| − | ==Bio== |
||
| − | |||
| − | Stanley was built in 1917 and worked in America before arriving on the [[Mid Sodor Railway]]. Stanley had a tendency to ride roughly on the rails, and believed that it didn't matter if he came off the track occasionally. However, this attitude resulted in his being converted into a pumping engine. He last worked at the [[Cas-ny-Hawin]] mine until he broke down in December 1946 and the mine became flooded. With no reason to stay open, the [[Mid Sodor Railway]] closed down the next month and Stanley was scrapped. |
