47288 was a tank engine who worked with Donald and Douglas on the Caledonian Railway before the Donald left for the Island of Sodor, bringing Douglas with him.
Bio
When Donald and Douglas were at their sheds one night, they talked about their plan of escape. 47288 overheard and allowed Douglas to take his usual Wednesday night goods train down Gretna way as part of the plan. The plan was discussed with their drivers, who are also twins. Douglas took 47288's goods down the line that night. When he reached the last station, his crew painted over his numbers, and then he waited for Donald to come past. They traveled to Barrow-in-Furness, where Donald's crew painted over his numbers and the two made their way to Tidmouth.
