Skarloey

Skarloey is the oldest engine on the narrow gauge Skarloey Railway. Skarloey has appeared in both the television series and The Railway Series books. He is painted red with white stripes, and sports the number 1 as well as nameplates bearing his name on both sides.

When Skarloey first appeared in Season 4, he had not worked in some time, but soon proved his worth once more. Throughout the TV Series, he has been a dedicated worker and a very wise engine. However, in later seasons, there has also been an element of timidness, and occasional childishness, adding depth to his character.
