Arthur

Arthur is a large tank engine originating from the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. He runs the Norramby Branch Line.

Biography
Arthur designed by H. George Ivatt was built in 1947 by LMS Crewe Works and brought to the Island of Sodor by Sir Topham Hatt for shunting, pulling freight and sometimes passengers and he takes great pride in his spotless record.In Thomas & Friends he soon lost his spotless record after colliding with Duck's trucks in an incident largely provoked by Thomas. However, this spotless record was soon amended, after Thomas apologised to him for causing the accident.

Arthur has been through a lot of adventures in the Thomas & Friends TV Series with all of his engine and human friends. These are the adventures Arthur has in The Great Trackmaster Adventures of Thomas & Friends.

Personality
Arthur is a big tank engine who has never been naughty in his life. He was highly esteemed for his "spotless record" before he arrived on Sodor, never having made a mess or a fuss and never having caused an accident. His main duties were to shunt trucks and haul goods trains. Arthur can be a bit naive however and after a jealous Thomas tricked Arthur into setting his standards too high with the trucks, his record did not stay as spotless as he had hoped. Arthur is very obedient, cautious, and well-behaved. He aims to please in his work and do everything as best he can. He now mainly runs the Fishing Route by the coastal village, a duty which Thomas was only all too grateful to be relieved from. Here, Arthur enjoys the sea air and the smell of the fish, just like Salty.

Basis
Arthur is based on an LMS Ivatt Class 2MT tank engine developed for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (hence the initials on his tanks). Unlike his basis, Arthur lacks a sand dome.

Livery
Arthur is painted in the LMS maroon livery with gold boiler bands and yellow lining. The letters "LMS" are written on his side tanks in yellow, shadowed by red. His wheels are also painted red and his cabsteps are painted black while the steps at his front buffer beam are red and he has white lamp irons.
