Harvey

Harvey is a crane engine

Bio
When Harvey first came to the island, the engines said he looked different and all of them except Thomas did not trust him. However, he saved Percy after an accident with some Troublesome Trucks at Bulgy's Bridge and it made them realise that Harvey's difference is what makes him special. Since then, he has proved very useful and has used his crane arm for maintenance, building and clearing up. He mainly works at Brendam and the Shunting Yards, but his favourite place to be is at the Water Works, where he is said to live.

Since his addition to the railway, Harvey has helped after many accidents. However, he was not able to do it alone and Rocky was brought to help.

Bill and Ben made fun of Harvey for being both a crane and an engine. However, Porter helped Harvey see the positives of being a crane engine. The dock manager asked Harvey to deliver flatbeds of scrap metal to Vicarstown since Edward had been delayed, but he was not paying attention when he was going down Gordon's Hill and his flatbeds derailed. Fortunately for Harvey, he was able to use his crane to clear up the mess and was able to deliver the cargo. He also helped Thomas back onto the rails after an accident.

Harvey teamed up with Samson with collecting trackside scrap for the scrapyards while Scruff was being repaired and helped build the Earl's new Dinosaur Park.

Diesel tried to make mischief between him and Daisy by saying that the other was boasting about being unique. However, this led to the two becoming good friends. After a branch got stuck in his gears, Harvey tried to fix the problem himself. Unfortunately, he ended up derailing in a tunnel. After he was repaired, he spun his crane fast enough to throw a crate all the way to a dock worker. He later did the same thing again after Rebecca told him how cool he looks with his crane while helping Bill and Ben clear up the accident.

Personality
Harvey is a relentlessly cheery, big-hearted, helpful crane engine. He has a very odd shape, due to his crane attachment atop his boiler, which he can be upset about if the other engines make fun of it. However, he is very able to show that his crane is very useful in lifting cargo, trucks, and sometimes some smaller engines. He has a tendency to throw a load if he gets excited enough.

He is also sensitive as shown when he first arrived on Sodor. He does not like to be made fun of or ridiculed.

He has a booming, thoughtful voice and large wooden buffers. He is happy to work anywhere, ready to help clear up after an accident and offer words of care, comfort and advice.
