Barry the Rescue Engine

Barry - named after Barry Island, the home of the scrapyard in South Wales where he was rescued from - was a potential character for the Railway Series, to first appear in "Barry the Rescue Engine", which was initially thought to be the thirty-ninth volume of the Railway Series as a follow-up from "Wilbert the Forest Engine". However, the book was shunted aside for a fiftieth anniversary volume, "Thomas and the Fat Controller's Engines".

It has since been revealed by Christopher Awdry that the book has been created well before, and the engine similar to Wilbert was a different one altogether. Hopefully, with the return of the Railway Series to print, Barry will finally receive his own book.

Apparently, Barry will be partnered with Donald and Douglas to help them on the branchlines.
