Stephen

Stephen nicknamed "The Rocket", is an early steam engine who works at Ulfstead Castle.

Bio
Before Stephen came to Sodor he worked on the Liverpool & Mancester Railway but then he was bought for the Tidmouth Knapford & Elsbridge Light Railway before returning to the Mainland in 1914 but in 1980 he was uncovered by Sir Robert Norramby and brought back to Sodor, where he was overhauled at the Sodor Steamworks.

Norramby had Stephen restored in April 1980, so that he could take tourists around the castle grounds; however, Stephen was not aware of this and after being told by Thomas that the Earl had a surprise job for him, became too excited to wait and travelled around Sodor, looking for jobs that he could do. However, Stephen proved to be too weak and slow for most of the jobs and after visiting an abandoned mine, became trapped after having to avoid a runaway train from running into him. While he was in the mine, Stephen managed to uncover King Godred's long lost crown and after being rescued, he was given a new funnel and was present at the grand opening of Ulfstead Castle.
