Barry, named after Barry Island, the home of the scrapyard in South Wales where he was rescued, was a potential character for The Railway Series. He was to first appear in the book, Barry the Rescue Engine - which was initially thought to be the thirty-ninth volume of the Railway Series, however, it ended up becoming cancelled and replaced by Thomas and the Fat Controller's Engines. It has since been revealed by Christopher Awdry that the book had been created in the 1980's and the engine similar to Wilbert were completely different engines altogether. this is his class but it needs a face you have 3 weeks to draw one on the area that says face hear prizes are 3rd a shout out 2nd a interview ask any questions you want no questions about my identity!!! 1st ??? a surprise
