-Bio: Uh-oh, better watch out for these two, as Iron ‘Arry & Iron Bert are twin 08 shunters that work at the Sodor Ironworks, a.k.a. the Smelter’s Yard. They are as bad as any devious diesel, malicious, scheming, menacing, and nasty to many of the steam engines, and even fellow diesels that respect them. They have such a strong bigotry, they would even go as far as trying to scrap one, earning the nickname, the “Grim Messengers of Doom”, as they take great delight in scrapping old steam engines. But after attempting to scrap Stepney, the Fat Controller has made sure to keep a close eye on them, so now they have to put with teasing or playing tricks on the steam engines. Though there is one difference in the twins, as ‘Arry is far more cunning and sinister, while Bert is more of a follower than a doer, as he’s a little goofy at times, and may have some compassion that he just won’t admit to. Even though they do hate steam engines, they can be cooperative and respectful when needed.

-Artist’s Commentary: I admit, doing 'Arry & Bert were pretty hard, only because of the hazard stripes, logos, dace, and of course, duplicating them. I hope you like them though.

-UPDATE (11/4/2020): Hi guys! I decided to tell 'Arry & Bert apart, so that way it'll be easy to like Donald & Douglas, Bill & Ben, etc., aside from their faces with Bert having more stubble, its still confusing. So I gave them nameplates, and numbers to make it easier, and yes, the twins are the 6th & 7th diesels on the NWR. Enjoy!

Perfect! I was kind of scared of 'Arry and Bert during my childhood years as the threatened to scrap Stepney. Over the seasons, they decided to go from there to chasing butterflies to watching little ducklings (as seen in Series 20's Diesel and the Ducklings). Although I was no longer scared of the Ironworks twins and I do wish they were back in their old personalities again.
