Embsay Station

 

 

Getting up steam. 

 

Thomas is a rather cheeky, but good hearted engine and generally behaves well, except when he is getting into mishap. He loves teasing the others and, on occasion, brags about his superiority, but is always brought down to earth in due course. If Thomas has one major character flaw, it is that he is forgetful, and slightly impatient. However, he is also optimistic and idealistic

 

 

 

Mavis is a diesel engine who works for the Ffarquhar Quarry Company at Anopha Quarry. She also works at the Sodor Slate Quarry. 

 

Percy is a fairly typical British industrial shunting locomotive. His bunker is quite unusual for an 0-4-0ST shunter, but was presumably added to allow him to travel greater distances without refuelling than was previously possible. 

These locos are Thomas's friend's for the day.

 

 

 

 

Raising steam.

 

An indoor lauout for anyone that wants to play trains. 

 

After an enjoyable day out at Bolton Abbey Priory and the railway time to head home, but not without a stop on the way for a meal.
