Bio
In 1930, two green engines without names, orginially known by their numbers - 87546 and 98462 - were sent to the North Western Railway on trial. They were horrid engines and were very spiteful and mean to poor Edward, Gordon and Henry, as well as The Red Engine so the Fat Director decided to send them away.

Then he arrived on Sodor again in 1947 with three other LNER engines which are 85746 (Once again, now Chris), 4563 (Now Elsa), and 3429 (Now Liz). Then he was thinking the LNER is the best railway on the land. 98462 decided to be named Alfred. He thinks Tank Engines should be only be station pilots and let big LNER Tender Engines like him run the Branchlines. He hates it when Tank Engines like Thomas or Duck and smaller Tender Engines like Edward runs branchines, he thinks the North Western Railway is weird because of smaller engines running Branchlines. He then was painted from LNER Green to NWR Blue and complained about the work, the line, and railway. Then Sir Topham Hatt had enough of his complaints and almost sent him away once again but Alfred decided to change his behavior and become a permanent Sodor resident. That day onwards, Alfred works on the Norramby Branchline.

Basis
Alfred is based off a LNER B12

Personality
Orginially, Alfred was very rude to the other engines. Alfred is now an engine who works on Sir Topham Hatt's Railway.

Quotes
"Little Tank Engines shouldn't be running Branchines, only us LNER Engines can run them smoothly."
