Beresford (Thomas and Friends)

Beresford is a rolling gantry crane who works at a canal on the Mainland.

Thomas & Friends
When Thomas traveled to the Mainland, he met Beresford. He stopped Thomas on his way to Bridlington Goods Yard, demanded he told him something new and sang Who's Thomas? Thomas tricked him and passed through underneath him. Later on, Beresford picked Thomas up with his hook and helped him to hide from Hurricane and Frankie after escaping from the steelworks. He befriended Thomas by helping him hide from Hurricane and Frankie.

Personality
Beresford is usually very lonely having no one to talk to, with engines often passing through with other work. His rather agressive way of getting to know new engines makes it hard for him to make friends, as shown by him dropping a fishing boat in front of Thomas and slinging Thomas up with his hook in a later encounter, but he's well meaning, though jealous of the freedom engines have to go anywhere.

Basis
Beresford is based on the Stothert and Pitt rolling gantry crane which is located at Bristol Harbour.

Livery
Beresford has sky blue paintwork with magenta and yellow lining and white hazard stripes.
