Bartholomew

Bartholomew was not actually created by James Paul, in fact in the late 80's a parody of Thomas and friends called "fast forward Thomas the tank engine" is ware Bartholomew was created but character never fleshed out. James later added Bartholomew on the simple idea that " I'd would be easier to make him over building an o scale model of Ryan" in a canceled episode only known as origins, it was revealed that Bartholomew started life the same as Thomas and had a dark blue livery along side the E2 prototype Timothy.
