Eagle (also known as Winston, the Red Engine, and Red Max) was an engine on The Lancashire & Yorkshire and then the North Western Railway.

Bio

Eagle was built in 1912 and probably worked on The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in England. He came to Sodor sometime before May 1915 to work on the Tidmouth, Knapford and Elsbridge Light Railway. He helped build the North Western Railway, and was inherited by Sir Topham Hatt. When Henry refused to come out of the tunnel in 1924, he was called to help. He tried to push Henry out, but to no avail. Eagle left in 1929 to his heritage railway but returned briefly in 1950 (1935 fan accepted timeline) to help out with an increase in passenger trains. He still works on the railway to this present day.

Personalitywise, Eagle is a kind and friendly engine, and is genuinely well liked by the others but he can be strict when he needs to be.

Trainz Model

WildnorWester's model of "Winston" is used in NWR Origins.

Thomas1Edward2Henry3 had named him Eagle, which is a common fan name for the Red Engine.

Basis

Eagle is based on an L&YR Class 28 with modifications very much like James before that, he was a 3F class 0-6-0 tender engine.

Trivia

  • In The Three Railway Engines, there are two illustrations that include a red engine. There is a debate to whether they are the same engine. According to the Wiki, they are not, as they have different bogey arrangements. However, it is likely that the illustrator made a mistake, like he did in many places. Therefore, T1E2H3 considers them both to be the same engine.
