Meet Toby: Say hello to Toby the Tram Engine, number 7 on the Island of Sodor! Toby is easy to spot with his brown body and six small wheels, and he’s a very special kind of engine known as a tram engine. Equipped with cowcatchers and side plates, Toby is built to travel safely along Sodor’s branch lines, keeping passengers and cargo protected on every journey.
Toby is based on a real-life engine, the J70 from the Great Eastern Railway, giving him a unique charm that sets him apart from the other engines. He’s rarely seen without his faithful coach, Henrietta, and together they roll along the tracks on countless fun and memorable adventures.
Friendly, reliable, and always ready to help, Toby shows that you don’t have to be the fastest or the biggest engine to make a real difference on the railway. His heart, courage, and loyalty make him a beloved member of the Sodor family. 🚂✨
