-Bio: Toad is a happy, humble, and a ruthlessly polite brake van that works alongside Oliver, and on some occasions Douglas. He is always Optimistic and is loyal and well-mannered to every engine around them, mostly referring to them as "Mr." or "Miss", and when it comes to the trains he's on, he has a cunning streak and makes sure to keep the trucks in order in case they ever behave, and is always there for Oliver when he needs him most, and as he is also his best friend/confidant. On some occasions, Toad can enjoy some excitement whenever its around the corner, and is always pleased whenever he has his chance in the spotlight, but nevertheless, Toad is always proud of his work, and always makes sure to put the trucks in their place, and that all his trains run on time.

-Artist's Commentary: Okay I changed my mind, instead, we got one more rolling stock character for now, in this case, Toad the Brake Van. I just felt it wouldn't be complete if I didn't get all the well-known rolling stock, and Toad is one of them, and I really enjoyed drawing him in illustrator too. He really is such a likable character, and in the CGI Series, he definitely one of those characters that has been developed greatly since his reintroduction in 2014, unlike Oliver. I even give credit to Joe Mills for his voice work, and like Thomas with Annie & Clarabel, or Toby with Henrietta, Oliver wouldn't be anywhere with his trusty brake van Toad, and in my series, but only some occasions, he will be paired with Douglas like in the Railway Series novels, but in case Oliver is busy, so he is really used by both, even though, being a guy who loved the classic model series, I was more into the Oliver & Toad duo. There is no way I can never neglect him, like an other classic model characters, or even Awdry characters, which while I'm on that subject, are next character will be the one I promised yesterday.
