Darcy (T&F)/Behind the Scenes

Television Series
Darcy is a fictional tunnel-boring machine created by Becky Overton.

In 2019, Darcy made her debut in the twenty-third series of Thomas & Friends in the episode, First Day on Sodor!.

Darcy is voiced by Harriet Kershaw (UK/US) in the CGI version of the series on both sides of the Atlantic, respectively. The character is voiced with a matching accent to her home country, mainly a British accent like many existing characters in the television series.

Darcy is based upon a Roadheader EBZ-200 tunnel boring machine with an added cab.

CGI Model
In 2009, the series introduced Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. In 2018, Darcy was created from scratch in CGI by Jam Filled Toronto for the twenty-third series. The model was "hand-sculpted" in Maya, a 3D animation and modelling software.
