Toby

Toby is a wise tram engine who sleeps at Ffarquhar sheds. He is one of the oldest engines on the NWR fleet.

Biography
Toby used to work on the East Angela on a small tramway with his faithful coach Henrietta and a luggage van Elsie. Soon lorries and buses were invented, and began being used for more goods and services. This led to less and less jobs for Toby, and eventually the shutdown of his tramway. Luckily, he, Henrietta and Elsie were bought by Sir Topham Hatt for his North Western Railway, where he works now. Toby helped the young Daisy and Mavis mature over the years, and when a vintage coach named Victoria was found and restored, she joined Toby, Henrietta and Elsie. When the Horrid Lorries arrived to Sodor, Toby found out that Lorries 2 and 3 took over his work at the quarry and mill. However, after all of the three Horrid Lorries had accident, Toby threw Lorry 2's remarks about usefulness back at him. After many weeks of rain, flood broke and carried away the bridge Toby was on, but he was saved by Percy and Harold. Once, the Fat Controller used Toby for his search of a castle. Eventually, they found Bertram, an old narrow gauge engine nicknamed Old Warrior. When he was supposed to take some scrap to Reg at Wellsworth Scrapyard, he ran out of coal, and rumours began to spread that Toby's going to be scrapped. Later, Henrietta was getting her seats refurbished, he was given a replacement coach named Hannah. After he almost crashed with her due to Hannah's love to speed, Toby left Hannah at a siding where James found her. However, Hannah wasn't build to go fast, and Toby had to take to the works.

Basis
Toby is based on a GER Class C53 0-6-0T Wisbech steam tram.
