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 98462 (Once again, now Alfred), 4563 (Now Elsa), and 3429 (Now Liz). 87546 decided to be named Chris. He was bullied by Gordon but later helped him up the hill, later that night, he apologized to him that he was given a second chance. He is now a permanent Sodor resident. That day onwards, Chris works on the Norramby Branchline.

Basis
Chris is based off the LNER B17 Class

East Aglian and City of London are also members of this class (However, Chris was never rebuilt into a streamlined engine)

Personality
Orginially, Chris was very rude to the other engines but he has since turned his behavior around. He likes working on the the North Western Railway. No matter the job, Chris is willing to get it done.
