Description "You asked for it...now SHUT UP!"

Another "what if" picture.

This time, I've done D7101 if he had been in the TV series.

Many fans of the Railway Series will know about 7101. In "Super Rescue", he came for a trial on Sodor with a rude and pompous diesel named 199, (who he told to shut up after boasting to James and Duck).

Next day, while pulling the "Limited", his injector failed, but he could still move with help from Henry, who had failed himself while pulling some oil-tankers as well as 199, (who had, himself, failed).

Soon after Henry helped 7101 home, the engines put in a good word for 7101, and he came back to Sodor to stay, and was renamed Bear, because of the growling sound his engine made.

Apparently, his faces were modeled after Byron' faces.

According to the Trainz stories, I understand.

And they're really good choices. (I really love that angry face)

I hope one day they can somehow get Bear into the series.

If Bear was in the series, I think he should keep his Blue livery like when the Skarloey Railway Engines did instead of all being red.

Can you do D199 TV Series style?

Nice drawing. Also, nice guess as to how he would have looked in the TV series. He really needs a Railway Series book of his own.
