Toby is a steam tram who works on the Ffarquhar Branch Line.

Bio

He was built in 1914 and lived at Great Yarmouth Docks, Norfolk with his brothers, and later worked on an unnamed tramway line in East Angila. He took trucks from farms and factories but was later over-rided by lorries, but he never had an accident. After Thomas was cited for illegally travelling on the quarry tramway without cow-catchers and side-plates, he was brought to help on the Ffarquhar Branch in 1951.

Livery

He is painted NWR brown with blue side-plates, grey cowcatchers, and olive frames. He has a yellow '7' on his side with a red border. He previously was painted brown with grey cowcatchers and black side-plates saying GER/LNER on the BR logo.

Persona

Toby was old but hardworking and knew enough about running a branch line to justify running Thomas' with Thomas and Daisy after Percy's accident with the trucks. He is also savvy enough to control the trucks. However, his advanced age and design means that he is weaker than the other engines.

In Thomas the Slender Engine

Toby inhabits the Whistling Woods.
