-Bio: Green Arrow is the sole survivor of his long last class, the LNER V2's, and is one of the residents at the National Railway Museum in York. He is a friendly, noble and pleasant fellow that is always filled with good intentions, and is friends with every engine he meets. While he is grateful to be preserved, other times he can be quite nostalgic and melancholic when thinking about the good old days when steam was in service, and when he and his brothers would also haul express freight services, as they were mixed-traffic based, and this is especially true Arrow actually loves pulling trucks, though he still loves to do any job he is given. Thankfully, these problems help provide that closure whenever he visits Sodor occasionally, and is closest with Thomas the Tank Engine, as the latter had visited the National Railway Museum before, were the two became very close friends, and both can give each other good advice when in need. Green Arrow always appreciates life, and makes it his intention to be useful, regardless of what he does, as he is always filled with honor, compassion, and dignity, and can always help and engine in need.

-Artist's Commentary: Hello my peoples! So next up is a character I wanted to get to for a long time, Green Arrow. Despite only appearing in one book, and never made it into the TV Series, he's definetley a nice character, and I am impressed with the fact the V2's themselves were mixed traffic and are shorter than the A3's like Gordon and the Flying Scotsman. Too bad I never got to see him when I was in York last year, which is hard to believe that was on the same day as last year. The personality, I had to try and work on, and I even gave him some of my personality traits, such as he is a kind and friendly, but also nostalgic for the glory days of ours lives, wishing deep down we had those moments, even though we gotta live in the moment and be grateful for what we have. This is true with me, as not only do I miss those days when I was a child, but I miss my high school days a lot, especially after I graduated and had to leave my friends. And since Green Arrow is a mixed traffic engine, I also thought even though he likes pulling passengers and doing rail tours, he also likes handling trucks, like Edward, Salty, Stepney, etc., and can discipline them just as well as those three.

For my design, I admit, I tried my best, I wanted to make him look a little different from Flying Scotsman and Gordon, but it was hard, especially when trying to find a decent picture of the big engine. I even tried to make his face accurate to his actual illustration from the book. I guess it looks alright, as what do you guys think? As right now, I am opened to criticism. I hope you do like my take on Green Arrow, as I got my portrait done today as well, so it doesn't just stop there.
