- "Honking horns!"
- ā Brewster's catchphrase
Brewster is a British hybrid diesel. He is an advanced trainee and works with the Chuggineers. He is one of the main characters in the series.
Persona
Brewster is a young trainee who always likes to make sure everything is working okay, by always saying "Check". This can slow him down, but he is strong, capable and reliable!
Basis
Brewster is based on the BR Class 23 Steel Mill logistics locomotive. He is also based on the BR Class 55, nicknamed 'Deltic', though being much smaller, having a Bo-Bo wheel arrangement. Brewster has only one cab, but real Class 23s have two cabs.
When modified for work as a Chuggineer, he gains hazard stripes above his wheels and his horn is switched out. It is a singular golden horn by default, but as a Chuggineer is replaced by a silver set of three horns. The gold one is also circular in shape, while the silver ones are square.
