| Number: 2 |
Neil was a dark green tank engine with an unusual box shape and a Scottish accent. He is a simple but kind engine who befriended Skarloey when he was young.

Persona
Skarloey said Neil was ugly but kind, and they soon became friends.
Livery
Neil was painted dark green with "S&M 2" written on his tank sides in yellow.
Basis
In "Sodor: Reading Between the Lines" Christopher Awdry states that Neil's class is unknown. However, he strikingly resembles a Neilson 0-4-0 box tank, a simple and robust class of engine built in Glasgow and sold all over the world. This would explain both his name and his accent.
Appearances
Neil only appeared in "Very Old Engines" helping Skarloey off his truck after the little engine first arrived at Kirk Ronan by ship.
Merchandising
Neil's ERTL and Learning Curve Wooden models have been discontinued.
