Mrs. Kyndley (T&F)/Behind the Scenes

Thomas & Friends
Mrs. Kyndley is a fictional woman and wife created by the Rev. W. Awdry.

Mrs. Kyndley was introduced the first series of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends.

Gauge 1 figures
Mrs. Kyndley's Gauge 1 figure was custom built from wood for the first series. It was filled in with craft paint. The model was constructed for distance shots only.

Attempted Theft
On 25th November 2022, Mrs. Kyndley's small scale figurine owned by Twitter user HectorFan2008, was stolen during the unloading of containers in preparation for a display at the Greenberg Great Train and Toy Show in Edison, New Jersey, the following day. At approximately 7:00pm the same evening, Twitter user Legomastr365 would rediscover the figurine outside of the convention center, likely having been dropped by the culprit during the attempted theft. The prop would be returned to its owner and was later restored by Twitter user FlyingPringle to fix any damage endured by the ordeal.

Close-up figure
A close-up figure of Mrs. Kyndley was constructed for scenes where she had to interact with the close-up models for engines and set dressings. Just like the Gauge 1 figure, the model had many variations to match the needs of the plots. Rather than wood, the close-up model was made from lead, which was replaced with resin copies for the second series to the fifth series.
