Persona
Edit
Albert's character appears to be like that of Thomas - Victoria described him as being gentlemanly and polite. He has a slight tendency to be boastful and cocky.
Livery
Edit
Albert is painted in the Furness Railway's red livery with "FR" written in yellow on his sides.
Basis
Edit
Albert is based on the Parker J1 2-4-2 class, rebuilt from the earlier E1 class of 2-4-0 tank engines of 1870, which were built originally by Sharp, Stewart and Co. Seven of these were rebuilt into J1s in 1891. None have been preserved.
