Ashima

Ashima is a pink tank engine, who works on the NWR ever since Sir Topham Hatt IV bought her from her old railway, she was given the no.24

Bio/Personality:
Ashima is usually found working on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway in Southern India, where the steep incline makes the track very dangerous and difficult to climb. Beautifully crafted with hand painted decals, Ashima is a fun, feisty and likeable engine who is more than happy to help out wherever and whenever needed.

Technical Details:
Ashima is based on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway X class of 0-8-2 Tank Engines. Originally, 17 members of the class were built by the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in 2 batches. The first batch of 12 were built between 1920 and 1925, with an additional batch of 5 being built in 1952. An additional 4 locomotives were constructed by the Golden Rock Railway Workshops between 2011 and 2014 in Tiruchirappalli, India.

Ashima is faithful to her basis, with the only notable difference is that she is standard gauge, unlike her basis, which is metre gauge.
