"That would be vintage Sentinel lorry."

— Elizabeth, Elizabeth the Vintage Lorry, sixth season

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a vintage Sentinel steam lorry.

BioEdit

Prior to his becoming Controller of the North Western Railway, Sir Topham Hatt owned Elizabeth - she notes that he was not the best driver. For unknown reasons, Elizabeth was sheeted in a shed and remained there until Thomas' crew found her several decades later when they needed urgent transportation to the Works for new side-rods. Jem Cole restored Elizabeth and she is to this day in perfect working order.

PersonaEdit

Elizabeth does not like laziness or rudeness and will respond to both in the strongest terms. Although she believes roads are superior to rails, she often helps the engines out. She is very sensitive about how others refer to her by her age.

BasisEdit

Elizabeth is based on a Sentinel DG4 steam lorry with a three-way tipper behind her cab. She shares a basis with Isobella.

LiveryEdit

Elizabeth is painted maroon with gold and black stripes.
