"Courage is facing what scares you in order to help someone."
— Yong Bao giving advice to Thomas, The Tiger Train
Yong Bao (Mandarin: 勇寶 or 勇宝) is a big red brave tender engine from China who often pays visits to the Island of Sodor. His visit to Sodor made Thomas a little jealous, but in the end, the two became good friends.
Yong Bao is based on a Chinese Railways RM class 4-6-2 Pacific, built by CSR Sifang Co Ltd between 1958 and 1966. He is painted Chinese red with yellow stripes on his boiler, cylinders and smoke deflectors and a green running board and buffer beam. His wheels are painted dark red. The design of a tiger is painted on his tender, while a dragon face adorns the front of his funnel. (Source: Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go Wiki)
