Harvey is a tank engine with a crane mounted on top of his boiler, which makes him look rather unusual.

Bio
The other engines teased Harvey at first, but when he was able to rescue Percy after an accident they realised 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 buffers. His name and the number "27" is written on both his sides in yellow.

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

Appearances
Harvey first appeared in the sixth season, and has since been frequently seen and featured throughout the later seasons.
