Editing Ivor the Engine (section)

===Ivor===
Ivor is the [[steam locomotive]] of the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company Limited. Unlike real ones, he has a mind of his own. Ivor can drive himself and use his whistle to communicate. His fondest dream is to sing with the Grumbly and District Choral Society, a dream that is realized when his whistle is replaced with three pipes from an old fairground organ. He becomes the first bass of the choir, as well as providing them with a means of getting from place to place.

Ivor enjoys doing all sorts of things that humans do. As well as singing in the choir, he likes visiting the seaside, [[Windermere kettle|making tea from his boiler]] and spending time with his friends. He is fond of animals, and has several of them among his friends. He can be willful and disobedient at times, and it is not unknown for him to go and do his own thing when he should be working. He dislikes shunting and timetables.

Although Ivor has no technical basis, he does have technical information and a place of origin. As stated in series 2 episode 14 "Smoke hill" it is quoted that Ivor is "Just an ordinary small Box tank, 3 Cylinder Straight linked, 0-4-0 engine By Huntington & Pottage of Crewe."
