Arthur
Arthur the Big Tank Engine

Arthur is a burgundy tank engine from the LMS.

Bio

Arthur was built at Crewe in 1946. When he first arrived on Sodor in 2003, he was excited to work for the Fat Controller and took great pride in his "spotless record", which he soon lost after colliding with Duck's trucks in an incident largely provoked by Thomas. He was bought to shunt and pull freight, but then was transferred to the coastal run, on which he enjoys working. He is responsible for this line, which is famous for it's fish. Arthur is known to be the only engine to enjoy the smell of fish.

Livery

Arthur is painted LMS burgundy with gold lining and "LMS" on his side in yellow.

Persona

Arthur is a kind and helpful engine, and often careful to get his jobs done without fuss or mess. However, when he first arrived he proved to be somewhat gullible- something of which Thomas used to his advantage.

Basis

Arthur is based on an LMS Ivatt Class 2MT '2-6-2' tank engine developed for the London Midland & Scottish Railway (hence the initials LMS on his tanks).

Appearances

Arthur appeared in the seventh, eighth and eleventh seasons. He also made a cameo in the twelth season episode, Steady Eddie.
