Bio
Toby was built by James Holden at GER's Stratford Works in Stratford, London, England in 1914 and originally lived at Great Yarmouth Docks, Norfolk with his brothers before working on an unnamed tramway. In 1951, Toby came to work at the quarry on Thomas' Branch Line after his old railway in East Anglia closed, as it was found to be illegal for Thomas to go on the quarry tramroad without sideplates or cowcatchers.

Persona
Toby is jovial, wise, hardworking and savvy enough to control the trucks. Due to his age and design, he is weaker than the other engines. Toby enjoys to listen to the birds in the birdhouse next to his shed.
