Emily The Train

Emily The Train - The big sister on deck

Thomas and Friends began as books written by Rev. A. W. Awdry for his son. When the books started to gain popularity, Thomas and Friends was made in to a television show. The show was comprised of animation that used action figure-like dolls. The show featured a number of celebrity readers, one of whom was Ringo Starr. The series was set on the island of Sodor, which is a fictional island that is located in the Irish Sea. On the island there is a railway line, which is where Thomas and his friends work. The railway is managed by Mr. Topham Hatt and Mr. Percival. In fact, many people fail to realize that the Thomas the Train  series is actually inspired by real world events from the author.

Emily  is a  Sterling Single train .  She has a dark green coat of paint, large driving wheels, and a shiny copper valve cover. She was the first female engine on the show, and she is the only female that is part of the Steam Team. The Steam Team is made up of the eight primary engines on the show. Emily did not make her appearance until later in the series. She appeared in season seven. Due to this late appearance, she is the only member of the Steam Team that was not in the original books that became the inspiration for the show. Emily is a rather bossy character, and this makes her a kind of older sister figure to some of the younger and less experienced engines. It can also make her hard to work with at times. When Emily first arrived on Sodor, she accidentally steamed off  with Thomas’ coaches. She did however save Thomas and Oliver from an accident, which made Thomas forgive her.  Mr. Topham Hatt  gave Emily two of her own coaches as a reward. Emily the Train speaks with a Scottish accent on the series. Emily is known for her compassion, bossiness, carefulness, and her desire to please others.  

Emily is a great train , and also a beautiful one. With her dark green paint, big driving wheels, and glowing copper valve cover, she is a great looking steam engine. She is hard-working, compassionate, and organized. She can have her bossy moments, but in the end, she is always a great member of the Steam Team.  Emily The Train On Sale @ Amazon
