Bio
Charlotte was built in 1924 at Darlington Works. By 1959, she was living at Copley Hill depot, in Leeds. She was present when Stephen told the engines a story about Scott, and she also made Wensley reveal that he was a not-so original North Eastern engine, but a British Railways copy of his class.

Basis
Charlotte is based on a GNR Class H4/LNER K3 Scottish 2-6-0 engine.

Livery
Charlotte is painted in BR lined black. Originally she had a late crest but now her model is lettered 'British Railways' in cream on her tender.
