William Hope, in my opinion is not a good voice actor. Toby is no exception, he sounds exactly the same as Edward, who sounds exactly the same as Whiff, who sounds exactly the same as Farmer McColl, you get the gist. But regardless, none of the voices he does are good, they all sound off, especially Toby. Sherman plays the young tank engines, Hope plays the older wisdom engines and Shale plays the arrogant ego heads. Why not save the cost and just eliminate the ones that no longer work I. Overall a pretty piss poor voice and just reminds us why Toby is a piss poor character in the CGI era. Look I give props to Small for actually attempting to making Toby sound different unlike Hope and I do like that unlike the US cast, the UK cast actually had variety between the books voices. And some voices Small does very well, especially Rheneas. I commend Small for giving it his all, but yeah not a great voice. Ok so two VAs in and two rather disappointing voices for our beloved tram engine, however with two remaining Im left a bit of a pickle, because in my opinion both of these VAs do a phenomenal job with Toby.
