Patrick, previously named Lord Harry, is a mountain engine.
Bio
In 1960/1 two of the remaining engines in the railway's ageing fleet were in need of an overhaul. The decision was made to order three new and more powerful engines to assist in the ever increasing traffic. Lord Harry was the first to be built at the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in Winterthur, Switzerland, to a "super-heat" design, and arrived on the Culdee Fell Railway in March 1962 where he was named after the railway's chairman, Lord Harry Barrane.
Lord Harry was troublesome and frightened his coaches by taking risks. After he came off at the Summit, Lord Harry was stripped of his name and sent to the back of the shed. After he heard the tale of Godred, he asked for a second chance, and was given one as a lowly shunting engine. However, when a message came warning that some climbers needed help during a gale, No. 6 went to the rescue and was fittingly renamed "Patrick" in honour of a climber who risked his life to help the others.
Persona
Lord Harry was arrogant, pompous and reckless at first, but learned his lesson after his mountain rescue. Now, he only takes risks if absolutely necessary.
Basis
Lord Harry/Patrick is based on the Snowdon Mountain Railway's Padarn (formerly Sir Harmood).
Livery
Lord Harry/Patrick is painted purple with orange lining. His number is painted on in yellow and he has red nameplates.
Appearances

Patrick also appeared in the Railway Series: Surprise Packet.
Trivia
- Even though he was renamed, the merchandise lines still called him Lord Harry.
