Biography[]
Persona[]
Toad is a polite, gentlemanly brake van. He is also somewhat imaginative and a bit of an optimist. Toad minds his manners well and always quick to refer to the engines as "Mr.", "Miss", or "Sir". He escaped from scrap with Oliver, with some help from Douglas. Toad is very loyal, keeps Oliver's trucks in order, and has his best interests at heart. He has a cunning streak within him should the trucks cause any particular bother and does like fun when it comes his way, but he is typically calm, obedient and content in his work.
Livery[]
Toad is painted in the Great Western Railway brake van livery; dark grey with the letters "G W" written on his top sides, with 'ARLESBURGH' in-between, his number "56831" written on his bottom left side panels, and his weight "25 tons" written on his bottom right side panels, all in white.
Trivia[]
- Toad's name originates from a nickname ("Railway toad") given to brake vans on the Great Western Railway.
