These are the characters of the Railway Series that are engines of the real world, some famous, some not.
These are the engines that Thomas met when he was invited to the National Railway Museum in 1991
Green Arrow is a showpiece at the National Railway Museum. He is a preserved LNER V2 Class, for the
reason is because he is the main attraction. Green Arrow is cousins with the Flying Scotsman, but about half the size with
a 6-wheel tender. Thomas met Green Arrow after his unusual arrival on a lorry after an accident. The two got on great, and
Thomas chatted with the engine during his whole visit.
Mallard is a dignified LNER Pacific A3 Class. He is famous for being one of the fastest engine in the
world, going 125 m/ph. He is often grouchy and sometimes stubborn. He used to be a dirty green without wheel covers,
but was repainted when bought. He spends most of his time in the sheds on exhibitation, but longs for a good long run again.
The Duchess Of Hamilton has seen better days. Before being preserved, she ran many miles often pulling
special trains. Nowadays, she sometimes pulls railtours, but not as often as she would like. She is a LMS Duchess Cordination
Class 4-6-2.
Iron Duke is the National Railway Museum's broad gauge engine, once working on the Great Western Railway.
Thomas wondered if Duck knew about broad gauge, and thought it would be something to tell when he returned. Iron Duke's line
ran from Swindon Works to London and Gloucester, and was pleased to become a popular preserved piece in the National
Railway Museum's collection.
These are five of the engines that Stepney works with on the Bluebell Railway.
Bluebell and Primose are twin engines, the same class as Stepney. Both have been preserved and work
on the Bluebell Railway, and are very cheerful workers. They are most happy to pull passengers. Bluebell is No.323, and Primose
is No.27.
This little guy is 'Captain' Baxter. He is 0-4-0 Dorking Greystone Lime Company type, built customly
by Fletcher Jennings. In 1980, Baxter returned to work after a major compressive overhaul, and was certified to last 10 years
longer, but is now preserved and a happy chap once more. Baxter is No.3.
Adam is a LSWR Radial Tank Engine built for World War I, transporting goods. After the war, he needed
serious boiler work done to return to the railway. But for every happy ending, he was bought by the Bluebell Railway and they
preserved him. Adam is No.488.
Cromford is a LNWR 0-6-0 Goods Tank Engine, he main work was pulling passengers trains for short
distances up and down Berbyshire in Devon. He was for a short time on loan to Barrow Hill Yards, and returned
to the Bluebell Railway afterward. Cromford is No.2650.
These are another lot of engines from various railways that briefly made appearances in The Railway
Series.
Jinty and Pug are shunters from the Other Railway, who came to Sodor for a short time when the Fat
Controller's Engines were to go to London. Jinty is a Class 0-6-0 3F tank engine, and often cheeky. Pug is a basic Class 0-4-0
Pug, whilst where he got his name. Percy knew these two before coming to Sodor, and the three shared good memories.
These beautiful engines are Tallylyn and Dogloch. They work at the Tallylyn Railway
in Towyn, Wales, and are some of the star attractions. Tallylyn is a 0-4-2 Saddle Tank Skarloey's twin brother, and Dogloch
is a 0-4-0 Well Tank and Rheneas' twin brother. All four were built in 1865 and looked exactly like each at the time, neither
with a cab and four wheels, though they have changed over time. Skarloey has caught up with Tallylyn a few times, though it
is unknown if Rheneas has caught up with Dogloch.
King James I was an engine that worked on the Great Western Railway in Paddington.
He was mentioned in Gordon Goes Foreign. Very little is known about him, all can be said is that he was good
friends with Duck.
Green Arrow is a showpiece at the National Railway Museum. He is a preserved LNER V2 Class, for the
reason is because he is the main attraction. Green Arrow is cousins with the Flying Scotsman, but about half the size with
a 6-wheel tender. Thomas met Green Arrow after his unusual arrival on a lorry after an accident. The two got on great, and
