Victor

"Do you have a job to do, Spencer, or are you just going to stand there... gossiping? You're taking up a lot of track!"

- Victor, "Hero of the Rails"

    Victor   Victor is a Cuban narrow gauge tank engine who was introduced in Hero of the Rails.
 * Builder: Baldwin Locomotive Works
 * Configuration: 0-4-0ST+T

Bio
Victor is the manager of the Sodor Steamworks. He is always busy finding parts, delivering, collecting, and supervising activities around the yard. He works closely with Kevin, whose clumsiness often drives Victor mad. He's a wise and friendly engine who is always ready to help his friends; however, he refuses to put up with nonsense.

In his first appearance in "Hero of the Rails", Victor helped Thomas to restore Hiro with the help of Kevin. Victor would leave flatbeds of old engine parts for Thomas and the other engines to bring to Hiro. After Sir Topham Hatt found out about the situation, he put Victor in charge of overseeing Hiro's restoration.

Livery
Victor is dark red with yellow stripes, and black and yellow hazard stripes on his bufferbeams. The side of his cab has the Sodor Steamworks logo.

Basis
Victor was built by Baldwin locomotive works and is based on 1173, an 0-4-0ST-T locomotive that worked on sugar plantations in Cuba. As the Sodor Steamworks is based on high profile locomotive works (such as Crewe and Darlington), Victor is based on the narrow gauge locomotives who lived there delivering parts to different departments.
