Kelly

Kelly is a mobile crane who works for the Sodor Construction Company. He is the oldest member of the Pack and originally belonged to Miss Jenny's father.

Thomas & Friends
Kelly was one of the first members of the Pack that Jack met, and he and Isobella both advised him to see the Foreman. A while later, he attempted to try and help Jack hold up a bridge that was collapsing, but by the time he had rushed over to the bridge, it had already collapsed.

Later, Kelly told the story of the One-eyed Truck to Percy and the rest of the Pack. Kelly also gained a fear of strong winds after an accident in which he was blown over, but he got over this fear after he rescued Isobella from falling off the Rail Under Road Bridge and Stone Wall. When Max and Monty carelessly crashed into the lightning tree, he, Alfie and Oliver held the tree up while Jack went to fetch the props and the tree was saved. He later helped with the restoration of Great Waterton.

Personality
Kelly is good at heart and gets along with everyone. He is especially good friends with Isobella. He is seen by many as the team's leader, and is usually given the most dangerous work to do. He will not be rushed and understands that work of this kind takes extreme care. Kelly used to have a slight fear of strong winds, but he conquered that fear when he rescued Isobella.

Basis
Kelly's basis is unknown and appears to be a freelance design. He loosely resembles a 1943 Thornycroft Amazon Coles Crane lorry. He also loosely resembles a 1942 Austin K6 lorry, built with a mobile crane body. Both these lorries where used by the Royal Air Force order by the British land forces during World War II.

Livery
Kelly is painted navy blue with red lining and a cream crane arm. His wheels are navy blue with red lining. He has the number "17" painted on his sides in cream.
