Biography

During Wilson, Brewster and Koko's first delivery outside of the Depot, a power cut occurred, causing Koko (an electric engine) to become stranded in the countryside. While Wilson took Koko back to the Depot, Brewster took the entire night shift delivery to Tootington all by himself- thankfully, he made it there safely. Soon after, Brewster became a runaway on the mountain after overloading with stone- subsequently being rescued by Wilson.

Dr. Ling later selected Brewster to be the first chugger to try out her latest invention- a speed booster. On his first run with it, it proved to be extremely faulty. Despite this, Brewster failed to tell Dr. Ling about said problems because of the fact that he was told that he would be receiving an award from the mayor of Tootington after his historically fast delivery. It wasn't until Hodge began speeding out of control with the booster that Brewster told Vee about the booster's faults.

Brewster would go on to join the Chuggineers, the building crew in Chuggington. After becoming stuck on the large crane while building the bridge connecting to Tootington's new high speed link, Brewster noticed that Zack had forgotten to weld one of the track sections; if Zack couldn't weld it in time, Tyne, who was drilling through the mountain, would plummet into the ravine. Thankfully, Zack was able to weld that track before Tyne broke through. Brewster's find led to the bridge being named after him.

Brewster later won the Rip Roaring Relay Race with Wilson, and with the help of Hodge, saved a ship coming into the Docks from running aground.

Personality

Brewster is young, inexperienced, generous, and eager to do work whenever he can. He takes criticism very well, and always uses it as a way to improve. He is always willing to help, and while he is teased for being slow, he doesn't mind it and focuses on his unique strengths. Brewster has shown to also be jealous towards other strong trainees, specifically Tai, but in the end, he knows that the most important thing is working together.

Technical Details

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.
