The spiteful breakvan was a troublesome brakevan who took a dislike to Douglas and purposely delayed his trains until Donald bumped him violently to teach him a lesson.
After Donald ran into the Tidmouth signalbox, James was saddled with the breakvan, who continued his old tricks. Douglas, as a result, had to help James up Gordon's Hill, and subsequently crushed the breakvan into pieces. He was never rebuilt after that, and scrapped.
