Oliver is a wise old excavator who works for the Sodor Construction Company.
Bio
Oliver was first seen clearing room for railway lines at a quarry. The foreman called him to move some rock, but Jack wanted to move it himself, causing him to topple over on a hill. Jack learned from this, and allowed Oliver to do his jobs. A while later, he was digging foundations when he discovered some dinosaur bones, and appeared on the front page of Sodor Times.
Persona
Oliver is wise and kind and keeps an eye on the other members of the Pack. He is good-mannered and hard-working and never complains about his work or gets impatient. He has the power and precision capability of moving and digging tons of earth in a single day. Because of this, he can always be relied upon by Miss Jenny as a team leader.
Livery
Oliver is painted brown with a pale green panel on his back and the number "14" painted on his sides in red. He has the cap rim of a builder's hat between his forehead and cab windows.
