King Robert (named after Robert the Bruce of Scotland) is an LMS Patriot class 4-6-0 tender engine. He was built in 1934 by Crewe Works to pull express trains on the LMS between London in the UK and Edinburgh in Scotland along with his brothers and sisters. King Robert was the last and the most powerful of his kind. but sometime in the late 1960s, all of his brothers and sisters were scrapped with only himself surviving, this made him fell heartbroken now that he lost his family. He is hoping to be part of the Great Togail Railway so he wouldn't feel so lonely since he lost all of his brothers and sisters. but the problem is that he is nervous, and worried that he won't be accepted.
