The Scrapyards

The scrap yards have no definite location but their presence has scared many an engine. 'Arry and Bert work there, shunting and hauling trucks filled with scrap to and from the Smelters Shed and Yard. At the scrap yards there is a huge Grabber and smelter in the Shed. There are also old rusted steam locomotives lined up everywhere. They are mostly recycled stunt-double locomotives that were used for crash scenes. Some examples of this happen to be that of City Of Truro, Gordon, Thomas (spare models) and steam engines from TUGS. It is here where Old Slow Coach was saved from scrap, Stepney was almost scrapped, and Emily spooked 'Arry and Bert after they played tricks on Emily and Thomas. This scrap yard first appeared in Season 5, and has continued to appear in the recent seasons.

There are also Scrapyards located on Edward's Branch Line (where Trevor was saved from scrap), and on the Other Railway where Douglas says only the Diesels work. (This is where Oliver, Stepney and Toad were saved from scrap). These scrapyards were last seen in Seasons 3 and 4.
