![]() When the ship arrived at the docks, Luke asked to be taken up first. While at sea, the chains holding Victor down to the deck of the ship snapped, causing him to roll freely along the short stretch of track that he was on. ![]() Because Victor did not speak the same language as Luke or the crew on the ship, they could not understand him. In Blue Mountain Mystery, it is revealed that Victor originally came to Sodor with Luke. Some artistic licence was taken, as the original #1173 is a standard-gauge locomotive. The staff decided they wanted an engine with a cab, and chose as a prototype ALCo's #1173, which was specially built for a sugar plantation line in Cuba. The show's staff were researching real-life engine workshops as inspiration for the Steamworks when they learned that one had a self-contained narrow-gauge line, used to transport parts internally. Victor was introduced in the feature-length special Hero of the Rails. He speaks with a Cuban accent and spoke Spanish when he first came to Sodor. Victor always has a helpful, constructive disposition and is good-humored with everyone he meets. He supervises all the engines who journey in and out of the workshops, as well as Kevin, the clumsy yard crane. ![]() Victor is a dark red Hispanic tank engine in charge of the Sodor Steamworks.
