Mike

Mike is a strong red engine who works on the Arlesdale Railway.

Bio

Mike, along with Bert and Rex, were brought to Sodor from England to help run the Arlesdale Railway, which had just completed construction at the time. Mike is mainly a goods engine and prefers to pull goods then pull passengers, the latter of which he dislikes. One of Mike;s more notable adventures is on a day when he was particularly dismissive and haughty, his whistle shot off like a rocket in a field and his passengers had to be called upon to act as his "whistle". He had also had a folly when Marion believed he was magical and tried to consult him for a wish by blocking him on the ballast chute. Because of this, Mike has shown a strong dislike towards the enthusiastic steam shovel.

Persona

Mike is a strong red engine who sometimes can be very arrogant. He thinks he should be in charge of the other two engines, though neither of them really let him boss them around. Bert simply humours him, but Rex goes out of his way to tease Mike and wind him up, which is not very difficult. Mike much prefers pulling goods trains to passengers, unlike Gordon, as he considers goods much more straightforward and less likely to complain. He is proud of his strength and appears rather confident, but he wouldn’t be so easy to tease if he wasn't hiding at least a little insecurity. He can sometimes be a little irritable.

Livery

Mike is painted red with blue and yellow lining. He has a brass dome, red wheels, red nameplates with gold writing mounted on each side of his boiler and the word "ARLESDALE" written on the sides of his tender in yellow. According to Rex, Mike used to be painted green.
