The Red Engines

There have been at least two unnamed red tender engines featured in The Railway Series.

The First Red Tender Engine
    The First Red Tender Engine    The First Red Tender Engine lived at Tidmouth Sheds with Edward, Henry, Gordon, 98462 and 87546, it is unknown what happened to the engine afterwards, although he/she could have returned back to The Other Railway.
 * Configuration: 4-6-2

Persona
It's implied that the engine, along with the four other engines, liked to bully and tease Edward due to him being smaller and weaker than them.

Basis
The engine's basis is not known, with no outside cylinders or motion. It looks a cross between Gordon and Henry in his old shape with a 4-6-2 wheel arrangement. It's most likely based off the GWR 4-6-2 No.111 "The Great Bear".

Livery
The engine is painted in a red coat of paint, with yellow and black lining, he/she has red wheels and a black dome.

Trivia

 * The engine was originally drawn to be James, however, children wrote to Wilbert Awdry asking why James was red before he got painted in the third book. The reverend then decided that the engine was a different character altogether.
 * The engine's role in The Sad Story of Henry was replaced by Thomas when the story was adapted into the television series. Ironically, James took his/her role in The Adventure Begins.
