After rescuing Duncan's train, he was given a great boost of confidence and works with Rusty and Atlas on maintenance duties.Ītlas is the second-newest member of the fleet. The truth was, Fred felt insecure as the nature of his construction had him doubt his capabilities. At first, everyone, especially Rusty, considered Fred to be lazy as he would often pretend he was ill.

Duke is now the 'Granpuff' of not just Sir Handel, Peter Sam and Atlas, but Duncan, Ivo Hugh, Fred and Rusty as well, and a good friend of Skarloey and Rheneas.
Duke was left behind in an old shed when the MSR closed in 1947 when Falcon and Stuart were sold off, but happily reunited with them 22 years later when he was found again. Because of his natural ability to guide and teach younger engines all they need to know, he has gained great respect from Falcon/Sir Handel and Stuart/Peter Sam, and earned the nickname 'Granpuff'. He was named after his grace, the Duke of Sodor.
He is a 0-4-2T.ĭuke was built by Boston Lodge in 1879 and was the 1st engine on the Mid-Sodor Railway the following year. Not much is known about him but, he relies on the help of older engines to get his work done. He was built for any additional traffic that had come over the years. Ivo Hugh was built in the Crovan's Gate Works, designed by Andrew Barclay, and was named after Skarloey Railway's former chief mechanical engineer, Mr. Duncan can be quite rude and arrogant but following derailments in the tunnel and on stretch track south of Cros-ny-Culrn he began to see sense and made up his feud, whom he judged badly for being a diesel. He came to Sodor right after Peter Sam's accident with the slate trucks and as re-guaged 2ft 3in. He was bought secondhand to Sodor in 1958 as a spare engine.

Rusty is a maintenance diesel and works with Mr. in Lincoln, England and was bought by Sir Handel Brown in 1957 to assist Sir Handel and Peter Sam. Rusty was built by Ruston and Hornsby Ltd. Soon, he was given a new funnel and a Giesl ejector, which suits him better. Once, his funnel was knocked off as he entered a tunnel and was replaced with a rusty, old drainpipe. He had plenty of adventures with Sir Handel. Peter Sam was built by James Kerr and John Stuart in Stroke-on Trent, England for the Mid-Sodor Railway in 1920. They were both puchased for a total fifty pounds for the Skarloey Railway and was renamed Sir Handel and Peter Sam in 1952. He and Stuart were shut up at the project's close for almost a year. When the Mid Sodor Railway closed down in 1947, he and Stuart were sold to the aluminum works at Peel Godred for an expansion project. He arrived in 1904 and he was named Falcon. Sir Handel was built at the Falcon Works in Loughborough, England for the Mid Sodor Railway. The two engines reconciled after Rheneas saved Skarloey from a landslide. Unlike Skarloey, Rheneas was more serious and fell out with Skarloey after the engine called him a "stick-in the mud" following an argument over cabs. Rheneas was built at the same place as Skarloey in 1865. He is a 0-4-2, originally 0-4-0, Saddle Tank engine. He used to be a jokester engine but, as he had grown, he matured, too. He was the first engine on the Skarloey Railway in 1865. Skarloey was built at Fletcher, Jennings, and Co. 1.11 Adeline (SkR no.11, formerly SkR no.
