About

Ivor the Engine is a British cutout animation television series created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin 's Smallfilms company. It follows the adventures of a small green steam locomotive who lives in the "top left-hand corner of Wales " and works for The Merioneth and Llantisilly Railway Traction Company Limited . His friends include Jones the Steam, Evans the Song and Dai Station, among many other characters. Ivor the Engine used stop motion animation, of cardboard cut-outs painted with watercolours. The series was originally made for black and white television by Smallfilms for Associated Rediffusion in 1958, but was later revived in 1975 when new episodes in colour were produced for the BBC . The series was written, animated and narrated by Oliver Postgate. Peter Firmin provided the artwork. The sound effects were endearingly low-tech, with the sound of Ivor's puffing made vocally by Postgate himself. The music was composed by Vernon Elliott and predominantly featured a solo bassoon , to reflect the three notes of Ivor's whistle. Voices were performed by Oliver Postgate, Anthony Jackson and Olwen Griffiths. Anthony Jackson provided the voices for Dai Station, Evans the Song and Mr Dinwiddy.
