Kylie is a pink tender engine who works on the main line. She is a mixed traffic engine, who can be seen taking goods trains most of the time.

Bio[]

Kylie first appeared when she was saved from scrap by Brady, Olivia, Emily, and Rusty.

Persona[]

Kylie is a rather cheeky, but kind engine, and generally behaves well, except when she is getting into mishaps from being over-eager. She is also very sensitive and does not like being teased.

Basis[]

Kylie is based on a Great Northern Railway G3 Stirling Single 4-2-2. Designed by Patrick Stirling in 1870 with 8ft 1in driving wheels and outside cylinders, they were specifically built for high speed expresses between London and York. These locomotives were capable of hauling 280 ton trains at 50 mph, though they could reach 85 mph on lighter services. A total of 53 were built at Doncaster between 1870 and 1895, in three series introduced in 1870, 1884 and 1894 respectively; the last was withdrawn in 1916. The only surviving member of his class (No. 1) is on display at the National Railway Museum. The locomotive in preservation carried a small capacity Sturrock tender, which was given in its first restoration in 1910. Recently, a derelict original Stirling Single tender used as a water and sludge carrier was found in Peterborough and, after restoration, was paired with the locomotive in 2014.

Livery[]

Kylie was originally painted pink with purple lining. She has her number "26" on her tender, along with her name in purple. She also has a purple running board.

In the twenty-first season of Stories From Sodor:Future, Kylie was repainted in GNR green with cream lining and a cream running board. She has her number "26" on her cabsides in cream. She also had her name and the letters "SCR" on her tender in cream.

Trivia[]

    • As such, Kylie's number is in the same font as Benjamin's
