}}'''[[The Thin Controller (RWS)|The Thin Controller]]'s House''' is a building located at [[Crovan's Gate (RWS)|Crovan's Gate]] north of the [[Skarloey Railway (RWS)|Skarloey Railway]]'s yards.

==History==
The original house was built in 1865 and located next to the carriage shed. The building was later demolished as an economy measure during the railway's lean years (1920-1950). A new house, located next to the wharf bridge, is now rented for the Thin Controller.{{Ref|[[The Railway Series|RWS]] "[[The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways]]" p. 49}}
