**Toad** is a character in *DTBEN10's Thomas and Friends Series.* He is Oliver's breakvan.

## Personality

Toad is a polite, gentlemanly brake van. He is also somewhat imaginative and a bit of an optimist. Toad minds his manners well and is always quick to refer to the engines as "Mr.", "Miss" or "Sir". He escaped from scrap with Oliver, with some help from Douglas (and Molly a few years later). Toad is very loyal, keeps Oliver's trucks in order and has his best interests at heart. He has a cunning streak within him should the trucks cause any particular bother and does like fun when it comes his way, but he is typically calm, obedient and content in his work.

## Appearances

### Season 4

#### "Saved From Scrap"

In a flashback, Oliver and Toad are leaving Sodor. Many of the engines were there to see them go. Oliver says his goodbyes and he and Toad soon leave.

Toad is seen in the scrapyard on the mainland with Oliver. Molly was arriving with a goods train. She hears his voice and Oliver explains he used to live on Sodor. Molly asks if he did live on Sodor, then how did he get to the scrapyard. She explains she helped two old friends escape and that Oliver and Toad must have come recently. Oliver explains they were saved by Douglas a long time ago. He was taken to Sodor and lived there for many years. One day, he got offered a job at a new railway and he took it and took Toad with him. He lived there for many years but eventually diesels started taking over and he was not useful anymore. He was taken to the scrapyard and thrown into the siding a few weeks ago. Molly decides to save Oliver, much to his delight. Then Splatter and Dodge show up.

The two diesels were going to get Rosie and Duke back but decided Molly and Oliver could take their place. Molly and Oliver bump Splatter and Dodge out of the way and try to make a run for it. The two diesels catch up and try to drag them and Toad back, but Molly pushes Dodge into fuel tankers, causing him to get blown up in the process. Splatter leaves the scene after that. Both were amazed at Molly's performance and they soon leave for Sodor.

#### ''Healing''

Oliver, Toad and Molly arrive to the station where Sir Topham Hatt lV was. Molly explains about Oliver who Sir Topham Hatt lV remembers. He welcomes him back with open arms. Duck and Douglas soon show up. Duck questions why they were called but soon sees Oliver and wonders how he got there. Oliver explains they were in the scrapyards again and Molly saved him. Douglas had to leave. He says his goodbyes and heads off to his shed. Oliver asks where Donald is. Duck knew he had a lot of explaining to do.

#### "To Kingdom Come"

Toad was present at the station for Sodor Day. He was talking with Connor and they both thought the sign for Sodor Day was nice.

However, Bill and Ben come in very fast, with their train. Bill runs into the fuel tankers causing a big explosion.

#### ''What Comes After''

Douglas checks on Oliver and Toad after the incident. Both were derailed. Toad says he is fine but Oliver was knocked out.

Later On, Oliver wakes up and he, Toad and Connor were re-railed by Percy and the breakdown train. Percy was still worried about Thomas but Oliver tries to reassure him that they will find him. Percy explains the tragic news to Oliver about Duck's death, due to him being crushed by Knapford Station's roof. Oliver was horrified but simply tells Percy to go help the others.

#### ''Ghosts''

Toad was seen with the engines as Percy tells them they need to find Thomas and Molly, dead or alive.

#### ''A New Beginning''

Oliver and Toad were talking to Henry in a shed. Henry was beginning to think the island was cursed. Loads of engines have died. Oliver tries to tell him that the island was not cursed. Everything was a bunch of freak accidents. Henry explains most of the deaths were at the hands of Diesel 10. Oliver explains that they could not change to past and that's a fact. They were just going to have to live with it... forever.

The next day, after Thomas peacefully died at the works, Toad was present behind Oliver for his, Gordon, Duck and Bill's funeral.
