Formerly known as "G.B. Keeling", Wilbert is a smart blue saddle-tank engine with six wheels. His own line on the Dean Forest Railway was short, so he was delighted to help out Donald and Douglas on the branch lines. Wilbert is sensible and polite and does his best to work well. He is also clever and inventive, as seen when he suggested that signal-wire might be used to act as a coupling for a truck. He's a very hard worker and a nature lover. When he wants a rest, he goes deep into the forest.
Wilbert is based on the Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST and is one of the 70 examples preserved.
