Toby is based on a GER Class C53 0-6-0T Wisbech steam tram (reclassified as J70 by the LNER) built at Stratford Works. They were seen by the Rev. W.

Between the first and fifth series, Toby's wheels were painted red. Starting from the sixth series, they were painted black. In various books released by Publications International, the top side of his side plates are painted red, going along with his buffer beams.

The sound is also Hiro's whistle, but seventeen steps higher-pitched. In t...
