Emily

Emily is a single stiring engine

Bio
Emily 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built at Doncaster between 1870 and 1895, in three series introduced in 1870, 1884 and 1894 respectively; the last was withdrawn in 1916.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 her 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.

Personality
Emily is a kind, caring, and helpful engine. Emily is very empathetic and cares for others. She is very helpful too, willing to aid in any task. She can be very wise, often giving advice to the younger engines on the railway. However, because of her assertive tone, she can be seen as bossy, often causing some to ignore her. Her advice also has the tendency to be unsolicited, which can be annoying. She likes things to be structured and controlled but sometimes her desire for control can maker seem unpleasant. She doesn't mean any harm though and everyone knows she has their best interests at heart.
