Barry

## Barry the Rescue Engine

**Barry**, formerly known by his number 65, but later named after Barry Island by Shaw Savill, home of the scrapyard in South Wales where he was rescued, is a black mixed traffic tender engine.

## Bio:

In the night of December, 1964, 65 met Duchess of Loughborough and Ryan at Trent station, while pulling a goods train. The three engines introduced themselves to each other with 65 explaining that he doesn't have a name and is just called by his number. He worried after Ryan suggested to escape with them, but later joined them and left his train, guiding them on the LMS rails to Darby. The three engines eventually ended up at Brentford station unsure of where they were, until they met Shaw Savill and Maria who pulled in from the opposite direction. Shaw informed them that they were in the Southern Region and offered to guide them to a safe place to lay low for a while, they ended up hiding in the yards of Eastleigh Works where they slept for a few hours in an old shed. Several hours later, 65 along with Duchess and Shaw were surprised when Ryan and Maria introduced them to Sir Pelleas a N15 King Arthur class and Ben a D3/12 diesel shunter, but he was pleased to know that Ben is friendly diesel that wanted to help the steam engines. He later left with the other engines that night to make the journey up to Crewe, but along the way the group ended up crashing into Meryl at Oxford who was derailed due to crashing into some trucks that were left on her line. After getting Shaw Savill and Meryl back on the rails thanks to the help from Lucas, they made a dash for it after they were spotted by a passing diesel and stop at Gloucester to catch their breath. However tensions between the engines began to heat up when Shaw revealed his true colors and what he had planned for them. The Merchant Navy fought against Duchess and Ryan with help from Maria, 65 tried to help Duchess and Ryan, but he was stop by Lucas who took side with Shaw and Maria. Shortly after the group was confronted by Roderick, Levi, Goyle, Western, and Whistler who had been hunting the group down; they tried to make a run for it, but they ended up trap at the yards of Gloucester where they ended up staying for a whole day after Shaw took Simon a BR class 01 diesel shunter hostage to prevent the DJD from trying to take them away. The group band together to set Simon free knowing now that they had no chance of escaping and that they wanted to get as far away from Shaw Savill, Maria, and Lucas as possible. After Simon was freed, the group was apprehended by the DJD and sent to their respective scrapyards. 65 and Shaw Savill were taken to Barry's Scrapyard by Levi and Whistler who taunted them both as they left. 65 went on lecturing Shaw on how this was all his fault that they ended up in the scrapyard which enraged the Merchant Navy stating that he would start calling him Barry, which the Standard 2 seem to secretly like the name Barry.
