He was operated by the Ministry of Munitions during WWI following his first withdrawal in 1917 and would later be bought by Colonel Stephens.

Stephens bought him for the East Kent Light Railway (EKR) and numbered him '5' under that company. During his time on the EKR, he gained the name 'Adams', after the person that designed him. Adams was later sold again but to the Southern Railway (SR) for work on the Lyme Regis branchline in Devon. He was even surprised to see that two other members of his class had made it this far, but all he had left was two sisters. In 1961, he was bought by the Bluebell Railway Trust since he was the only member of his class in mostly original condition following his second withdrawal from service.

### Basis or real locomotive

Adams is based off the real locomotive. It was one of 71 LSWR 415 class 4-4-2T "Adams Radial" tanks built by Beyer, Peacock & Co. of Manchester, Robert Stephenson & Co. of Newcastle and Dubs & Co. plus Neilson & Co. of Glasgow, Scotland, from 1882 to 1885. They were built for suburban work around London but were replaced quickly by T1 class 0-4-4Ts introduced in 1888 and later by more powerful Drummond M7s. Withdrawals began for the class in 1916 but because of the Lyme Regis branch, the last three weren't withdrawn until 1961. One has been preserved.

No. 488 was built at Neilson & Co. in 1885 and was first withdrawn in 1917, being sold to the Ministry of Munitions until sold to the EKR in 1923 becoming their No. 5. No. 5 was sold to the SR in 1946 becoming No. 3488 and later 30583 under BR. It was withdrawn for a second time in 1961 after serving on the Lyme Regis branch and is now preserved on the Bluebell Railway in Sussex.

### Trivia

Adams' model is mostly unmodified Oxford Rail model.

Adams has a different funnel in preserved condition to the real locomotive.

Adams like mentioning how he's a music video star. This is a reference to the real locomotive appearing in the music video for Sheena Easton's song '9 to 5 (Morning Train)' in 1981.

Adams is named after his designer, William Adams. This name is revealed in the Railway Series book 'Stepney the Bluebell Railway' and given to him by the Bluebell Railway's engines without the manager knowing.

## Hartland

### Designer

Oliver Vaughn Snell Bulleid

**Hartland** is a express locomotive visiting from the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) in 1998. He came as a secret guest to the railway and is around the same age as Kate.

### Bio

Hartland was built in 1950 by Brighton Works to the original Bulleid West Country class express locomotives with the original "air-smoothed" condition. Sometime between 1957 and 1961, Hartland was rebuilt to improve his efficiency and reduce maintenance costs since his original condition wasn't financially viable to BR. In 1966, Hartland was withdrawn from service and sent to Woodham Bros for disposal, but was later rescued and restored by the Great Central Railway before moving to his current home of the NYMR.

### Personality

Hartland is a hard-working engine who always has time for a conversation.

### Livery

Hartland is painted in BR Lined Brunswick Green with Late Crests.

### Basis or real locomotive

Hartland is based off the real locomotive.

### Trivia

Hartland is a renamed and renumbered Hornby model.

## Princess Elizabeth

### Designer

Sir William Arthur Stanier FRS

**Princess Elizabeth**, or **"Lizzie"** as she is nicknamedis a Princess Royal class express locomotive built by the LMS as a prototype for her class and visited the Moorland Steam Railway in 2004. She still suffers from the death of her sister Princess Anne in 1952 and has since disconnected from the class that became based on hers.

### Bio

Princess Elizabeth, named after the heir to the Royal throne at the time (now Queen Elizabeth II), was built as the second prototype of her class by Crewe Works in 1933.

### Livery

Princess Elizabeth is painted in LMS Crimson Lake.

### Basis or real locomotive

Princess Elizabeth is based on the real locomotive.

### Trivia

Princess Elizabeth is the older sister of the unnamed Princess Royal seen departing Crewe in the movie.

Princess Elizabeth's model is an unmodified Hornby model.

## Olton Hall ("Hogwarts Castle")

### Designer

Charles Benjamin Collett

**Olton Hall**, sometimes known by his movie name **Hogwarts Castle**, is a famous mixed traffic that starred in the Harry Potter films. He visited the Moorland Steam Railway after the fifth film was released in 2007

### Bio

Olton Hall was built at Swindon Works in 1936 for mixed traffic duties on the GWR. During the 1950s, Olton Hall taught newly-built Modified Hall No. 6988 'Swithland Hall' until they had a fall out together, which hurt his feelings. He continued this work until he was withdrawn by BR in 1963 and was sold to Woodham Bros Scrapyard in Barry, South Wales. He was restored by the West Coast Railway Company (WCRC) in the 1990s and became famous for being selected to haul the Hogwarts Express in 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'. As a result, he was repainted from Brunswick Green to a fictional Hogwarts Railways Red.

After starting the first film in 2001, Olton Hall became a celebrity in the WCRC heritage steam fleet and across Great Western circles. He since became the basis for a joke because his movie name was 'Hogwarts Castle', which meant he was a 4073 'Castle' class instead of a 4900 'Hall' class that he really is. Following the release of the fifth film, 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix', in 2007, Olton Hall (still carrying his movie name), visited the Moorland Steam Railway for promotional purposes of the film and met Clyde. After the two double-headed a train from Northampsmith to Gladsville, Olton Hall told Clyde how a large celebrity life isn't always fame and fortune, reflecting on an incident earlier that year.

Olton Hall stayed on the railway for two months, which he left on a mainline tour.

### Personality

Olton Hall is a "down to earth" engine who doesn't let his fame get the better of him, but sees the negative of becoming famous.

### Livery

Olton Hall is painted in the fictional Hogwarts Railway Red livery with the school's crest. He also features overhead warning flashes.

### Basis or real locomotive

Olton Hall is based on the real locomotive. It was one of 258 built at Swindon Works between 1928 and 1943 with one rebuilt as the prototype (No. 2925/4900 'Saint Martin') in 1924. It was based on the Saint class from 1902 but with smaller driving wheels for mixed traffic duties instead of express passenger work. The design was modified as the 1930s progressed such as better superheating. They became the basis of the LMS Stanier 5MT "Black Five", LNER Thompson B1 and BR Standard 5 4-6-0s by having the same power rating and performance. Withdrawals of the class began of one in 1941 when No. 4911 'Bowden Hall' was destroyed by a German bomb with official withdrawals beginning in 1959. The last one was withdrawn in 1965 and eleven preserved, despite one being rebuilt to a Saint in 2019.

No. 5972 'Olton Hall' was built in 1936 and withdrawn from service in 1963. It became famous for being the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films under the fictional name 'Hogwarts Castle' and is currently on static display at Warnes Bros. Sudio Tour, London.

### Trivia

Olton Hall is shown carrying the name he wears in the movies instead of his real name.

Olton Hall's attitude towards his celebrity status from the Harry Potter films is based upon Flying Scotsman's attitude towards his fame in Terrier55Stepney's video 'Fame and Fortune' on YouTube.

Olton Hall is nicknamed "the Hall that thinks he's a Castle" as a preservation era joke by enthusiasts and preserved locomotives. This is down to his movie name since the Castle class is bigger than the Hall class.

Olton Hall's model is slightly modified Hornby model.

Olton Hall was the locomotive that taught Swithland Hall everything she knew. It's unknown if the two forgave each other before their withdrawals from service in the 1960s.

Olton Hall's fictional Hogwarts Railways crest resembles the British Railways Late Crest.

Bowden Hall is his older brother.

## Thane of Fife

### Designer

Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley (originally)Edward Thompson (rebuilt)

**Thane of Fife**, sometimes referred to as **"Macduff"**, is a Thompson Pacific that visited the Moorland Steam Railway in 2019 with Chamossaire and Dinmore Manor. He is known for being rather rough around anyone who he considers below him.

### Bio

Thane of Fife was originally built in 1936 as a Gresley P2 2-8-2 for express-passenger duties in Scotland. In 1943, he was rebuilt by Edward Thompson into a 4-6-2 "Pacific", known as "A2/2", due to wartime restrictions placed on any construction of Thompson's designs. In 1959, Thane of Fife was withdrawn from service and sent to Doncaster to be scrapped, but was purchased privately for preservation. In 1963, Thane of Fife, nicknamed by his owner as "Macduff", assisted in the purchase in No. 60514 'Chamossaire' from the same yard Thane of Fife was sent to four years prior.

### Livery

Thane of Fife is painted in BR Lined Brunswick Green with Late Crests.

### Basis or real locomotive

Thane of Fife is based off the real locomotive.

### Trivia

Thane of Fife's model is a standard Hornby model.

Thane of Fife is named after a fictional character from the Shakespeare Scottish play 'Macbeth' known as "Macduff", titled the 'Thane of Fife'.

* This explains why he is nicknamed "Macduff".

Thane of Fife is owned by the same person as Chamossaire.
