Green Arrow

"My brothers and I were built to run fast goods train, but we did it so well that they let us pull expresses too."

Bio
Green Arrow is a LNER Class V2 preserved as one of the main attractions of the National Railway Museum. He is kind and gentle and, like his brothers, is a good puller and shunter. Now, he is only seen on the main line on special tours.

Green Arrow resembles Flying Scotsman; the only differences are that Green Arrow is shorter and has a wheel arrangement of 2-6-2 with a six-wheeled tender.

Thomas met Green Arrow after his unusual arrival on the back of a lorry to find Green Arrow being repaired.

Trivia

 * Green Arrow is the only LNER Class V2 2-6-2 tender engine in preservation.
 * Green Arrow was recently withdrawn during 2008 because his ten-yearly boiler certificate has expired. He is to be put on display at the National Railway Museum in York from now on.
