Arthur is a big maroon tank engine from The Island of Sodor. He mainly works on the Northern Coastline Railway with fish deliveries but will help out with the fish deliveries on the Southern Coastline Railway a few times a week.
Personality[]
Arthur is a big tank engine who has never been naughty in his life because he is quite a cautious engine, because of this he has gained a "spotless record" and so he is responsible for some pretty important roles on Transportainia's railway. He mainly shunts trucks and pulls goods trains. Arthur can be a bit naïve however and after a jealous Thomas tricked Arthur into setting his standards too high with the trucks, his record did not stay as spotless as he had hoped. Arthur aims to please in his work and he enjoys the sea air and the smell of the fish.
Technical Details[]
Basis[]
Arthur is based on an LMS Ivatt Class 2MT tank engine developed for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (hence the initials on his tanks). Unlike his basis, Arthur lacks a sand dome.
Livery[]
Arthur is painted in the LMS maroon livery with gold boiler bands and yellow lining. The letters "LMS" are written on his side tanks in yellow, shadowed by red. He also has the number "81023" painted in the same yellow and red on the sides of his coal bunker. His wheels are also painted red and his cabsteps are painted black while the steps at his front buffer beam are red and he has white lamp irons.
