Bio in the Woodhead line series
Wilson was built in Derby in 1928 and spent most of his working life at Porthmadog until being sold privately to a colliery in Rotherham in the 1950's. The colliery went bankrupt in the late 1960's and the worn out engine was abandoned in a disused yard in Sheffield as the owners considered it cheaper than paying to transport him to the scrapyard.

He remained unnoticed until 1984, when Dave was accidentally redirected into the overgrown yard with his passenger train. Wilson insisted that the diesel bring him back to the mainline where he met Mr Salmon. He was shortly thereafter restored to working order and assigned as Sheffield Victoria's station pilot, thus relieving Dave of that duty. One of his first duties was to assist in tidying up the yard for use by the Woodhead line.

Persona
Wilson is an exceptionally blunt and grumpy engine who prefers to be left alone. He finds all the other engines on the line irritating and shed's separately or simply stays up all night continuing his work. He is however an excellent shunter and surprisingly powerful for his size. He speaks with a strong Welsh accent.
