  • Skarloey is a red narrow gauge tank engine, and a character in Thomas the Tank Engine Tales. He is engine number 1 on the narrow gauge railway. Skarloey's best friend is Rheneas.
  • Skarloey is old, wise, faithful, friendly, brave and courageous, although he will never stand any nonsense from engines, coaches or freight cars whatsoever. However, in his young days, he used to be very badly-behaved and full of his own ideas, but learnt sense after being fitted with a new pair of wheels and when his brother Rheneas saved him from an accident with a mudslide. Since then, he has been a much dediciated worker and very wise engine. In recent seasons however, he has acted a little immature and somewhat cowardly.
  • Skarloey, a narrow gauge saddletank engine, is the oldest engine on the Skarloey Railway.
  • Skarloey is a fictional locomotive from The Railway Series by Rev. W. Awdry. He is one of the oldest engines on the Island of Sodor. Skarloey lives and works on the Skarloey Railway as Engine No.1.
  • Skarloey was built at Fletcher, Jennings and Co., Whitehaven in 1864 as a 0-4-0ST with no cab, which caused him to bounce a lot. He was the first engine to arrive on the newly-developed Skarloey Railway in 1865. His young antics proved bothersome but he soon matured when he received his cab and trailing wheels. Skarloey was put aside in 1945, fit for steam only in extreme emergency.
