In 1960 Captain Baxter came to the Bluebell Railway, and returned to service in 1982 after a comprehensive overhaul. He was later overhauled in 1990, and is currently nearing completion of an overhaul. Railway volunteers are seeking to appoint the restoration team who repaired Stepney's brother Fenchurch.

Stepney mentioned Captain Baxter while talking to Edward about the Bluebell Railway. He says that they are friends, and both miss pulling trucks. Stepney goes on to describe him as a tough, rude engine who worked in a quarry, which gave him bad manners, and rough language.

Captain Baxter is currently under overhaul, and is due to be completed in August 2010.
