Technical Details BasisĬuldee is based on No. But he does like a bit of excitement and tells great stories about the other engines, including the sad story about Godred's misfortune. He and his coach, Catherine are a fine team, and favourites with passengers. Culdee is the sensible one of the Mountain Railway, and he often tries to tell difficult engines their faults and warns them what might happen.

He is filled with advice to give to the other engines, including unruly ones. One time, him, Sir Handel and Lord Harry were arguing about whose turn it is to pull coal trucks.Ĭuldee is careful, cautious and friendly. He retains most of his Railway Series characteristics, with him working on the Culdee Fell Railway on Sodor. Magazine StoriesĬuldee has appeared in a few magazine stories. While on his way, Culdee got to tell stories about his railway to some of the engines of the Skarloey Railway. He arrived back on Sodor in May 1963, with Donald taking him back to the Culdee Fell Railway. When Lord Harry was delivered in March 1962, Culdee left for overhaul first instead of Shane Dooiney as he was the most run-down of the two. They were carefully maintained and sent back, in rotation, to the builders in Switzerland for overhaul.īy 1960, the four engines were ageing and the crunch came when it became apparent that both Culdee and Shane Dooiney would need heavy overhauls in the near future, so three new engines were ordered. Following Godred's accident, Culdee and the three other engines worked the line successfully for 60 years. In March 1900, he was the first to be used in the test runs on the Culdee Fell Railway, pushing two coaches to the Summit. Culdee was built at the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in Winterthur, Switzerland, and arrived on Sodor alongside the other four engines in time for the railway's inspection and opening.
