In 2009, the series introduced Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. In August of 2021, Toad's scrap model was put on display at the Clearwater Weekend Event but only present in the 'V.I.P' area. Toad was faceless from 2009 to 2019 or early 2020. His happy face is now on a brake van model that shares the same basis as him at Drayton Manor since early 2020. Toad's model used to be on display in Canada at Nitrogen Studios. In the third series two models of Toad were built the second model was used for Toad's scrap livery appearance in the episode, Escape. Toad was custom built from a Tenmille Gauge 1 G130 GWR 16 ton brake van kit, with the roof trim removed and the side footsteps removed. Mills portrays Toad with a hoarse nasal effect. Since his return in 2014, Toad has been voiced by Joe Mills in both the British English and American English dubs of the series. Alec Baldwin portrayed Toad using a stereotypical butler's speech patterns, while Michael Brandon gave him the same accent as Oliver. Michael Angelis portrayed Toad with a simple British accent, while George Carlin based his Toad voice on Peter Lorre's vocals. Toad eventually returned in the eighteenth series and made regular appearances until Journey Beyond Sodor.

He reappeared in the twelfth series but was left absent again when the series moved from live-action model animation to Computer-Generated Imagery. As a result of the stories from the eighth to sixteenth series focusing primarily on the Steam Team, Toad was neglected and left absent along with many other characters from the eighth to the eleventh series.

Since his introduction, Toad appeared as a supporting character up until the seventh series. Unlike the Railway Series, where he became Douglas' brake van, he remained with Oliver throughout the television series. In The Railway Series, Toad's face was the same shade of grey as his bodywork, but in the television series, his face is a lighter shade of grey to match the other vehicles. In 1992, Toad was introduced in the third series of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, reprising many of his roles from The Railway Series. Toad is based on a Great Western Railway Diagram AA2 brake van. 1967 Toad as illustrated by Gunvor and Peter Edwards (1968)
