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.

Personality

Brewster is a young trainee who always likes to make sure everything is working okay. He is also one to go slow at work, and as a result a subject of teasing from Koko and Wilson but this also makes him a reliable worker and all the same he is as strong as any older Chugger, the most knowledgable of the trainees and an idol for Zephie. Being the strongest of the trio, Brewster was placed with the Chuggineers during Advanced Training, and later joined them to help run the Crotoonian Construction Company.

Basis

Brewster is based on a BR Class 55, modified with two-axle trucks and minus the rear cab, which has been replaced with a yellow end with corridor connection.

Trivia

• Zephie idolises him, as seen in Brewster's Little Helper
• He seems to admire Action Chugger.
• Brewster is called Bastian in the German version, Rotem (רותם) in Hebrew, and Bruno in Latin America, Brazil, Poland, France and Italy.
• Brewster's cathphrase is "Honking horns". In German, he says "Ach du dicke Lok", which literally means "Oh you fat engine". In Polish he says "Na świst pary", which means "On the whizz of steam", a cathphrase he shares with Old Puffer Pete.
• In the pre-production photo of his Bachmann model, his bogies are coloured grey.
• In his Interactive, Wooden, and Motorised models, his windows are coloured sky-blue, and in the Die-Cast range, they were originally the same colour as himself.
• He is the most focused and most knowledgeable, as evidenced in Brewster Knows Best.
• His hobby is "people spotting", i.e. spotting humans do things that he has not seen them do before.
• Brewster is the only chugger to have a landmark named after him, named Brewster Bridge.
• He is the only trainee who's power source is diesel only, as Wilson, Hoot and Toot are diesel-electric, Piper is a steam engine, and Koko is fully electric.
