Meet Toby
Toby is a brown six-wheeled (0-6-0) steam tram engine with the number 7 painted on his sides. Toby first appeared in the 7th book in Reverend Wilbert Awdry’s The Railway Series, entitled ‘Toby the Tram Engine’ in 1952, and book No.32 Â ‘Toby, Trucks and Trouble’ is dedicated to him. Toby is partnered with his own coach, Henrietta.
All of the locomotives in The Railway Series are based on real historical engines; Toby is based on a J70 tram engine from the Great Eastern Railway (GER Class C53). His cowcatchers and wheel-guards allow him to run on roadside tramways, which other engines are not allowed to do for safety reasons.
