Bio[]
Erin was built by the Sodor and Mainland Railway in 1882, originally engine number 5. When the box tanks were scrapped, Erin became number 2 in 1910. Before closure of the S&MR, she had a terrible accident in 1914, and withdrawn from service. However, in 2009, Percy discovered her, and promised to keep it a secret from Sir Topham Hatt. When found out by Alfred, Percy reluctantly told Sir Topham Hatt who understood, and now Erin is a really useful engine again and works on Edward's branchline as a mixed traffic engine.
