16 was a troublesome industrial saddletank engine, who works in the steelworks.
Bio[]
16 lived at a steelworks, with several other engines. He spent all day shunting trucks to a place called the "tip". Engines were not allowed to travel along the track on the tip itself, as it was not firm enough to take their weight. 16 thought he knew better, and often tried to pass the "DANGER" board without success.
One day, however, 16 took advantage of a damp day, and told the trucks to slid him past the warning notice. His fireman was told to reverse him, but before he could do so, the rails gave way beneath him and 16 landed on his side on the ground.
