Atlas, Alfred & Alex

Atlas and Alfred, also known as The Mine Engines were two narrow gauge pannier tank engines. Alex in the other case was built to shunt trucks. Atlas and Alfred were built at Jouef Decauville, in France circa 1899. They were shipped to Sodor and purchased to work at the mines of the Mid Sodor Railway. Atlas and Alfred's model were built by the Rev. W. Awdry to OO9 scale. They are based and modeled on the Jouef Decauville Type 1 0-4-0PT locomotive, without cabs and shorter funnels. The model Awdry used for Atlas and Alfred is prone to motor burnouts. This is most likely why only one engine is seen on his second layout as the first was ruined and he bought the second as a replacement.
