It has taken a while, but Stanley is now ready for work on the Fat Controller's Railway, Stanley is based on a hybrid of a Hudswell Clark 0-6-0ST and a Kiston 0-6-0ST No. 5459 Austin No. 1. He has two bunkers; one at the front and the other at the back.
Stanley has a tall silver funnel and a bunker that is slightly angled at the back of his cab, he is grey with red lining, silver pipework, a red running plate with a dark grey basecoat and red drive wheels.
Stanley was brought in to do Thomas's jobs while he helped to take charge of the work at the newley discovered town of Great Waterton, He is a kind friendly engine and always willing to help out no matter how big or small the job is.
Stanley also has an arched shaped face and his name on the side of his boiler. Thomas didn't like Stanley being on Sodor at first, and wanted to make him look silly, but when his plan backfired, Thomas soon realised that he was follish to think he was more important than all of his friends, and soon became good friends with Stanley.
