Bradford

Bradford is a brake van who lives on the Mainland. He works with Samson.

Personality
Bradford is an officious and strict brake van who adheres to every railway rule, no matter how minor the rule might be. Although he means well and does his best to keep the trucks in order, his overzealous attitude makes his trains commonly run very late. Because of this, the engines find him annoying. He is also quite conceited, as he claimed he knew how much the engines "appreciated" him.

Basis
Bradford is based on an LMS 20 ton brake van. Various faceless brake vans share this basis.
