Arlesburgh Harbour

**Arlesburgh Harbour** is a large harbour in Arlesburgh, which is served by both the North Western and Arlesdale Railways, the former connecting to the harbour via the Little Western. The harbour was first opened in 1967, when the North Western Railway built the Little Western to serve the harbour.

Duck and Percy both worked at the harbour regularly, shunting trains for the other engines. A regatta was held here.

Later, the line running through the harbour was extended to run up to Harwick. After Thomas discovered a pirate ship in a cavern, the ship was restored and taken to Arlesburgh Harbour, where it would be put on display to the public. Thomas also managed to stop Sailor John from escaping with the treasure here, and when the Harwick Branch Line was officially opened, the engines went through the harbour while the treasure was recovered from the bottom of the sea.

## Appearances

Arlesburgh Harbour was first introduced in the third season as a large and expansive harbour, which was also used to represent Brendam Docks in certain episodes. The harbour had several large cranes, a small, one track station, and an engine shed.

In Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure, another area of Arlesburgh Harbour, located much closer to the town, was rendered in full CGI. This area of the harbour was significantly smaller compared to the harbour in the third season, and was simply a dock with a lighthouse and a few lines running over it. Captain Calles' old ship is displayed here.
Algy

**Algy** is a bus who works near the Little Western.

## Bio

In his first appearance, Algy took over Bertie's naturalist excursion when Bertie fell ill. After a few miles, Algy broke down while waiting at some traffic lights. The naturalists laughed and offered to push Algy, and shortly afterwards his engine started up again. Eventually they reached the hills, while the naturalists go off looking for birds and plants, Algy's driver tried to mend him.

However, when the naturalists came back an hour later, Algy still wasn't fixed. The naturalists decided to have their picnic to pass the time. But when they finished, Algy was still being mended. Algy's driver headed off to a telephone box, but just as he arrives, Bertie comes to the rescue, and continues the naturalists' trip.

In his second appearance, Duck met up with Algy at the middle station on the Little Western. Algy was asked to look after Duck's passengers, when Duck's water gauge and tank began leaking. He delivered Duck's passengers home, while Oliver helped Duck back to the shed.

In his last appearance, Algy had to take over Bertie's climbing excursion when Bertie was developing engine trouble. But halfway through the journey, Algy had to wait at a traffic light and his driver couldn't restart his engine. So the climbers had to push him out of the way to avoid a traffic jam.

Finally, Algy was able to continue on his way. After they arrived at their destination and the climbers have their lunch, Algy's driver tried to start him again. But this time, all hope was lost and everyone was stranded. Luckily, Bertie was called and saves the day.

## Persona

When Algy first arrived, he teased Bertie, but made up and became friends with him after breaking down. Algy now helps Bertie take passengers around Sodor. They have been firm friends ever since.

Rheneas Tunnel

**Rheneas Tunnel,** also known as the Tunnel Section, is a sole tunnel in Skarloey Railway, connecting Glennock and Rheneas

## History

### The Railway Series

Rheneas Tunnel was built in 1865 and, along with Rheneas Viaduct, was the major engineering feature of the line. This three-mile section is the one most subject to the weather's vagaries and is very sinuous. The tunnel is short, but curved so that on entering, it is impossible to see right through and thus be warned of any obstruction. It is also unlined and subject to seepage. This sometimes loosens rock fragments; icicles also form here in frosty weather.

North of the tunnel the line runs along a ledge and is subject to "wash-outs" after heavy rain. Regular inspection is therefore necessary, and inevitably under the worst weather conditions. This has resulted in the section being generally known to SR gangers as "that dratted tunnel section". A "wash-out" occurred here in 1867, which resulted in Skarloey getting stuck in a landslide. Another notable incident involving the tunnel occurred in 1958 when a loose rock fragment halted Duncan. Incidents like these are typical of many others. Another wash-out occurred in 1961, destroying a section of the line. A week later, Peter Sam lost his funnel to an icicle that had formed in the tunnel.

Lakeside

Lakeside is a harbour station on the northern end of the Skarloey Railway. reached by a loop line. excluding stock footage, it only appeared in Series 4.

## History

### The Railway Series

In 1963, the Skarloey Railway began preliminary work to construct a loop around Skarloey Lake. The loop line was completed in time for the railway's Centenary Celebrations in June 1965. It deviates from the main line at Lakeside Junction, and runs round and above the lake on a ledge cut in the hillside among the trees. Lakeside is the sole station on the line, and serves a picnic area. The loop was mostly financed by the sale of the old Ward Fell slate quarry to the Ministry of Defence.

The loop line has proved its worth as a succesful tourist attraction. From Easter to Christmas all passenger trains between 10.30am and 4.00pm run round the lake through magnificient scenery; but for the rest of the year, when traffic is mainly local, the old main line direct to Skarloey station is used.

### Thomas & Friends

Lakeside is a sizeable community situated around the mouth of the lake, and has a harbour which houses a variety of fishing boats, and the paddle tug Lakesider III. The railway runs through the town in a loop, and a bascule bridge carries it across the lake. The station consists of two platforms and a separate ticket office. A variety of businesses are located here, such as a Neptune Refreshments shop owned by the Refreshment Lady.

The fat controller introduced each other and told Madison that she needed to learn the express line. Gordon was impressed and believed that he might need help after all. But the only coaches Madison could find was Gordon's express coaches but her driver thought they were fine. Madison was very happy.
Gordon was puffing towards Brendan docks, he had to stop at a signal to let Madison go passed, he didn't mind but he was cross when he saw Madison with his coaches and was rude to her. Thomas and Percy were rude as well. Gordon was told to use Annie and clarabel and Thomas was told to go to the docks to get new coaches by the fat controller. Oliver was shunting trucks in the yard until Madison arrived. Oliver told her they were Gordon's coaches and Madison went to find Gordon to apologise. As she was finding her way to Gordon, Thomas had just uncoupled from the new coaches and went along the crossing but broke down.
Soon there was a whistle. It was Gordon who had just finished with Annie and clarabel and was racing so fast but to busy thinking about Madison that he didn't know Thomas was broken down in front of him. Madison raced and shunted Thomas out of the way. Soon they met Madison and Gordon apologised to each other and Madison's coaches was proudly presented by sir topham hat.

His cab doors, windows, handrails and other details are painted red, while his sandboxes and dome are painted with green lining around them.

Series 10

The **tenth series** of Thomas & Friends was first broadcast in September 2006 in the US and October 2006 in the UK. There are twenty-eight episodes in this series and all were narrated by Michael Angelis in the UK and Michael Brandon in the US.

## Production

During production of this series, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James and Percy had fully brass replicas made. This was due to their original plastic models being twenty-two years old at this point and tight filming schedules meant there was very little room for emergency repairs.

The new models were made out of brass and equipped with CNC machined aluminium chassis powered by DC motors. From this point onwards the plastic models would only appear in scenes that would damage the brass models, with the exception of the episode, Big Strong Henry, where one of Henry's brass models was used for the crash instead of his plastic model. This may be due to the plastic model having a previously loose middle left drive wheel which is visible in promotional photographs and some scenes of the episode Henry and the Wishing Tree. The way the crash in that episode unfolded could have caused the old repair to fail.

In one particular episode, The Green Controller, James' original plastic model was repainted into the black and yellow bee livery, likely because the production team did not want to ruin the new brass model after it had just been built. However, James' original plastic tender was *not* repainted, but oddly enough, it was the new brass tender.

This series also marks the final appearances of Edward and James' plastic models, which were both retired completely after the episode, James the Second Best.

In the episode Thomas and Skarloey's Big Day Out, Skarloey's small scale model was used again for the first time since the fifth series (excluding stock footage appearances in the seventh series). It was used for the long shots alongside Thomas' gauge 1 model because the large scale Skarloey model would've been severely out of scale.

Bert

"*Well, go on. Aren't you going to impress us with your thoughts after all?*"
— Mike, Jock the New Engine

* **Builder**: Duffield Bank
* **Built**: 1894
* **Gauge**: 15 inch
* **Configuration**: 0-8-2, originally 0-8-0T
* **Arrived on Sodor**: 1967

**Bert** is the quietest of the Arlesdale Railway engines.

## Bio

Bert worked on an unnamed line in England until 1967, at which time it closed down and he, Rex and Mike were sent to Sodor to work the Arlesdale Railway. Some time after his arrival, Bert took offence when the Reverend W. Awdry and the Reverend Teddy Boston accidentally sprayed him with mud while passing him in their car, and in retaliation Bert drenched the Reverend Teddy Boston with water when he took a ride in Bert's cab. However, both parties made up and as a result, Bert was featured in the Reverend W. Awdry's next book, Small Railway Engines.

## Persona

Bert is the quietest of the Arlesdale Railway engines. He is the oldest out of the original three and appears to be very easy going and friendly. One thing Bert doesn’t like, however, is the idea that bigger engines (and some people) might look down on the little engines just because they’re small. Bert usually gets on with his jobs without complaining and doesn’t mind what kind of work he does as long as he’s treated with respect.

## Livery

Bert is painted NWR blue with red-and-yellow lining. He has a brass dome, blue wheels, red nameplates with yellow writing mounted each side of his boiler and "Arlesdale" written on his tender in yellow.

His own build date is currently unknown since there is no official evidence to state his actual build date.
* From Jock the New Engine onwards in the Railway Series, as well as in the TV series, Bert is depicted with wheels outside his frames, contrary to his basis and his previous appearances. His valve gear was also changed.
* DonaldDouglasandOliver11 stated that Bert is his favorite Arlesdale Railway engine.
Porter

"*What's will all the domes? You've got more humps than a camel!*"
— Away From the Sea

* **Built**: Sometime between 1866 and 1917
* **Configuration**: 0-6-0ST

**Porter** is a dockside tank engine who works alongside Salty at Brendam Docks.

## Bio

When Salty was experiencing engine trouble, Sir Topham Hatt brought Porter to Sodor to work at Brendam Docks while he arranged for Salty to be mended at the Sodor Dieselworks. When Porter arrived to help out, Salty was convinced that Porter had been sent to replace him. After some mishaps, Porter managed to stop Salty from having an accident, then using his sand domes to sand the rails after Salty accidentally spilt oil on them. Later, the Fat Controller told Salty that he was to work with Porter and that he was not going to be replaced.

Later, Porter helped arrange "The Flying Kipper" for James after he made Henry late the previous night. When Bill and Ben teased Harvey about "going fishing" and made fun of Porter's three domes, Porter helped Harvey see the positive side of being both a crane and an engine.

In the eighteenth season, Porter joined in singing with the others at Brendam Docks. He also gave Paxton some more diesel oil.

## Persona

Porter is a kind and helpful character, with a good sense of self-confidence and does not worry about what other engines say about him, such as calling him a ‘camel’ because he has so many humps. Porter is not above engaging in a bit of friendly dockside banter himself, but when another engine is feeling low he can be very supportive. Porter’s easy-going manner makes him very popular. He is a hard worker, although he can be a bit of a perfectionist at times. He is also very brave and can keep his cool in a crisis.

## Livery

Porter is painted viridian with yellow stripes and lining and a gold nameplate with black lettering. He has a gold star on each side of his lamp.

Flora

"*Now I have another best friend and she's a steam tram too!*"
— Thomas, Tram Trouble

* **Built**: 1904
* **Configuration**: 0-6-0

**Flora** is a steam tram who works for the Sodor Tramways in Great Waterton.

## Bio

Flora was new to the railway when Thomas first met her. Sir Topham Hatt told Thomas to introduce Flora to Toby, as she was to lead an engine parade at Great Waterton with him. Thomas was worried that Toby would be upset that he was not the only steam tram on Sodor any more, so Thomas tried to detour Flora until Toby left for Great Waterton. Flora ran out of coal near Toby's shed and Toby saw the bright yellow tram for the first time. To Thomas' surprise, Toby was delighted to see her. Thomas gave Flora his coal and she and Toby went to Great Waterton in time for the parade.

## Basis

Flora is based on a 1904 Moseley Road Tramway steam tram, rebuilt into standard gauge. Instead of buffers, she has three couplings upon her front and rear bufferbeam. She has an 0-6-0 wheel arrangement.

## Persona

Flora is a docile little steam tram working on the Island of Sodor. She mainly works the Great Waterton Tramway with her tram car, which is her pride and joy, that she uses to perform passenger duties. Although she is, at times, quiet or even timid, she often greets other engines with a sunny smile. She is always cheerful to work, but she can be concerned about speaking up right away if there is a problem. She is happy to work on Sodor and is warmly fond of Toby, Sodor's other steam tram. They even led the first annual Great Waterton parade together, not long after meeting each other.

## Livery

Flora is painted bright yellow with green and white lining, red cowcatchers and sideplates, and green boards on her roof reading "Sodor Tramways".

* Season 2 - Stanley to the Rescue (*cameo*) and Scottish Engines (*cameo*)
* Season 3 - Hector the Ballast Hopper (*cameo*) and Ghost Stories (*cameo*)
