Toby, a tram engine with cowcatchers and sideplatescarries the North Western Railway running number seven and works on the same Ffarquhar Branch Line as Thomas the Tank Engine. Toby first appeared in the seventh book in The Railway SeriesToby the Tram Engine inand appeared in several subsequent books. Awdry's parish at Elsworth in Cambridgeshire in the same diocese. Awdry wrote about Toby the Tram Engine inshortly before he was transferred to Emneth parish. The Tramway ran from Wisbech, through Emneth — the next station on the line — then through Outwell and Upwell. This area and its line was well known to Rev. Awdry who often visited Ely nearby. The Tramway was primarily used for the transportation of fruit and other farm produce to the main line at Wisbech. Research by Awdry's brother, George, revealed that tramway regulations required the fitting of cowcatchers and sideplates for railway locomotives running on tracks alongside roads, and the story "Thomas in Trouble" published inthe year steam trams were replaced evolved to provide a reason for Toby being summoned to Sodor. Thomas & Friends: Toby come to see Toby, but they come Thomas & Friends: Toby bus The months passed. Toby had few trucks, and fewer passengers That day [Toby's last] Henrietta had more passengers than she could manage. They rode in the trucks and crowded in the brake van. This was a common occurrence during the closing of real railway lines; demand decreased to an unprofitable amount, but services were often full for the last workings of steam. On Awdry's model railway, [11] Toby was represented by a Y6, [12] an locomotive similar to but smaller than the J70 [13] [3] and better suited to the 4-wheel motor bogie available to power the model. Thomas & Friends: Toby Awdry has said that Toby is his favourite character, partly because he was there when his father received the inspiration to create him, but also because as a child he had travelled in the cab of two J70s. W, Awdry served as parish priest in two parishes in Cambridgeshire, the county associated with Toby the Tram Engine. First, he was Rector of Elsworth with Knapwell from tothen he was Vicar of Emneth from until when he retired from full-time ministry and moved Thomas & Friends: Toby Stroud, Gloucestershire. Toby is introduced in the 7th book in The Railway Series. The first story, "Toby and the Stout Gentleman", describes the closure of Toby's branch Thomas & Friends: Toby due to the lack of passengers and freight. Shortly before the line was to close, a "stout gentleman" arrived on a holiday with his family; the children rode on Toby every day for a fortnight and the stout gentleman gave Toby's crew a present. The day after the Tramway closed, ironically after an overcrowded final journey by Toby and Henrietta, a letter arrived from the stout gentleman which was to give Toby a reprieve. In "Thomas in Trouble", Thomas encounters an officious policeman, who says that, when running from the Thomas & Friends: Toby, along public roads, engines who have the right to go on public roads must be fitted with cowcatchers and sideplates for safety to prevent people and animals from getting killed if they should have the right to stray onto the line. In "Dirty Objects", James Thomas & Friends: Toby fun of Toby's "shabby" appearance. James later has an accident with tar wagons. Toby and Percy help to clear up the mess and Toby is rewarded with a new coat of paint. Toby suffers from having small water tanks, meaning he is unsuitable for long distance work. He has stopped at a water-crane to refill his tanks, when he is urged on to the next station by a new Signalman who didn't understand Toby's condition. Toby tries to hurry to the next station, but uses up Thomas & Friends: Toby water and runs out of steam, ending up marooned on the mainline far from the station. Toby is pushed by James to the station, where some boys misunderstand the situation and suggest that James was unable to pull the Express, and Toby was needed to double-head the train. Toby Thomas & Friends: Toby also associated with the coach Victoriawho forms the "vintage train" with Henrietta that takes workers to and from the quarry. Toby first appeared towards the end of the first season of the TV Thomas & Friends: Toby and is considered to be one of the central characters. Toby has his own song, of Thomas & Friends: Toby same name, which is based upon his theme composed by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell. Toby was originally depicted as a wise, brave and kind old engine, often giving advice to younger engines like Thomas,Percy and Mavis. Due to his experience and wisdom Toby rarely ever had accidents or derailments, and almost never got into trouble with the Thomas & Friends: Toby Controller. In recent seasons, Toby has been feeling more insecure with the world around him as he is an old engine, and is not on the same page as the younger engines, like Percy, who feel more rough and ready. However, he was not dropped entirely, being the focus of subsequent episodes in following series and appearing in the updated roll call. Compared to both Edward and Henry who were also droppedToby has had more consistent supporting roles than both of them. In the film Thomas and the Magic RailroadToby is first seen reminding the other engines that they must not let Diesel 10 push them around. Later, after Diesel 10 overhears Thomas and Percy's conversation about how Mr. Conductor travels to Sodor, Toby manages to stall Diesel 10 ringing his bell. Diesel 10 tries to attack Toby with his claw, but instead fails and brings a shed down by himself as well as his cronies. Colm Feore provided the voice of Toby in the film, portraying the character with old English dialect. The stationmaster had wanted to turn Thomas & Friends: Toby into a henhouse, but The Fat Controller agreed that "that would never do. Toby had wanted to take Henrietta, but the Fat Controller had said, "No! He wondered if Henrietta was lonely. Percy had promised to look after her; but Toby couldn't help worrying. Henrietta carries passengers and is used to bring quarry workers to and from work. Henrietta was the only named character not to be illustrated with a face in The Railway Series Thomas & Friends: Toby book 41 of the series, Thomas and Victoria. In this book, Henrietta is depicted with a small rectangular Thomas & Friends: Toby where a window on the end doors would be. It was the same colour as her cabin, like the other coaches. She even didn't have a visible face in the television series until the eighteenth season. Her face in this series is larger than in the Railway Seriesand it completely replaces the door on one end, as well as the immediately adjoining window on both sides. The face is also whitish-gray as are those of the engines and much of the rolling stock, as opposed to the same brown as her paintwork as she appears in the book. However, she has not yet appeared in any stories. According to the Rev. Awdry, she is based upon a Wisbech and Upwell Tramway luggage van and shares a shed with Henrietta. There are no surviving J70 trams; a replica, based Thomas & Friends: Toby the East Anglian Railway Museumis a diesel-hydraulic shunter with a metal casing over it. When this diesel was converted a replica Henrietta was built from scratch. The underframe was taken from an old box van, but the body was a complete new build. Toby and Henrietta can be seen Thomas & Friends: Toby on the Museum's Day out with Thomas events. The engine is a Drewry — Vulcan industrial diesel locomotive ''.
