'Arry and Bert work in the Smelter's Yard at Killdane. Grim messengers of doom, these yellow and green-grey diesels are determined to rid Sodor of all rusting metal, and would really like to melt down scrap. After all, as far as they are concerned, they like to do everything better!
'Arry and Bert are based on a BR Class 08 shunter which are the most commonly seen around the UK with 996 still in service and over 70 preserved at heritage railways. Diesel, Paxton, Sidney, Splatter, Dodge and Fernando all share the same basis.
