Wilfred is the number 3 on the Culdee Fell Railway.
Bio
Wilfred was built at the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in Winterthur, Switzerland, in 1895. Soon afterwards, he arrived on Sodor during the opening of the Culdee Fell Railway.
When Culdee returned from an overhaul, Wilfred and Ernest informed him about changes that happened to the railway. Later, Wilfred and his coach were later delayed at the Summit after Lord Harry derailed at the points. Culdee and Wilfred teased him for being a "wreck".
Personality
Wilfred is a kind old mountain engine. A hard worker, he is very cautious and gets upset at the carelessness of the other engines. He is known as the musical engine by the other mountain engines because he loves to whistle as he ascends and descends the steep hills.
Trainz Model
