Oliver

Oliver is a green tank engine who works on the Little Western.

Biography
Oliver had been repeatedly telling everyone about his "escape" from the scrapyard, even to the point of annoying Toad. After his brake van had an adventure without him, James told Oliver to listen to Toad's story for once. During a flood, he collided with Rocky and James who were rescuing Duck, who had stalled underwater. He also nearly collided with Duck after the latter ran a red signal by mistake. Later, he broke down whilst on his way to the docks to deliver some trucks. When Gator arrived to take the train, Oliver was surprised by his unusual shape and wondered where Gator's lamp was, unaware it was not working properly. Later, he began to get fed up of Toad singing during their journeys. Later Toad told Oliver that he saw a whale and he did not believe him at first until he saw the whale for himself. He then helped with rescuing the whale. When the Harwick Branch Line was being built, Oliver helped with the construction. Marion believed that he had made a wish to turn himself into a conscrution vehicle, and the Arlesdale engines had granted his wish. It was not until the branch line's opening ceremony that Marion discovered there were in fact two Olivers. When a storm struck the Island, Oliver and Duck were responsible for taking people safely home. At Arlesburgh, they met Skiff and warned him to get to safety, upsetting the rail boat. When the jobs were done, Oliver picked up Toad and headed for home, however they, along with Duck, were unaware that a lightning strike had caused a tree to fall on the line. Thankfully, Skiff, who had been blown away by the storm, was able to warn them just in time. Oliver proclaimed him the bravest rail boat he had ever known. Another time, he found Judy And Jerome in Arlesburgh Harbour. He agreed to take the two to the countryside, where they were moved again, which he later informed Ryan of.

One night, the yard was full, forcing Oliver and Toad to share a birth. With his chatiness, coupled with Duck's snoring, he didn't get a wink of sleep, and spent a few days at the Quarry, where he ended up, catching up on it. He later met Wilbert at Brendham Docks.

Personality
Despite his heroism and daring feats of escape, Oliver is a humble, settled engine who is wary of trucks. But later, with some help from his brake van Toad, he did gain much respect and authority among the trucks when he showed his strength with the ringleader of the trucks. Oliver still has gumption, but is now a more obedient, sensible engine. He is a trustworthy, tenacious, plucky engine. However, he can still be occasionally boastful, or temperamental; but despite this setback, Oliver is still one of the more really useful and well-behaved engines on Sodor.
