A blue tank engine made an appearance in the book, The Monster Under the Shed. He was not named.

Biography

This engine was made up by James, and was said to always be ready to help. One night, a stationmaster asked him to get a coach that was left behind. The engine went to get it, but when the weather turned bad, he had to sleep in an old shed. Later, he woke up to a noise and when he opened his eyes, he saw fingers reaching for him from under the shed. He was chased out of the shed by a monster and never seen again, supposedly being eaten by the monster.
