Brewster

**Brewster** is a British hybrid diesel. He is an advanced trainee and works with the Chuggineers. He is one of the main characters in the series.

## Personality

Brewster is young, inexperienced, generous, and eager to do work whenever he can. He takes criticism very well, and always uses it as a way to improve. He is always willing to help, and while he is teased for being slow, he doesn't mind it and focuses on his unique strengths. Brewster has shown to also be jealous towards other strong trainees, specifically Tai, but in the end, he knows that the most important thing is working together.

## Biography

Brewster is a trainee and is best friends with Wilson and Koko. He used to be taught by Dunbar, occasionally Calley, and briefly Skylar. Once, he was tasked to look after Hoot and Toot, only for them to run away and having Brewster chase after them. Another time, Dr. Ling had Brewster test out the Chuga-Sonic Speed Booster, which allowed him to make deliveries to Tootington in record time; however, the speed booster proved faulty, which led to Brewster saving Hodge from coming off the track after he used it.

Brewster later joined Fletch, Tyne, Zack, and eventually Rosa to become a Chuggineer to help with construction around Chuggington. During the building of the bridge linking Chuggington to the Tootington Tunnel, Brewster noticed that part of the track wasn’t welded- his find stopped Zack, Fletch, Wilson and Jackman from falling into a ravine. His heroism led to the bridge being named after him. Nowadays, Brewster only works with Zack occasionally, and spends most of his time doing odd jobs and hanging out with his friends.

## Basis

Brewster is based on the BR Class 23, nicknamed 'Baby Deltic'. He is also based on the BR Class 55, nicknamed 'Deltic', though being much smaller, having a Bo-Bo wheel arrangement. Brewster has only one cab, but real Class 23s have two cabs.
