Willow

Willow is a pannier tank engine from the Great Western Railway

Appearance
Willow is based on the Great Western Railway pannier 57xx class. She's painted dark green with black wheels and the number 5701 on her cab and bufferbeams.

Personality
She is described as a bubbly and friendly tank engine, but sometimes insecure and doubtful of herself. She likes plants, and gets frustrated if she messes up, or when diesels make fun of her, calling her "Half-An-Engine Willow".

Bio
Not much is known about Willow's backstory, apart from she worked with freight a lot near the Lickey Incline. She stopped pulling frieght in the early 1930s when her brother had a terrible accident while she was pushing his freight train. And after the grouping of British Railways she landed on the branch line she resides on today. She's an odd job engine, usually working in the Lowfell shunting yard, or taking the odd train along the mainline. When Joe's actions to keep the branchline open caused an accident Willow tracked him down and helped him get his self confidence back. In mid 1964 Willow faced her fears by taking a goods train with Eddie. Unfortunatley they lost control coming down the hill and Eddie would crash into Amanda's brake van

Trivia
