Rebecca/Behind the Scenes

Background Information
Rebecca is a fictional standard gauge tender locomotive created by Ian McCue and Davey Moore.

In 2018, Rebecca made her debut in the twenty-second series episode, Confusion Without Delay, and became a new member of the Steam Team. She, alongside Nia replaced Edward and Henry, respectively, in the main cast. According to Ian McCue, this was done to fix the gender imbalance at Tidmouth Sheds and diversify the Thomas and Friends franchise.

In March 2021, Ian McCue confirmed that Rebecca had originally been written to debut in the twenty-first series and was to replace Edward while Henry was supposed to still stay at Tidmouth Sheds. However, her introduction was pushed back after the series was cut short.

Rebecca is voiced by Rachael Miller (UK/US) in the CGI version of the series on both sides of the Atlantic.

Rebecca is based on the SR Unrebuilt West Country/Battle of Britain Class.

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