Patriot is a express tender engine from the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
Biography[]
The Railway Series[]
Patriot was one of the Express engines from the Other Railway who often terminate at Tidmouth, spend the night at the sheds, and returned home the following day. Once, he had gotten into an argument with Gordon and Duck about what the name of the station in London was. Gordon claimed to have visited King's Cross and thought that was the station's name; Patriot thought that it was Euston, and Duck thought that it was Paddington as he had once worked there.
Little did the engines know that they were all correct, as there were many different stations in London for varying railway companies. Even so, Gordon and Duck still argued about it after Patriot went back home. When Gordon was given the opportunity to travel to London and find out the name of the station, he jumped at the chance, but was most disappointed to find out that the station he arrived at was St. Pancras—none of the three engines knew that London had several major stations, not just one[2].
Stories From Sodor[]
Season 4[]
Patriot once came to Sodor to help out on the North Western Railway. He started off on the wrong foot, calling Jacob and Sierra driving the engines "disgraceful" and calling the railway "wretched". However, after he had an accident after some trucks at Bulgy's Bridge and was helped by Duck, Murdoch, and Rocky, he realized he was wrong and apologized[3].
Stories From Sodor:Future[]
Season 7[]
Patriot was one of the engines at Vicarstown when BoCo, Sidney, and Paxton came through with a large goods train for Bridlington[4].
Season 18[]
When the engines needed help with heavy goods work during the busy summer season, Patriot was sent to Sodor to help. At first, Brady was skeptical of Patriot at first, having heard from Duck about his visit in 1956. Regardless, Brady led Patriot to Knapford, where he was reintroduced to Jacob. Patriot was surprised to find that Jacob had become controller since his last visit, but congratulated him nonetheless. While on the way to Crosby with his first train, Patriot had to stop at a signal, where he met Murdoch, who was surprised to see him, but gave him directions regardless. That night, Patriot stayed at Knapford Sheds, where he was gladly welcomed by the previously skeptical Brady[5].
Patriot was still on the Island by Halloween, when he was surprised to find Jacob and Anna decorating the station for the party, as the Other Railway never celebrated Halloween. He later happily attended the party that evening, and had a lot of fun with his new friends[6].
The Slightly Less Early Years[]
In a retelling of his lone Railway Series appearance, Patriot was one of the Express engines from the Other Railway who often terminate at Tidmouth, spend the night at the sheds, and returned home the following day. Once, he had gotten into an argument with Gordon and Duck about what the name of the station in London was. Gordon claimed to have visited King's Cross and thought that was the station's name; Patriot thought that it was Euston, and Duck thought that it was Paddington as he had once worked there.
Little did the engines know that they were all correct, as there were many different stations in London for varying railway companies. Even so, Gordon and Duck still argued about it after Patriot went back home. When Gordon was given the opportunity to travel to London and find out the name of the station, he jumped at the chance, but was most disappointed to find out that the station he arrived at was St. Pancras—none of the three engines knew that London had several major stations, not just one[7].
Personality[]
Patriot was rather pompous, conceited, and single minded.
According to his Wooden Railway description, he is a quarrelsome engine from London, he travels from time to time for an overnight stay at the Big Station. According to his Take-n-Play description, the Big City Engine is a pompous character that thinks London trains are the best. During his visits to Sodor, the other engines always get upset with him.
He has been shown to be more friendly towards the Sudrians later in his life, however.
Basis[]
Patriot is based on a London, Midland and Scottish Railway "Patriot" Class 4-6-0. These engines were given the nickname "Baby Scots" as the design was based on the Royal Scot Class. All of the original "Patriot Class" engines were scrapped. Given the fact that he has no nameplate, it is plausible to assume that he is one of the 12 Patriots who never got a name during their working service.
A replica of No. 5551 is currently under construction. Unlike the original engine, which never received a name, the new one was christened as "The Unknown Warrior".
Livery[]
Patriot is painted in Deep Bronze green with orange lining. His wheels and cylinders are painted grey. His buffer beams are painted red with silver buffers.
