Coffee Pots (T&F)

The "Coffee Pots" were small engines which worked on the North Western Railway. Glynn is one of these engines.

Biography
The Coffee Pots were built by a young Sir Topham Hatt and used to work on the Ffarquhar Branch Line before Thomas' arrival on the Island of Sodor. According to Sir Robert Norramby, they had long and productive working lives. Little is known about the other Coffee Pots aside from Glynn - the last survivor of the engines - however it is most likely that they were scrapped.

Basis
While the Coffee Pots are said to be freelance engines of Topham Hatt's own design in The Railway Series, Glynn (Coffee Pot No. 1) is depicted as being based on the Head Wrightson & Co Ltd. Type 1 "Coffee Pot No. 1" vertical boiler locomotive of 1871. It is unknown whether the other Coffee Pots would have shared the same basis or used a different design.

Livery
The livery worn by the other Coffee Pots is currently unknown.
