Bio
The other engines except Thomas teased Harvey at first, but when he was able to rescue Percy after an accident they realized that his difference was what made him special. Since then, he has proved very useful, using his crane arm for maintenance, building and clearing up. He mainly works at Brendam and the yard, but his favourite place to be is at the Water Works.

Persona
Harvey is a kind, friendly and hard-working crane engine. He enjoy helping out when his friends are in distress.

Livery
With perhaps the most distinctive appearance of any engine, Harvey is painted burgundy with yellow line-work and brown square buffers. His name and the number "27" is written on both his sides in yellow, however the "27" is painted on his crane.

Basis
Harvey is based on an industrial crane engine - Dubs Crane Engine No. 4101.
