Description
-Name: Connor the Streamlined Engine

-Basis: SR Battle of Britain 4-6-2 "Light Pacific" Class Tender Engine

-Built Date: 1945

-Arrived on Sodor: 2005

-Number: Ulfstead Castle Express No. 1

-Railway: Estate Railway; Southern Railway (Formerly); British Railways (Formerly); Severn Valley Railway (Formerly)

-Affiliations: Ulfstead Castle Estate Railway, Sir Robert Norramby, Barrow n' Furness, Northwestern Railway (Occasionally), Main Line

-Gender: Male

-Bio: Connor, along with his friend Caitlin, are two streamlined engines that work at Ulfstead Castle taking passengers from the Barrow n' Furness to the castle, as well as touring other parts of Sodor along with his own set of coaches. Connor enjoys racing along the main line, and is proud to running express trains at high speeds. He's very energetic and excitable, and is always eager to be friendly with every engine around in his sight, and is always encouraging towards towards the others to have fun. He is looked upon as a hero by a lot of railway enthusiasts and engines alike, despite coming off a little vain and conceited at times, Connor and Caitlin are still fun to around, and is so spirited, nothing beats down Connor, especially bringing back the nostalgia of the old days of steam when engines like him broke speed records that stood the test of time.

-Artist's Commentary: First up off the streamline duo, we have Connor, who is my favorite of the two. Now I know what you guys are wondering, why is Connor a Battle of Britain and not a New York Central Railroad Hudson like his TV counterpart? Well, for accuracy reasons really, as like many fans, I'm tired of the internationalism the show has gone through when Mattel took over, as engines like Connor & Caitlin are too big for the British loading gauge, and them working on British Railways is really inaccurate. Despite that I myself am an American, and I love North American Railroads, as after all, it raises nostalgia for me growing up, this is really inaccurate, and to be honest, I am really a big fan of British Railways, mostly because of Thomas the Tank Engine, its that they got an efficient system, and beautiful engine and rolling stock designs, but I won't forget how cool American Railroads are, (AMERICA, chuckles)! I don't feel I should take all the credit, ThomasFan247 gave me this idea when we were talking about this subject once, and I had the idea from him of instead of not including the character, change the class too a British locomotive, and of all of them, I chose a Battle of Britain class, as that I feel would really suit Connor, and this was before Rebecca was thought of, but I wouldn't care, as I don't watch any new episodes anymore. Plus, I like Connor and Caitlin, so thanks to Christian, now I know how I can add them in, but to keep the accuracy of the series, both engines will still be Irish though regardless. I hope you enjoy, and in my Caitlin promo, I will elaborate on how her and Connor will be depicted in my series.

-(UPDATE: 2/17/2020): I changed the color of his deflectors!
