Wendell

Wendell is a work diesel

Bio
The Works Diesel rescued James after his injector failed, and managed to change James' opinion of diesels with his charismatic personality. He then brought the Christmas tree for Thomas from British Railways. In 1986, Donald mentioned that there are other diesels at the works. The Works Diesel was later seen talking to Gordon at Barrow-in-Furness in 1992. He was never named.

Personality
Although the Works Diesel never spoke, he is described as being friendly and is impossible to not like - even James, who retained a hearty dislike of diesels, could not help but befriend him before the two had even reached the Works.
