Bio
Oliver was saved along with Isabel and Toad from scrap by Douglas. He was cocky at first, and thought he knew better than the other engine, but learnt sense after some ballast trucks pushed him down the turntable well. The trucks began teasing him, but they learned not to play tricks on him after he accidently pulled S.C.Ruffey apart. He now regulary works on the Little Western.
Basis
Oliver is based on a GWR 14xx 0-4-2T.
Persona
Despite his previous heroism and daring feats, Oliver is an engine who is willing to admit every day is a learning curve. Oliver has gumption, but is an obedient, sensible engine. He feels his responsibility on the railway deeply, is ever thankful for being aided in his escape from scrap by Douglas, and is a trustworthy, tenacious, plucky engine.
Livery
Oliver is painted in the GWR's green livery with yellow lining, black wheels and a brass GWR numberplate on his cab side.
