## Bio

Gary was built on December 31st, 1956 at Crewe Works. At some point in his life, he was transferred to Newport shed, where he met engines such as Freddie and Flying Scotsman, while getting into several misadventures of his own.

### Bio in *Gary the Steam Engine*

Gary once sent Freddie off looking for a clitoris to get him away from himself, only to end up having to save Freddie after he ended up in Barry Scrapyard looking for one.

### Bio in *The Dark Railway Series*

In 1962, due to a contract that Freddie had created, Gary, Freddie, and Flying Scotsman came to visit the Dark Railway. Whilst they were there, Gary helped to collect the railway's Christmas presents with Dave, only for them to stop at a pub on the way home and leave the presents behind. Gary was shocked to see his enemy, Gold-Buffer, come into the yard with the presents, though the diesel assured him that he wouldn't kill him that day. Shortly afterwards, Gary and the Newport visitors returned home.

Gary returned to the Dark Railway several years later, in 1978, for a gala along with Stan. He announced to a delighted Dave that he had come out of retirement, and learned that his brother Barry was on the railway too. The attention Gary received made Barry jealous, leading to him breaking down whilst pulling an excessively heavy train to prove himself. Gary apologised for neglecting his brother, and after putting on a good show rescuing the train left the railway soon after.

## Persona

Gary is a laid back and easy going engine, but is very foul mouthed and, when pushed, can show great potential. He is very caring of his best friend, Freddie, whom he likes to keep an eye on and sometimes abuse when the situation calls for it.

## Livery

Gary is painted in British Railways unlined black with the early crest.

## Basis

Gary is based on the British Railways Standard Class 9F 2-10-0.
