Toby's Shed is a small wooden shed located at Arlesdale End on Toby's Branch Line.

History

The shed is located at Arlesdale End, and Toby used to sleep here until the line closed down. Toby later moved back to the shed around the third series, when his branch line was reopened.

The roof of the shed was later rebuilt as it had a lot of holes in it. The old wood from the roof was recycled to build a birdhouse next to the shed.
