"Well, this is nothing compared to some of the stunts Owen has pulled, so I guess I'll count my blessings."
(Wendy, Luke and Millie's Blue Mountain Adventure)

Owen is an incline traction engine.

Bio[]

Owen is the incline traction engine at the Blue Mountain Quarry, whose job is to transfer trucks of slate up and down the incline. When he tried to keep Luke a secret from Thomas and reluctantly helped Thomas up the incline when he needed to speak to Luke. This resulted in Thomas coming off the rails and hanging dangerously over the edge of a cliff until Luke saved him and brought him back to the incline. However, the weight of both engines was too much for Owen, and the platform they were on hurled to the quarry floor.

He was unsure about the idea of a deer staying in the quarry, believing that the quarry was no place for a deer, and became disappointed when Luke had the idea of the engines working more quietly.

Persona[]

Owen is an enthusiastic incline engine, based on a vertical traction boiler, housed at the top of the incline at the Blue Mountain Quarry. From high up above the quarry floor, he gamely takes great pride in his job and never tires in the overseeing of empty slate trucks up the incline, while sending loaded ones down, often announcing the transportation of cargo as he moves it between terraces. He likes to maintain steady, safe operation throughout the quarry and enjoys ensuring everything is running as it should. He is keen to help any engine with their work and make sure everyone is on track.

Trivia[]

  • Owen's Take-n-Play model is used because he was not featured in the Wooden Railway range. According to Matt, he made several failed attempts to build a LEGO Owen beforehand.
