Emily the Beautiful (Stirling Single) Engine is a fictional locomotive from the television series, Thomas and Friends. She is also the first female steam engine to be featured on television, and is the only female member of the "Steam Team", the eight core characters of the series. She is painted dark green, and has large driving wheels and a shiny brass dome, of which she is very proud. She is one of the main protagonists.

Bio

When she first arrived on the Island of Sodor, she took Thomas's coaches Annie and Clarabel by mistake, much to Thomas' dismay. However after she rescued Thomas and Oliver from an accident Thomas forgave her. Sir Topham Hatt (the "Fat Controller") rewarded her with two coaches of her own. From Season 8 onwards she has been depicted as a rather bossy character, which can make her difficult to work with at times. She is sometimes a "big sister" figure to little engines like Thomas and Percy.

Emily is unique among the Steam Team in not originating in the Railway Series, the books that form the basis of the television series. She is a relatively recent addition to the TV series, arriving in Season 7.

Model

Emily is based on a Stirling 4-2-2 of the Great Northern Railway. These engines were used on high-speed express services from York to London in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Great Northern Railway used a dark emerald green livery on their locomotives similar to that carried by Emily.

ThomasxxxEmily

Ever since Thomas and Emily first met, there has been a secret love between those two, according to certain fanfic authors who quite frankly know nothing about adult emotions. So they reckon Thomas totally has a thing for Emily, despite there being absolutely no evidence whatsoever for this on screen outside of their own imaginations. Although there have been hints of a relationship between these two, including the end of her debut episode, Emily's New Coaches.
