Toby the Tram Engine Class C53

The iconic steam tram basis for Toby - as seen in the Thomas the Tank Engine series.

---

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. Awdry and Christopher Awdry on a holiday at Yarmouth, hence Toby's origins.

They spent most of their career on the Wisbech and Upwell tramway pulling slow goods trains and, until 1927, passenger trains, though several were also assigned to the docks at Ipswich and Yarmouth. The first withdrawal came in 1942. Eventually, the sole survivor of this class was withdrawn from service and scrapped at Stratford Locomotive Works by 1955. They were replaced by BR Class 04s, Mavis' class.

This version of Toby features wood paneling instead of an anthropomorphic face - so there's a bit more realism added to your game! This is a passenger version - pulling 1 Tram Coach (basis for Henrietta).

I also added OPTIONAL steam effects, train sounds, and Toby's bell - requires Acc3ss Violation's Vehicle Effects mod.
