Oliver

Oliver, NWR No. 11, is a GWR 14xx tank engine on the North Western Railway. He arrived on Sodor in 1967 after escaping from scrap, being rescued by Douglas. He works on the Arlesburgh Branch Line alongside Duck and Donald and Douglas. He has two Great Western autocoaches named Isabel and Dulcie, and a Great Western brakevan named Toad, who he shares with Douglas.

Basis
Oliver is a GWR 14xx tank engine built in 1934. In fact, he's specifically based on No. 1436 (since this was his own number before), an engine that was scrapped in 1959.

Livery
When Oliver worked on the GWR, he was painted in GWR green livery. Sometime before 1967, Oliver was repainted in BR green livery. Upon arrival on Sodor, Oliver was repainted back into GWR green with the number "11" on him and the words "GWR".
