Awdry required a setting for his books that would be within Great Britain, but would be sufficiently isolated from the rest of British Railways to allow him to do as he wished with the location.

Victor is, presently, the only narrow gauge engine owned by the Fat Controller.So, while Victor's prototype is standard gauge, he, like the high profile works locos, is narrow gauge.
As the Sodor Steamworks is based on high profile locomotive works (such as Crewe and Darlington), Victor is based on the narrow gauge locomotives that lived there delivering parts to different departments. Victor is based on 1173, an 0-4-0T locomotive built by Baldwin locomotive works that worked on sugar plantations in Cuba.
Victor has a heart of gold and a good sense of humor and is a respected manager by all of the engines. Victor is a very busy engine, who's always on the run, fixing broken down engines, finding useful parts, and supervising Kevin. He slid off and was forced to stay in the water until he could be lifted out. Victor later joined Thomas and the others on a trip to the Mainland but soon he remembers another part of his secret when a wave broke the weak chains holding him down to the platform of a cargo ship. Victor one day remembers falling in the sea when he shared his secret with Thomas when Spencer the Silver Engine challenges him to a race around Sodor along with Diesel 10. He's a wise and friendly engine who is always ready to help his friends however, he refuses to put up with nonsense. He works closely with Kevin, whose clumsiness often drives Victor mad. He is always busy finding parts, delivering, collecting, and supervising activities around the yard. Victor is one of the managers of the Sodor Steamworks. It is Victor who keeps the Island of Sodor steaming along! Victor has a heart of gold and a good sense of humor and is a respected manager by all the engines. He is a very busy engine, always on the run – fixing broken-down engines, finding useful parts and supervising Kevin. Victor is the manager of the Sodor Steamworks.
