Biography[]
The Railway Series[]
When the headquarters for the North Western Railway moved from Vicarstown to Tidmouth in 1925, Tidmouth Yards became the main yards for the railway. Initially, a little blue tank engine was in charge of the yard, however he was later either reallocated or sent away.
When the big engines went on strike, Percy became the head shunter of the yard and station. He was later replaced by Duck as yard shunter when he left to help with the expansion of Knapford Harbour in 1955.
When Duck got his own branch line in 1967, the yard was once again left without a shunter. Nowadays, the shunting appears to be handled by James and the Scottish Twins.
The warehouses for Light Engineering Co. and Bolt and Knutt Engineering Co. are located here.
