Meet Mavis – Sodor’s Hardworking Quarry Diesel

Deep in the rugged hills of Sodor lies the Ffarquhar Quarry — a busy place full of stone trucks,

dusty tracks, and important jobs to be done. At the heart of all that hustle and bustle is Mavis,

the smart and hardworking black-and-yellow diesel engine who keeps everything running

smoothly.

Mavis may be smaller than big engines like Gordon, but she more than makes up for it with

confidence, capability, and determination. Loved by children for her no-nonsense attitude and

clever problem-solving, Mavis brings modern diesel power and a can-do spirit to our Train &

Track Play sessions.Who Is Mavis?

Mavis is a diesel shunter, specially designed to move heavy trucks around the quarry and

organise stone deliveries. She’s practical, efficient, and always ready to help.

She’s easy for children to recognise thanks to:

●😀 Her confident, friendly smile

●🪨 Her strong connection to the quarry and heavy work Mavis takes great pride in being useful and dependable. She loves proving that even a smallerengine can take on big responsibilities.

What Does Mavis Do on Sodor?

everything in order. From time to time, she travels down the branch line to lend a helping hand to Thomas and Toby, showing just how reliable and versatile she can be.
