Stanley is a silver shunting tank engine from The Island of Sodor.

Personality[]

Stanley is the "boy-next-door" of the rails. He's a cool, courteous and cheery chap who tends to be incredibly compassionate and empathic: there is nothing he would not do for another engine. And if he could not do it, he would find someone who could. He works as a shunting engine at Fausten with Dunbar and stands out among the yards with his shiny silver tanks and bright red wheels which everyone thinks is very stylish. This is what makes him a very welcome addition to the Crotoonia fleet.

Technical Details[]

Basis[]

Stanley is based on the Stewart & Lloyds 16" 0-6-0STs, albeit with the sandboxes above the running board removed. Introduced in 1921, specifically for Stewart & Lloyds, they were based on a similar, smaller Manning Wardle design - that being the "T" class. These engines were originally built by Manning Wardle, however were later produced for Stewart & Lloyds by Kitson & Co., as Manning Wardle had by then ceased trading. The last 5 were constructed by Robert Stephenson Hawthorn, when Kitson & Co. stopped building locomotives in 1937. Several of these locomotives have been preserved, including No. 42 "Rhondda", No. 44 "Conway", No. 45 "Colwyn" and No. 47 "Carnavon". Many official pieces of Thomas Media have incorrectly stated that Stanley is a hybrid of a Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0ST engine and Kitson's No. 5459 "Austin I".
