Locomotive Ted

Locomotive Ted is a Greeny Jr. original program that aired for 2 seasons of 65 episodes in 1997 and 2000. The main character is a ALCO MRS-1 diesel living on a New England branch line named Ted, along with his older sister Janet (a ALCO RSD-4), two other diesels, Tyler (a EMD GP35) and Brian (a GE B40-8), as well as Tilly, a 2-10-0 "Russian Decapod" steam locomotive. There is also Driver Wolf, a anthropomorphic Alaskan wolf who is always found eating dog treats behind Ted's throttle.

The show was produced by Classroom 8 Productions, a production company set up by a American teacher and railway enthusiast named Mary Hartford. Mary went on vacation with her parents to the UK growing up and saw the classic British children's TV shows, Ivor the Engine and Noggin the Nog (made by Oliver Postgate's Smallfilms) on a small rental TV. The entire series was filmed by Mary and her class of students in the gym of Stall Brook Elementary School in Bellingham, Massachusetts. The models, sets, and characters were built by the art classes and clubs of the school and Bellingham High School. The models had smoke units and were powered using AA4 batteries. The models are now in the ownership of Rod Rodger where they are kept at his summer home. Recently he has placed Energizer EcoAdvanced batteries in the models.
