Stephen

**Stephen** is one of the first steam engines ever built. He currently works at Ulfstead Castle, where he takes visitors on tours around the castle grounds and across Sodor.

## History

Stephen was built in 1829 by Robert Stephenson and competed in a series of races called the Rainhill Trials against four other engines, which he ended up winning at. He used to work in mines and at harbours, but as newer and faster engines were being built, Stephen was abandoned until he was uncovered by Sir Robert Norramby and brought back to Sodor, where he was overhauled at the Sodor Steamworks.

Norramby had Stephen restored so that he could take tourists around the castle grounds; however, Stephen was not aware of this and after being told by Thomas that the Earl had a surprise job for him, became too excited to wait and travelled around Sodor, looking for jobs that he could do. However, Stephen proved to be too weak and slow for most of the jobs and after visiting an abandoned mine, became trapped after having to avoid a runaway train from running into him. While he was in the mine, Stephen managed to uncover King Godred's long lost crown and after being rescued, he was given a new funnel and was present at the grand opening of Ulfstead Castle.

## Role in Plot

### The Great Filler Race

Stephen participates in the race. He spends most of it in last place, but eventually makes his way to The Dieselworks and collects a truck. He arrives at Knapford at 2:20 in the morning, with no welcome party.

## Personality

Stephen is a jolly old engine with a positive attitude and a good sense of humour. He is a good-hearted and quick-witted engine and will not take any nonsense from engines like Spencer or Diesel. Some of the smaller engines look up to him for advice and he is always willing to get the job done.

## Debut and Portrayal

### Voice Actor

TBA

**Molly** is a powerful bright yellow tender engine.

## History

When Molly first came to the railway, Emily laughed at her for having to haul "empties" to the Coaling Plant. Molly's feelings were hurt, so Thomas came up with an idea. He had workmen decorate Molly's trucks with lanterns and cover them with tarpaulins, to make them look special to the other engines. The wind, however, blew off a tarpaulin in front of Gordon, Percy and Emily. Molly ran away, embarrassed, until she learned that engines at the depot needed her empty trucks to carry coal. When Molly arrived at the depot, Edward, Henry and James were grateful to see her; but Gordon was annoyed when he had to wait at a signal for Molly's and Thomas' trains to pass.

## Role in plot

### The Great Filler Race

Molly participates in the race. She manages to retrieve a truck, but is disqualified when she derails after colliding with Thirteen.

Sometimes taking "empties" makes her feel less important and sad, but in the end, she will usually see that it is a vital part of operations and an important task after all. Molly has a peacekeeper attitude, tends to be rather sensible, and is looked upon as a "big sister" by some of the other engines. However, because of her sensitivity, she can be easily embarrassed or upset by conflict, and will steam away to avoid it, but will usually have the courage to do what she thinks is right. Molly likes to be as good as everyone else and wants the other engines to think the best of her.

At the Great Railway Show, Vinnie participated in the Strongest Engine competition. On his way to the track where his competition was to take place, Philip blocked his way. Vinnie insulted Philip and told him to watch where he was going. Later, Philip got in Vinnie's way again. Vinnie, annoyed at Philip, chased him briefly before being covered in coal from a hopper that Carlos was using. Infuriated, Vinnie chased Philip through the yard, eventually ending up in the middle of the Shunting Challenge. Vinnie derailed two of Gina's flatbeds, which were blocking his way, before cornering Philip near a turntable and trying to force the little shunter into the turntable well. Thomas and Ashima then managed to couple up to the big tender engine and pull him away, allowing Philip to escape. Vinnie resisted, which caused Thomas' coupling to snap. This launched Vinnie into a set of points that were set against him, derailing him and sending him crashing into an electricity pylon, which then fell on top of him. Vinnie was left trapped under the pylon, screaming for help. He remained there for the rest of the day and was rescued that evening, after which he returned home to America.

Because of his vile behaviour, hardly any of the engines get along with him.

Stanley's popularity caused Thomas to feel jealous and later neglected. Thomas felt that Stanley was newer, bigger, and stronger than he - and would take over his place on the railway. Thomas then planned to make Stanley look weak - the trick backfired and caused Thomas' friends to consider him mean and incompetent.

When Thomas later went missing, Stanley was the first to realise Thomas' feelings. He searched for Thomas until he finally managed to find him in a ditch and rescue him.

"Like I'd ever do anything that stupid- Oh god!"

- Thomas in The Great Filler Race

**Thomas** is a tank engine who runs his own branch line on the North Western Railway.

## History

## Role in Plot

### Magic Railroad Arc

Thomas spoke negatively of Ryan at Knapford Station before the latter arrived to take his train. Thomas was also accidentally shoved out of the station by Philip.

### The Great Filler Race

Thomas participated in The Great Race. He ended up falling off a cliff, which lead to his disqualification. He was eventually taken away on a lorry. He is later seen outside Toby's Disco Shed with the other losers.

## Personality

Thomas is a cheeky, fussy engine. He often gets into scrapes, usually by being over eager to do things best left to bigger and more sensible engines. But clouds never last long in Thomas' life and he is soon bustling about again, playing his part in the yard and on his very own branch line, of which he is extremely proud.

He loves teasing the others, especially the bigger engines, such as Gordon and on occasion brags about his superiority, but is always brought down to earth in due course by anyone willing to correct him, especially the Fat Controller and his two coaches, Annie and Clarabel. If Thomas has one major character flaw, it is that he is forgetful and rather impatient. However, he is also optimistic, idealistic and altruistic with a heart of gold.

Despite all this, he does have his pride, and will sometimes take wrong advice at the wrong time.

	+ The 2004 Learning Curve model. (Episode 1, original version only)
	+ The 2015 Mattel model. (Episode 5-Present)
	+ A modified 2004 Learning Curve model with interchangeable faces and a headlamp. (Future appearances)

## History

Long ago, The Magic Railroad was home to numerous engines and Minis living in peace and harmony. Lady was the gaurdian of the railway and was good friends with Defect. One day, the diesel gaurds turned on everyone and took over, under the command of King Lowercase. People and their homes were destroyed, Lady went missing, and Defect was captured.

A few years later, Ryan and Gordon, two engines from another world entered the railroad through the Magic Buffers, after getting imprisoned, they meet a defect, who aids them in their journey to escape the railroad and get back home.

Defect is eventually overpowered in a fight and executed by King Lowercase, buying time for Ryan, Gordon and their new companion, Ninja Buddy, to escape. They finally reach the exit, but get knocked back by Lowercase, Ryan manages to knock him out and the group escape.

Lowercase survives the explosion and continues to rule the railroad through dictatorship.

## Transportation

Aside from moving around normally, the engines can travel around the Magic Railroad via the Magic Buffers. The Magic buffers, like normal buffers, are located at the end of a line to prevent engines from derailing. The Magic buffers however are more than that. These buffers act as gateways, letting engines go from one location in the Magic Railroad to another. They are found in various spots on the railroad and some even lead in and out of it.

There is also an orange cart that is used by Minis to travel to various locations.
