Reginald

"*No one's talking to you, Isle of Man."*
"For the last time you lout, my name is Reginald.*"*

— Sheffield and Reginald, Secrets

**Reginald** is an express engine for the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway on Sodor.

## Biography

Reginald was built in 1924 at Crewe for working on express trains in London. His popularity made his brother, Randolph, jealous. He was very busy that he didn't have time for relationships. Randolph had unknowingly started a rumour about Reginald that he preferred the presence of men over women, which destroyed his career and had to be transferred to Sodor where he became the express engine for the LMS on Sodor and he and Gordon became rivals.

In 1962, Randolph visited Sodor to apologise to his brother, who was still furious with him. The next morning, Randolph had come down with a severe case of metal fatigue and Reginald decided to go with an overhaul to save his brother. During the overhaul, Randolph died and Reginald felt overwhelmed with guilt. His colleagues helped him through his guilt, especially Samantha, whom agreed with him for a marriage.

## Persona

Reginald can be quite rude to the Nor-easters, especially Gordon, who he had a constant rivalry with. Despite that, he has a good friendship to the Midis and did befriend the Nor-easters later on. Unlike Gordon, he actually always shunts his coaches since he first began to work for the LMS on Sodor and always understood the reason of doing so.

## Livery

He is painted LMS green livery with red linings similar to his counterpart from the Railway Series.

## Basis

According to WildNorWester, Reginald is based on Isle of Man, a real LMS Patriot class with the number 45511. Victor Tanzig renamed him to Reginald.

## Trivia

* He was renamed to Reginald by Victor.
* Though he arrived on Sodor in 1924, his class was not built until 1930. He's not a prototype either, as Isle of Man, the actual engine Reginald is based on, was built in 1932.
* Reginald is a bit of a strange enigma if one was to look closely, as first off he appears in 1924, eight years before his building in 1932. Isle of Man did carry the number 45511. However, this was after nationalization, and second of all is the fact he is painted BR Brunswick, but we can put all this down to the fact that his model was designed for Gordon Goes Foreign adaptations, if Reginald was to be correctly portrayed he would appear in 1932 in LMS Crimson with the number 5972.
