Stepney

Stepney, named after a district in London, is a tank engine who lives and works on the Bluebell Railway, hence his nickname, "The Bluebell engine".

Original Debut
Stepney was stranded on a siding in the scrapyard at the Vicarstown Goods Depot where Rusty found him and arranged for him to be put back into service. He now runs the Bluebell Branch Line.

Stepney later wanted to have a change from his branch line and he was sent to help Toby and Mavis at Anopha Quarry. This excursion nearly ended in disaster after 'Arry and Bert tried to scrap Stepney, luckily without success, after Stepney accidentally ventured into the Sodor Ironworks. Stepney later helped Edward with the running of The Loop Line and when there was a Hot Air Balloon flying across the island, Duck accidentally ran into him due to gazing up at it. A while later, he was hit by a truck of sugar in an incident caused by Rosie.

LOTM Storyline
Nowdays, he has a rocky relationship with Trip.
