Meet Philipo!


Philipo is a yellow square boiler engine who lives and works on the Great Southwest Railway.

The series takes place on the Island of Sodor in 1862, so Philipo came to the railway in 1860, originally he was the number 3 on his old railway, and he keep his old number during a few time, later he becomes the number 1 and he has a horrible accident (off camera accident, not recorded), forcing him to change shape.

Originally, he does not have running board, because he was a ''prototype'', but later he has the accident, gets his official shape, he gains the running board, a new lamp, visible coal bunkers, a steam dome, and a two-tone whistle.

Philipo is a very hard worker, he can be jealous sometimes with new engines, but he always being a really useful engine, and he can be cheeky sometimes.

Originally, Philipo was going to be called Stuart, but later I change his name, because Stuart is a common name, and Philipo is very catchy. He was going to be a diesel engine, but I later change this to a steam name, so he can have a more prominent role in the series.

Philipo is based on... Well, for being exact I don't know what's his basis. I made the models acording to their undercarriage.
