Darcy is a tunnel-boring machine who works for the Sodor Construction Company. She is the newest member of the team.
Biography
Thomas & Friends
Darcy arrived at Brendam Docks and was delivered to the site by Nia, but her clumsiness was found to be detracting by James and the Pack, especially since the latter were expecting a different machine. She soon amazed everyone with her skills when her time came.
Later, she helped to rescue Monty when he fell down one of the old Lead Mines the Pack were working at.
Personality
Darcy is clumsy, but well-meaning, always doing her best even if others do not believe in her. She can feel distant at times, but good support always brings her back in the end. Additionally, Darcy is very knowledgeable about tunnel boring, and takes her work very seriously, as shown when she warned Monty about the unstable ground above the old mineshafts.
Technical Details
Basis
Darcy is based on a Roadheader EBZ-200 tunnel boring machine with an added cab. Alternatively, she could be based on the design with a similarly shaped, albeit smaller cab.
Livery
Darcy is painted yellow all over, with a red stripe along the bottom of her cab and a turquoise blue stripe above. Her visor frame is brown and she has a chrome stepladder.
