Bert

Bert is a miniature engine on the Arlesdale Railway. He arrived on Sodor in 1967 after his line in England closed down along with Rex and Mike. Bert is the oldest engine on the Arlesdale Railway, as well as a hard worker and sometimes has useful advice for the younger engines of the railway: such as Mike, Jock, and Blisters 1 and 2.

Basis
Bert was built in 1894 and is based on the Ravenglass and Eskdale's River Irt. He was rebuilt in 1972 and his rebuilt shape also is based upon that of River Irt.

Livery
Bert is painted blue with red and yellow lining. He remained with this livery after his rebuild.
