Proteus

    Proteus

Proteus is a narrow gauge engine with a magic lamp hung upon his funnel. Legend has it that should someone finds the lamp, their wishes will be granted. Skarloey told this story to the others, which made Peter Sam search the line looking for the magic lamp.

The clues to finding his magic lamp are feeling a rush of wind when the lamp is near, hearing a strange creaking sound, and see a flickering light that shines on and off.

Livery
Proteus is painted bright yellow with dark yellow and red lining.

Appearances
Proteus only appeared in the ninth season episode "The Magic Lamp". He appears to have the same body as Sir Handel, which, many believe, is what led to his return in the tenth season.

Basis
Proteus is based on the Talyllyn Railway's "Sir Haydn".
