Is Toad the Brakevan evil? | A novelty Thomas Theory

THIS THEORY IS NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
That said if you wanted to write your own material based on this theory then go for it!
It's a cursed world we live in. Today I contribute to the cursed nature of our existence by staining the good boy reputation of Toad the Brakevan. He did nothing to deserve this bless him, but it would all make perfect sense!
Sorry for the nightmare fuel that is the thumbnail!

There is a similar theory relating to the RWS version of Toad Stands By. Unlike in the TVS, Toad was a part of the train with which Oliver tore S.C.Ruffey in half in the RWS. So theoretically, Toad could've planned for S.C.Ruffey to be ripped in half by Oliver, but obviously Oliver would've never agreed so he had to think of a cover. It worked and Toad was put on the train by Oliver, just in case. But Toad wanted to be sure S.C.Ruffey gets his due, so when the other trucks put their brakes on, he did so too and that little bit of extra braking power is what killed S.C.Ruffey.

[@mechanicalshed4556]

Regardless of whether Toad has it in for the engines or not, I genuinely believe he wanted Scruffey in pieces xD

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

We can have this work in the canon by having Toad tell the other brakevan in Twin Trouble to cause chaos, by claiming that Douglas is a brakevan killer and using that argument to convince the brakevan to harm Douglas. We can say that brakevan in the episode just saw an opportunity and used it.

[@mechanicalshed4556]

Right, retconning the retcon because this makes Toad feel more evil! (must remember to add this and credit you when I do a recap for the eventual Part 2, if I may of course!)

@@mechanicalshed4556 Ah, I see! I was thinking it could possibly play into that episode of the Brenner Era with James and Toad, and maybe Toad gets James into an accident or something, or even make an original story entirely, I'd be down to see it!

I've kept the Brenner stuff in mind for sure, Toad really shone in those years! I do consider CGI series it's own thing though so it's more likely going to be it's own story going forward. Plus if anyone wants to come up with ideas how things go from here I'm keeping my eyes peeled :)

I’ve got a plan mister Douglas….

[@Thetrainbloke]

I’d like to expand to this theory: Maybe toad learned that Donald and Douglas were prone to falling out so he decided to take his plan one step further. (This takes place during the episode love me tender) Before Douglas leaves with Donald, toad tells the Scottish engine that his tender was loose and offers to tighten it. Douglas agrees, and tells his driver to tighten the coupling. Toad tricks Douglas’s driver into loosening it, and the episode happens as normal. The thumbnail scared the Jesus out of me btw

[@mechanicalshed4556]

I like the theory! That thumbnail scared me too xD

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

Absolutely daft, but that's half the fun of these sorts of theories. I do think Toad recognized that Scruffy might get ripped apart, though. I mean, he was obviously in terrible shape.

[@AbbeyYard]

"Rotten wood, rusty frames. Unserviceable before it came."

[@oliverweitkemper9679]

I can easily see a heartfelt episode coming with toad and the trucks leading Douglas into a serious accident, where toad admits his motivations, and completely rips into Douglas before eventually the twins and the break van get together in harmony.

[@theflyingkipper42]

In fact, it's a great idea for AU or something like that.

[@sdmedia1323]

I think that this is true, somewhat. This DID happen on Sodor, but it was probably some other brakevan who basically lost his mind over time. Toad had mixed feelings on the Spiteful Brakevan, but at the same time it kinda had it coming, it was an L.N.E.R brakevan ( this could be a rivalry thing, or maybe… something about races? ) and well, something. I don’t know.

Absolutely not we all saw how bad the spiteful break van got smashed we even saw his face separated from the rest of his body in the television episode plus in the RWS he is a NE 20- ton break van and in the TVS he is a BR 20- ton break van where as Toad as we all know is a GWR Toad break van so logical there's no way they're the same break van because the spiteful breakvan would be dead

[@jeremiahsisaias8677]

Ive always had this theory about Douglas and Toad in the ending of "Little Western" that when that Douglas wanted to keep Toad as his brakevan before Oliver kept him to himself in future stories Ive always thought that Douglas wanted to keep Toad forever to himself without sharing with Oliver since he sees him more polite and charming than the spiteful one that he killed.
