  • THIS THEORY IS NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
    That said if you wanted to write your own material based on this theory then go for it!
    It's a cursed world we live in. Today I contribute to the cursed nature of our existence by staining the good boy reputation of Toad the Brakevan. He did nothing to deserve this bless him, but it would all make perfect sense!
    Sorry for the nightmare fuel that is the thumbnail!

    There is a similar theory relating to the RWS version of Toad Stands By. Unlike in the TVS, Toad was a part of the train with which Oliver tore S.C.Ruffey in half in the RWS. So theoretically, Toad could've planned for S.C.Ruffey to be ripped in half by Oliver, but obviously Oliver would've never agreed so he had to think of a cover. It worked and Toad was put on the train by Oliver, just in case. But Toad wanted to be sure S.C.Ruffey gets his due, so when the other trucks put their brakes on, he did so too and that little bit of extra braking power is what killed S.C.Ruffey.

    We can have this work in the canon by having Toad tell the other brakevan in Twin Trouble to cause chaos, by claiming that Douglas is a brakevan killer and using that argument to convince the brakevan to harm Douglas. We can say that brakevan in the episode just saw an opportunity and used it.

    I’d like to expand to this theory:
    Maybe toad learned that Donald and Douglas were prone to falling out so he decided to take his plan one step further. (This takes place during the episode love me tender) Before Douglas leaves with Donald, toad tells the Scottish engine that his tender was loose and offers to tighten it. Douglas agrees, and tells his driver to tighten the coupling. Toad tricks Douglas’s driver into loosening it, and the episode happens as normal.

    I think that this is true, somewhat.
    This DID happen on Sodor, but it was probably some other brakevan who basically lost his mind over time. Toad had mixed feelings on the Spiteful Brakevan, but at the same time it kinda had it coming, it was an L.N.E.R brakevan ( this could be a rivalry thing, or maybe… something about races? ) and well, something. I don’t know.
