Albert (NWR)

Albert is a furness tank engine

Bio
Albert worked on the Lakeside branch on the Furness Railway running to Windermere with his two coaches, Victoria and Helena. One snowy day (likely between 1891 and 1924) after boasting about snow, Albert had stopped outside the mouth of a tunnel while collecting passengers at Haverthwaite. When he started, he gave off so much steam that he caused an avalanche and became buried in snow. After he was rescued, he learnt to take more care in wintry conditions.

Victoria later mentioned Albert to Edward, while they were being mended at Crovan's Gate Works. She noted that Albert only ever had one accident.

Personality
Albert's character appears to be like that of Thomas - Victoria described him as being gentlemanly and polite. Albert has a slight tendency to be boastful and cocky.
