'''''Ivor the Engine''''' is a British [[cutout animation]] television series created by [[Oliver Postgate]] and [[Peter Firmin]]'s [[Smallfilms]] company. It follows the adventures of a small green steam locomotive who lives in the "top left-hand corner of [[Wales]]" and works for ''The [[Merioneth]] and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited''. His friends include Jones the Steam, Evans the Song and Dai Station, among many other characters.

In 2024, to coincide with a reprint of the original book based on the series, Ivor and ''The Merioneth & Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited'' were inducted as the 13th (and only fictional) member of the [[Great Little Trains of Wales]].<ref>{{cite news |last= |first= |date=26 September 2024 |title=The GLTW railways are joining together to welcome Wales’ most-loved locomotive and The Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited with open arms as their official thirteenth member. |url=https://www.greatlittletrainsofwales.co.uk/en/news/2024-9-25/ivor-the-engine |publisher=Great Little Trains of Wales |work= |location= |access-date=10 October 2024}}</ref>
