The Elderly Brake Van is an old brake van who claims to have come from the Other Railway many years ago.
Biography
He once had a conversation with Diesel and the Troublesome Trucks about engines who were named after race horses. He mentioned engines like Lemberg and Pretty Polly, so it is likely that he was originally an LNER brake van.
