Rosie (TTTE/T&F.)

Rosie is a lively tank engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor and is the North Western Railway's #37 Engine in The Thomas And Friends TV Series. . Rosie is based on the USATC Class S100 0-6-0T Tank Engines built in The United States of America to fit the restrictive british loading gauge from 1942-1944. they were designed and built for shunting duties in Europe during World war II. After World War II ended, 15 of the USATC Class S100's were sold to the Southern Railway, who modified them for use as dockyard shunters at Southampton. There, they worked alongside The LB&SCR Class E2 0-6-0T's (Thomas's siblings.) The USATC Class S100's was replaced by B.R Class 07's (Salty's brothers) in 1962, however some members of the class remained in service on departmental duties until 1967. . Rosie is a friendly, clever, feisty and energetic tomboy with a good sense of humour. She is free-sprited, quick, and loves having fun. She idolized Thomas and would attempt to imitate him, but has since become more independent while maintaining a good friendship with Thomas, despite some incidents that unintentionally worry, annoy or even embarrass her. Rosie likes hard work and being really useful, and is very eager to prove her worth. . But despite maturing, she still idolizes for Thomas, but it nowadays happens in rare occasions.
