Tubey the Junk Engine

Tubey was the first engine brought for the Whittleton Forest Railway. He was built by a private company at the controllers request and was finished in 1880. He gained his name while he was in the workshop, one of the workers brought his kid to work and when he saw the boiler the child said "thats very... tubey!" and he decided to keep it, which went well with this round tender. He was built on a tight budget, so he was made from parts of all different engines that were going to be scrapped. He was sent by boat to the WFR along with Rudolph and Terry. He started working as a good engine, taking goods around the line and he quickly became good friends with Terry. In 1897 when Dan's brakes broke, he helped Terry to stop him from crashing. Tubey was the first engine to see Max in 1902, which lead to the hunt for the mysterious engine. After Terry got lost when he lost control of a train in 1908, Tubey went looking for him and he found Terry with Earl on the Abandoned Extension. He helped take parts to Earl after Terry suggested repairing him. He was also one of the engines invited to Earls reveal at the works. Tubey was one of the engines that went to Scotland to rescue Gavin and Jeanette. Tubey was present when Tanner and Travis revealed they were Terrys brother in 1913. He was also one of the engines invited to the opening of Central Station. Due to the Quarry Line Railway going bankrupt, the WFR brought the line and Tubey was moved to the stone quarry, taking stone trains from the quarry to the docks. In 1914 when war was announced , Tubey volunteered to go to france to take supplies, soldiers and other important things to the front line along with Terry and Max.

## Personality

Tubey is a hardworking engine, but he is very careful due to him being built out of odd parts and this stayed even after his rebuild. He works very hard as he feels he has a duty to uphold by him being the railways number 1. He's a very calm engine who rarely gets angry. He is very level headed, but when he needs to shout he can be one of the loudest engines on the railway.

## Technical Details

Tubey is a freelance engine built by a private company in 1880. He was built out of parts from engines heading to the scrapyard or just other junk hanging around. He's an 0-8-0 freight engine with red paint and yellow stripes, the number one and WF on his tender as well as the railway logo on his cab
