Rosie

"It's meeeeeee!"

- Rosie, "Thomas and the Birthday Mail", tenth season

    Rosie the Small Tank Engine

Rosie is a lavender tank engine who idolises Thomas. She was built in 1943 and worked in the United States before coming to Sodor in 2006.

Bio
Rosie annoyed Thomas whilst he was trying to deliver a special birthday post train to Alice at Hill Farm. After Thomas had an accident and she helped him, he started to respect her.

Rosie now mainly works on Thomas' branch line.

Basis
Rosie is based on a USA 0-6-0 "Dock Tank". This type, interestingly enough, in real life, replaced the E2, which was Thomas' make.

Livery
Rosie is painted lavender with gray tanks, gold boiler bands and red lining and wheels.

Appearances
Rosie appeared in the tenth and eleventh seasons.
