Bio
Bradford was brought to Sodor by Samson, and when he noticed Thomas struggling with his troublesome trucks, Bradford offered to be his breakvan for the day. Once coupled up, Bradford quickly took charge of the trucks and barked at them to behave.

Thomas decided to take a train without Bradford, but ended up running into trouble. Bradford eventually went back to the mainland with Samson.
