16 was a troublesome industrial saddletank engine who once worked at a steelworks on the mainland.
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 damp conditions, and told the trucks to slide him past the warning notice. His fireman was told to reverse him, but before he could do so, the rails gave way and 16 tipped over onto the ground. He was eventually rescued but not repaired, and sent to the sheds in disgrace where he remained in storage.
According to Wilbert, 16 "got better than he deserved" and was bought by a preservation society in the Midlands, and now works on their railway. Wilbert later told 16's story to Thomas and Toby, while he was visiting Sodor.

- 16's custom model was created by Turtlesandthomas using a Wooden Railway Wilbert and the Ertl 16 face. However, at the end of Cab Over Wheels, his smiling face before the credits was reused from Wilbert.
