Claire

Claire [#D46011] is a BR Class 46 diesel who works on mixed-traffic duties along The Main Line in 1959.

Bio
She arrived with Douglas the Class 28. Another diesel was there, too. He was a BR Class 42 and his number was. Douglas arrived for a the branch line work. Claire and #D821 was supposed to be on the main line. #D821 was so rude to all of the engines. Claire and Douglas tried to stop him but he was rude to them, too. The next day, Lauryn and Claire were double-heading a goods train together from Scawby to Edinburgh. Lauryn starts a conversation with Claire about #D821. Claire apologizes about his abysmal behavior. Lauryn explains that is wasn't her fault or Douglas'. They soon reached Edinburgh where #D821 is ready to take the train on to Glasgow. He remarks that they couldn't be more slower and Claire fires back that she'll send him to the scrapyard if he doesn't get a move on. Frightened, #D821 moved along to Glasgow. Soon, the two was in the sheds when a porter came up from the station. He explained how #D821 has come off the rails and he needs help and quickly because the express from the London Midland Region was due. They arrived near Glasgow and laughed at #D821's misfortune. He didn't answer and Lauryn and Claire helped him back onto the rails. Then, they took him back to London where The Controller dealt with him severely. Then, he sent him packing. Lise remarks "good riddance, bug!" and the engines laugh.

In 1988, Claire is chosen to take the Royal Train after The Prince of Wales was to visit the railway. But due to her torque converter being out of whack, Lauryn was chosen to take it. Claire is sad but is cheered up when Kate and Krissy allow her to take the London-Scotland Limited.

In 2003, she is one of the engines to stand up for the engines when Dudley, Donald and Pendolino call the engines worn-out.

Persona
Claire can be arrogant at times but she is a friendly engine. She looks up to Darwin and Candace, as both tank engines have wisdom.
