Matthew

Personality
Matthew is a kind old engine, always ready to help out. He can sometimes complain, as evident where he grumbles on how the railway could not get an engine during the war.

Basis
Matthew is based on a Neilson 0-4-0 box tank, a simple and robust class of engine built in Glasgow and sold all over the world. This basis is reflected in his name and class. Unlike his brothers, he is a 0-4-2 rather then a 0-4-0. He is the only S&M engine that had buffers.

Livery
Matthew is painted dark green with "S & M 3" written on his tank sides in yellow.
