Meet Philipo!

Philipo is a yellow square boiler engine who lives and works on the Great Southwest Railway. He came to Sodor due to the railway was being constructed, and was hired by Sir Harry Norton (The Railway Controller) as a freight engine for help in the construction of the railway. Sir Harry Norton was so pleased with Philipo's job, that he purchased Philipo and decided to stay with him. Philipo due to being a "prototype engine" he has some working problems, principally in the brakes.

Later, Philipo was traveling to Reslond, but his brakes played against him and his brakes fail. Causing him having an accident with a fallen tree. Philipo was taken to the Works by Dany, his best friend, there he was repaired.

In Halloween, Philipo plans a trick with Denna and Dany for teach a lesson to Jordyn. The engines covered Denna with a sailcloth and Denna acts as a ghost engine and Jordyn learns the lesson.

In Winter, Jordyn goes to England to clear the snowy tracks and gets lost. Later, Philipo and his friends went to find her. Later they find her covered with snow.

But a few months later, he derails and fall from a cliff forcing him to change shape. Philipo's blueprints we're no ready at time and the Sodor Works and Co. was in the need of mix several engine models for change the shape of Philipo.

In summer, Philipo was ready to return to steam.

Philipo came to the railway when 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.

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

Fun Fact!

Originally, Philipo was going to be called Stuart, but later I change his name because I was thinking about a more singular name. 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.
