Description
-Name: Barry the Rescue Engine

-Basis: LMS 2MT Ivatt 2-6-0 Tender Engine

-Built Date: 1956

-Arrived on Sodor: 2000

-Number: 14; 6402 (Formerly)

-Railway: Northwestern Railway; London, Midland and Scottish Railway (Formerly); British Railways (Formerly); Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway (Formerly)

-Affiliations: Northwestern Railway, Main Line, Knapford Sheds, The Little Western (Occasionally), Callan Sheds (Occasionally), Norramby Branch line (Occasionally), Wellsworth-Brendam Branch line (Occasionally), Brendam Docks, The Flying Kipper (Occasionally), Knapford Harbor, Knapford Container Terminal, Sir Topham Hatt

-Gender: Male

-Bio: After being salvaged from the Barry Island Scrapyard in Wales, a Welsh tender engine that was named after the yards had to overcome the past 30 years of psychological trauma he spent there, Barry has come off as a startled, nervous, superstitious and fearful engine who has an intense fear when it comes to being scrapped, or even a slight fear of diesels ever since his withdrawal, as the days when the Beeching Axe took place had been worrying the poor engine sick, and not even spending his life on a heritage railway could help him overcome his anxiety levels. But now that Barry has become a member of Sodor too help out as a utility engine with any of the increased goods traffic, now he has hard a time trying to overcome his demons, and is incredibly self-doubting, but will the other engines be able to help him overcome his traumas?

-Artist's Commentary: Here's Barry the Rescue Engine, the engine who would've made it in to the Railway Series, had Christopher Awdry decided not to go with Thomas and the Fat Controller's Engines, despite being in 1995, the Golden Jubilee of the franchise. I still think we should've gotten this guy! Only 2 users on YouTube I know of that adapted him, which is ThomasFan247 and WildNorWester, as these two had inspired me to do Barry for my fanfic series, and I will go on both routes they took, with Barry having PTSD because him being withdrawn, and about to be scrapped, even though in Christian's adaptation, it was just him having a phobia of diesels. Mine will be both, with Barry learning to realize the world around him is changing and to be more open-minded, while also realizing he will never be scrapped again, especially since the North Western Railway has had a history of saving engines and road vehicles from scrap. I could tell you more about Barry, but I didn't fill out a lot as that would be giving away spoilers, and plus, after that story arc, I need to think what else I could do for him. His arc will be a take on the TUGS episode, Jinxed, where he will be in the role Boomer was in that episode. Barry will be #14 on the NWR, and will be here to stay. But one thing I will point out as that like in both ThomasFan247 and WildNorWester's fan series, Barry will be based off of a LMS 2MT Ivatt, but the tender engine version, as we actually have the tank engine version in the TV Series, in this case, Arthur, but will I include him, well, I'll let you figure that out? But next will be another TV Series character, who "she" will most certainly be in.

For my updated design, I fixed the edges, gave him the new brake line I've created, and, he has teeth this time. I admit, the old face wasn't that great.
