Godred

Godred(named after King Godred) was a was a narrow gauge mountain-climbing engine who worked on the Culdee Fell Railway.

Bio
Godred was built in Switzerland in 1900 and arrived on Sodor the same year along with Ernest Wilfred Culdee and Shane Dooiney in time for the railway's inspection and opening. He was also named after a king with made him arrogant, supercilious and reckless.

One June 4th one month after the Culdee Fell Railway was opened he was coming down the line with his coach when he derailed on Devil's Back and rolled down the mountain. Nobody was hurt in the accident, but Godred was badly damaged. When he was recovered the following day, Godred was found to be beyond repair and the Manager knew it would be too expensive to mend him, so he was left at the back of the shed where he was eventually scrapped. His remains were scavenged to help keep the other engines going until newer engines could arrive and they could go to Switzerland for overhauls.

Culdee later told the story of Godred to Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel and Duncan during his brief stay at Crovan's Gate. He also told No. 6 about Godred when he was sent to the back of the shed for being naughty.

In 2004 a replica of Godred was built and was named Godred 2.

Godred was later mentioned by Gordon in Toby Sleepchuffs when he says What in Godred's name were you thinking Toby?!
