Patrick (formerly named Lord Harry and known for a time by his number, No. 6) is a narrow-gauge mountain-climbing engine who works on the Culdee Fell Railway.
Biography
In 1960/1, Culdee and Shane Dooiney were in need of an overhaul, which required them to be sent to their manufacturer in Switzerland. The decision was made to order three new and more powerful engines to assist in the ever increasing traffic. Lord Harry was the first to be built at the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in Winterthur, Switzerland, to the latest "superheated" design. He arrived on the Culdee Fell Railway in March 1962, allowing Culdee to be sent away for his overhaul. Upon his arrival, Lord Harry was named after the railway's chairman, Lord Harry Barrane.
Lord Harry was troublesome and frightened his coaches by taking risks.[1] After he derailed at the Summit, Lord Harry had his name nullified, and was sent to the back of the shed in disgrace. After he heard the tale of Godred, he asked for a second chance and was given one, though only working with the "Trucks". When a message came warning that some climbers needed help during a gale, No. 6 went to the rescue and was fittingly renamed "Patrick" in honour of a climber who risked his life to help the others.[3]
Personality
Like Godred, Patrick was very arrogant, pompous, reckless, and irresponsible at first, but learned his lesson after his mountain rescue. Now, he only takes risks if absolutely necessary and is more responsible and mature than ever before.[3]
Technical Details
Basis
Patrick is based on No. 6 Padarn, an engine who worked on the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Padarn was formerly named Sir Harmood, after the chairman of the railway. Padarn was built at the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in Winterthur, Switzerland in 1922.
Livery
Patrick is painted in the Culdee Fell Railway's livery of purple with orange lining. His number (6) is painted on the sides and back of his cab in yellow and he has a red nameplate with a gold boarder on the sides of his tanks with his name (Patrick) on them, also in gold. His buffer beams are painted red.

Official Description
The Railway Series
From Official Media:[4]
| “ | Lord Harry (No.6): Accordingly three superheated engines of the latest design were ordered. These were delivered at two-monthly intervals during 1962. Lord Harry arrived in March, allowing Culdee to be sent away for overhaul. Lord Harry’s performance was, at first most unsatisfactory. His eccentric behaviour in traffic led to his suspension from passenger work. He was accordingly deprived of his name and relegated to service duties only. This treatment had the desired effect, and following his gallant behaviour in a crisis, he was restored to favour and re-named Patrick. | ” |
From Official Media:[5]
| “ | Lord Harry (6): Lord Harry reached the railway in March 1962, but his behaviour to begin with was not good. As a result he was suspended from passenger work, but later redeemed himself with a gallant rescue in appalling weather. He was renamed Patrick at the request of the young man he had rescued, and reinstated. | ” |
Thomas & Friends
From Official Website:[1]
| “ | Lord Harry: No. 6 Lord Harry is one of the new mountain engines, and is very reckless. He reckons his "Super Heat" means he can go twice as fast as the other engines. This caused him to come off the track once. The Manager put him in an engine shed in disgrace, and took away his name.

From Official Media:[2]
| “ | Lord Harry: Lord Harry is considered to be a "terror" by the other mountain engines because of his arrogance and careless nature. Since he is a newer engine, Lord Harry thinks he does not need to pay the same attention to safety as the older engines. He learned his lesson when he derailed, causing both his and Wilfred's passengers to be extremely late.
