List of Thomas & Friends railway engines

This article is about standard engines. For the narrow gauge engines, see List of Thomas & Friends narrow gauge engines.

This article lists the standard gauge railway engines and other standard gauge characters of the television series Thomas & Friends. These are the characters that run on The Fat Controller's railway - the North Western.

Major characters (The Steam Team)

The "Steam Team" is introduced in Season 8. It is the name given to the group of core characters on The Fat Controller's (Sir Topham Hatt's) railway as featured in the later seasons: Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby and Emily. There is no such corresponding group in The Railway Series books although a similar group (adding Duck but not including Emily) appears in the book The Eight Famous Engines.

Thomas

Thomas first appeared in The Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry. He is a blue 0-6-0 tank engine.

Thomas's character changes from time to time, from cheeky to wise. He is portrayed as proud to run his own branch line and fond of the coaches, Annie and Clarabel. He has the number 1 painted on both his side tanks.

Voice Actors

Edward

Edward is the first character to appear in The Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry. Edward is the oldest engine on The Fat Controller's Railway and is part of the central group of characters in the television series. He is a blue 4-4-0 tender engine with red stripes and the number 2 on his tender.

Edward is presented as kind, sensible and wise, with other engines indebted to his knowledge and skills.

Voice Actors

Henry

Henry is one of the first engines to appear in The Railway Series books. He is engine number 3 on the railway and is painted green with red stripes. In Season 1, Henry looks much like Gordon and often suffered from boiler trouble due to design flaws and so he needs special Welsh coal to operate properly. He then has an accident when pulling The Flying Kipper caused by ice and snow, after which he undergoes extensive reconstruction, giving him a new shape. Henry often takes goods trains or the express when Gordon is away.[1]

Henry is sometimes pompous, sensitive, moody and depressed, but he is very intelligent. Henry has had a more consistent character trait added, being portrayed as having an admiration for nature, particularly trees. Henry also works at night, taking loads of fish on the Flying Kipper throughout Sodor.


Voice Actors

Gordon

Main article: Gordon the Big Engine

Gordon is the second engine to appear in The Railway Series. He is locomotive number 4, a 4-6-2 tender engine, painted blue with red stripes.

Gordon is one of the strongest engines on the Fat Controller's Railway and always views himself as the most important engine, mostly because of his size and strength, and that his main task is to pull the Express. At times, this leads to him feeling superior. However, he usually learns his lesson, realizing that all engines have their place in the team.[1] Since Gordon has a big coalbox, he has more than 5 refills daily, which makes other engines grumble.

Voice Actors

James

Main article: James the Red Engine

James is a tender engine, numbered 5 and coloured red with black and gold stripes and gold dome (black with red stripes in The Adventure Begins). He is a 2-6-0 mixed-traffic engine, which means he can pull coaches and trucks equally well.

While James is one of "the big engines" (a trio with Gordon and Henry), he is certainly the most junior member of this clique, often resulting in him getting "too big for his boots". He often brags about his red paint, as though this makes him superior to other engines, a notion which is usually dispelled quickly enough.[1]

Voice Actors

Percy

Percy is a green 0-4-0 saddle tank engine with red stripes, with the number 6.

He is the youngest engine of the whole fleet. He is quite cheeky, often looking to trick or tease other engines, sometimes getting him into trouble. Percy does, however, have utmost respect when it is needed, referring to The Fat Controller as "Sir" every few words when addressing him.[1] Although he is considered the smallest in the fleet, Percy proves at times to have the biggest heart and an undying will to learn new things.

Voice Actors

Toby

Main article: Toby the Tram Engine

Toby is a tram engine who works on the same branch line as Thomas. He has a cowcatcher, and side plates covering his wheels. His main job is taking stone wagons to and from the quarry with his coach Henrietta, but he also helps with other jobs. He is painted brown with grey sideplates, and is engine number 7.

Toby is old and wise, and is always willing to share his experience and knowledge with other engines. He is careful in everything he does, which means he very rarely has any accidents.[1]

Voice Actors

Emily

Emily is a "Stirling Single" engine. She is painted dark green with gold stripes. She speaks with a Scottish accent.

As the most recent addition to the fleet, Emily has to learn many things on Sodor. She causes Thomas to be upset when she accidentally "steals" Annie and Clarabel upon her arrival, but after saving Oliver from an accident, she is rewarded with a pair of coaches of her own.[1] She acts as a sisterly figure to the other engines, and though she can be quite bossy at times like the other "big engines", she is much nicer than she lets on.

Voice Actors

Recurring characters (steam engines)

Duck

Duck is a strong tank engine in The Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry, as well as in the television series. Although his real name is Montague, he is known by the nickname "Duck". He is a green pannier tank engine, with the number 8, and works efficiently as part of The Fat Controller's fleet. He runs his own branch line with Oliver.

Duck holds great pride in being Great Western, and this results in him having a strong work ethic. This can, however, be a cause for friction with his colleagues, when he insists that his way ("the Great Western way") is the only right way to do things, but other engines understand this, and by and large give Duck their full respect.

Voice Actors

Donald and Douglas

Main article: Donald and Douglas

Donald and Douglas are twin Scottish 0-6-0 tender engines featured in both the television series and the Railway Series books. They came together from Scotland and, although The Fat Controller was only expecting one engine, he decided to keep both engines in his fleet, giving them the numbers 9 (Donald) and 10 (Douglas) respectively, as well as nameplates. They are painted black, and have red name-plates with gold writing.

If not for coming to Sodor, Donald and Douglas, would surely be scrapped. Because of this, they are grateful to have a home and are somberwhen it comes to the topic of scrapping.

Voice Actors

Donald:

Douglas:

Oliver

Oliver is a 0-4-2 tank locomotive, introduced in Season 3, being saved from scrap by Douglas, along with his brakevan, Toad.

On arrival at Sodor, Oliver is restored, painted green, and given the number 11. He works with Duck on Duck's branch line, The Little Western.

Voice Actors

Bill and Ben

For more details on Bill and Ben, see Major characters in The Railway Series § Bill & Ben.

Bill and Ben are twin tank engines who work for the Sodor China Clay Company. They are painted amber with red lining, have four black wheels (later red) each and have their names attached to their sides on brown nameplates. Apart from their nameplates, they are identical which can be confusing to engines who do not know them well. They are smaller than the other engines they work with. They have "SCC" (initials for "Sodor China Clay") written on both sides and "Brendam Bay" on the front above their faces.

They are young and cheeky and love playing jokes on the big engines, but are kept in order by Edward and BoCo (and, since season six, Mavis, Fergus or other engines). They work in the china clay quarry and at Brendam Docks, where they are kept busy shunting trucks. The Fat Controller sometimes allows them to carry out special jobs, like taking BoCo's heavy goods train and running 'Brake Van Specials' for visitors, who sometimes come to the quarries to see the twins.

Bill and Ben are unusually low, allowing them to fit under bridges that taller engines could not. The real examples are both preserved at the Bodmin and Wenford Railway.

Bill & Ben were introduced in Season 2 and have since appeared in seasons 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 (In season 12, Ben appeared without Bill.), 17, 18 and 19, and The Great Discovery. Bill and Ben also have supporting roles in Tale of the Brave, Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure and a minor role The Great Race.

Voice Actors

Bill:

Ben:

Harvey

Harvey the crane engine is involved in repair and recovery jobs on The Fat Controller's railway.[1] His queer-looking crane arm, which bears the number 27, gained some negative attention from the other engines at first. After clearing an accident and impressing the railway board, Harvey gained the others' admiration.[2] Harvey quickly became a fixture of the breakdown crew, pulling the railway's cranes and work coaches.[3][4][5][6] Recently, a large rolling crane called Rocky was brought to Sodor. When a job is too large for Harvey, Rocky can be brought in to do the job quickly. Both now share duties in the breakdown crew.[7]

Harvey has been known to stay at Knapford Sheds with Salty and Murdoch. Harvey was hurt when Murdoch snapped at them for being chatty, but he soon came to appreciate their company.[8]

Harvey is painted burgundy with gold lining, and has large, square wooden buffers.

Harvey was introduced in season 6, and has appeared in seasons 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17 18 and 20. He also appeared in Calling All Engines and The Great Discovery.

Voice Actors

Fergus

Fergus is a royal blue railway traction engine with red wheels. He is known as "The Pride of the Cement Works," for his years of work at the Sodor Cement Works.[9] Fergus is mindful of rules and regulations, and often snaps at others, "Do it right!"

Some engines become indignant to his authority. When Fergus was sent to the quarry, he scorned Bill and Ben's carelessness, and they decided to disobey him deliberately. They accidentally caused a rock slide, and Fergus was buried while forcing them clear. Bill and Ben thankfully worked hard to free him and clean up the mess.[9][10] Diesel's apathy for regulations created a mess at the Cement Works. When Fergus tried to correct him, Diesel made up an order from The Fat Controller to work at the smelters in an attempt to get him scrapped. Fergus was so frightened of the smelters that he and his driver ran away. The Fat Controller sent Thomas to find Fergus and sort out the matter, and Fergus was soon back to work at the Cement Works.[9]

His flywheel can be hooked up to machinery. Once during a storm, a lighthouse's generator broke. Salty had been guiding Fergus and his driver down the line, and suggested using Fergus's flywheel to power the generator until dawn. This act saved a cargo ship from disaster.[9][11]

Fergus has appeared in only 3 episodes in Season 7.

Voice Actors

Arthur

Arthur is a maroon tank engine with gold stripes. The Fat Controller brought him to the railway for his spotless record.

Arthur had something of a rocky friendship with Thomas from the start. When he arrived on the railway with his record intact, Arthur did not want to be forceful with the trucks like Thomas or Percy. Thomas decided to trick Arthur, telling him The Fat Controller did not want the trucks to sing. The trucks sang all through Arthur's journey, and he became angry and rough with the trucks, leading to an accident with Duck. Thomas confessed to causing the accident, and he and Arthur decided to mend their friendship.[5]

Arthur hoped to have his own branch line when Thomas was assigned to the fishing village run. For taking over Thomas's train after an accident, The Fat Controller offered Arthur the line for himself.[12] Thomas had to work at the fishing village again, but was determined to get away from the smell of fish quickly. He ignored Arthur's advice to take five trucks at a time and had an accident, making the job last longer.[13]

Arthur is an LMS Ivatt Class 2 2-6-2T tank engine designed for use on the London Midland & Scottish Railway. He retains the "LMS" lettering on his tanks.

Arthur first appeared in season 7, and appeared in seasons 8, 11, and 12. He also appeared in The Great Discovery.

Voice Actors

Murdoch

Murdoch is a large and strong orange tender engine. He is the biggest engine on Sodor and somewhat shy,[14] and prefers the quiet countryside to the constant noise of industry.[8]

When he was brought in to help with goods work, Murdoch was annoyed with all the noise around him and rudely dismissed anyone who tried to talk to him. When he finally reached the country, his quiet was interrupted by a stray flock of sheep. After the noise of that event, he was glad to share a shed with Salty and Harvey.[8] When the engines were decorated for May Day, Murdoch was bashful about appearing dressed up.[14] He is later seen laughing at Emily being with Whiff. When Emily got stuck in mud another time, Murdoch helped pull her out. He also helped shunt Rocky when Thomas and Stanley went recollecting lost stones for the Sodor River Bridge.

Murdoch often hauls heavy loads[15] and equipment, like Rocky the crane.[16]

Murdoch first appeared in season 7 and has appeared in seasons 8, 11 and 12.

Voice Actors

Molly

Molly is a yellow engine with four large driving wheels. Molly was sensitive when she arrived to the railway, and disappointed with the job of pulling empty trucks. Thomas tried to make her feel important by decorating the empties and telling the engines she had an important job. This backfired when a tarpaulin flew off, and the trucks were seen empty. Molly learned the importance of her job, however, when the engines at the coal depot needed her empty trucks for their trains.[17]

Molly first appeared in season 9 and has appeared in Seasons 10 and 11. She also appeared in The Great Discovery.

Voice Actors

Neville

Neville is a black tender engine with an unusually square boiler. When he was new to the line, the steam engines held him in suspicion (they thought he was a diesel). Thomas thought he saw Neville laughing with 'Arry and Bert, but as the story spread, Neville earned the reputation of a troublemaker who wanted to bump into steam engines. Neville did not understand the hostility directed at him, and it was not until he was headed for an accident that the others found out the mistake they had made. Thomas came to Neville's aid and apologised for the misunderstanding.[18]

Neville has appeared in only three episodes of the series, one each in seasons 9, 11 and 12. He also appeared in two learning segments, one each in seasons 10 and 12.

Voice Actors

Rosie

Rosie is a lavender tank engine, with light grey sides, red lining, gold boiler bands and red wheels. Her face is dotted with freckles.

Rosie can be headstrong at times. She has tried to help Thomas when he told her not to,[19] and once tried to take Emily's train to the funfair, not realizing that her trucks were breaking away.[20]

She often works alongside Thomas[19][21] and has come to idolize him, although he's annoyed at her attempts to copy him. During a storm he tried to avoid Rosie while travelling to High Farm. Rosie, who followed him closely, came to take the train when Thomas was caught in a landslide, and he appreciated the help. Rosie later came to help Thomas when Hector was being disruptive at the coal depot. Hector's shouting ran Rosie from the yard, and Thomas angrily forced Hector off the rails in retaliation.[21] Some time after, Rosie rescued Thomas when he had splashed into a puddle and put out his fire. Thomas asked Rosie to take his special for him, and she willingly obliged.[22]

Rosie debuted in Season 10 and has appeared in every season of the show and in most feature-length specials since.

Voice Actors

Whiff

Whiff is a dark green rubbish-collecting tank engine who wears glasses and has a distinct two-tone whistle. Whiff is rather naive to others' thoughts about him, his job and his smell, but he is still very friendly.[23][24]

When Whiff was new to the railway, Emily was quickly teased for working with him. She avoided him until the rubbish trucks for which they were responsible blocked Spencer's line. She decided then to co-operate with him to help move the train.[23]

He also had a major role in Misty Island Rescue as the one engine who knew the Misty Island Tunnel.

Whiff works at Whiff's Waste Dump with Scruff the Scruncher.

Whiff wears the number 66 on his sides.

Whiff was introduced in Season 11 and has appeared in every season of the show ever since, except season 13. He also had a major role in Misty Island Rescue and appears briefly in The Great Discovery and Blue Mountain Mystery.

Voice Actors

Stanley

Stanley is a strong silver tank engine with a non-metallic silver coat, silver smokebox, red stripes and red wheels. He was brought to The Fat Controller's railway to help with the preparations for an annual Sodor Day celebration. Other engines took to him because of his willingness to help out, or to find an engine who could.[25]

Thomas became jealous of Stanley's popularity and planned to make him look foolish, shunting a heavy train that Stanley could not pull uphill from Great Waterton. When the train broke away and rolled into the construction site, the other engines became angry with Thomas. Stanley, however, glimpsed Thomas upset with his abandonment. When Thomas went missing, Stanley was eager to help him, and after being rescued, Thomas apologized for their feud.[26]

Stanley was introduced in The Great Discovery, and has appeared in every season since, except seasons 13 and 17.[16][27][28] He also appeared in Misty Island Rescue, Day of the Diesels, Blue Mountain Mystery, Tale of the Brave and Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure. He also had a supporting role in The Great Race.

Voice Actors

Charlie

Charlie is a purple tank engine with light grey trim, a black dome and red wheels. He wears the number 14. Charlie was the controller's favorite on the mainland railway that he came from. Despite his size, he is well known for being fun and ready for adventure. Charlie rarely takes things seriously; everything is fun and games to him. This can be a negative effect on the engines around him.Charlie was introduced in Season 13. In his debut story, "Play Time", Charlie challenged Thomas to races around the island when Thomas needed to be doing his job.[30][30] In another episode, Charlie enjoyed Thomas' game, "Splish, Splash, Splosh", which encouraged Thomas to try it on others - with bad results.[22][31] Later Charlie helped Thomas in the search for a runaway kite.[22][32]

Charlie was introduced in season 13 and has appeared in every season of the show ever since. He also appeared in Day of the Diesels, and has a minor role in The Great Race.

Voice Actors

Voice Actors

Recurring characters (diesel engines)

Diesel

For more details on Diesel, see The Other Railway § Diesel.

Diesel was the first diesel engine to arrive on the Island of Sodor. He is painted black and has six wheels. He is based on a British Rail Class 08 diesel shunter.[35] He first came to Sodor for a trial run, helping Duck. After an embarrassing mistake,[36] Diesel spread mean-spirited rumours about Duck,[37] but once The Fat Controller got to the bottom of the incident, he sent Diesel back.[38] But from time to time, Diesel was brought back for help when no spare other engines were available. Diesel would usually antagonize the steam engines,[39][40] and be sent away in disgrace for causing accidents.[41][42]

Diesel eventually became a permanent resident of the railway, and continued to feud with the steam engines, particularly Thomas.[9][43] However, his personality has begun to soften. He was silently thankful when Thomas replaced his water-contaminated oil,[43] and agreed to help the steam engines to complete an important job for The Fat Controller.[44] Diesel stole the special coaches commemorating Gordon's record express run, but later revealed it was only because his own shunting record had gone unnoticed. The Fat Controller and the engines felt sorry for him, and at Gordon's ceremony, they presented Diesel with a new motor to replace his faulty old one.[45] Once, Diesel rolled in front of Thomas in a billboard photo by mistake. Thomas failed to tell Diesel about the second shoot, and Diesel did the other engines' work while they were gathered for the photograph, making him late for his own jobs. When Thomas realized what happened, he decided to make amends by finishing Diesel's incomplete jobs.[46] Later, Diesel created trouble when he challenged Thomas to a race backwards around the quarry. This left a special unfinished, and Diesel willingly helped Thomas clear the mess and finish their job.[47]

Diesel first appeared in season 2, and has appeared in every season of the show ever since, except season 5. Diesel also had supporting roles in Calling All Engines, Misty Island Rescue, Day of the Diesels, Blue Mountain Mystery, King of the Railway and The Great Race. He appears briefly in The Great Discovery, Hero of the Rails and Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure.

Voice Actors

Daisy

For more details on Daisy, see Major characters in The Railway Series § Daisy.

Daisy is a diesel railcar who came to work on Thomas' branch line when Thomas needed repairs. Her daily job is delivering milk vans around Sodor.[48][49] The Fat Controller decided to keep Daisy when she proved she could be useful.[50] Her face is decorated in make-up, including eyelashes, blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow.

Daisy complained of the working conditions when she arrived, and was rude to the older coaches. She refused to pull any freight for some time, making up excuses about a fitter who said pulling trains was "bad for [her] swerves."[49] This passed for a while, until Percy had an accident, leaving Daisy and Toby to run the branch line. The Fat Controller was cross with Daisy and told her that he sends lazy engines away. With her promise to work harder and a good word from Toby, Daisy was allowed to stay on the railway after Thomas and Percy were repaired.[50]

Since her arrival, Daisy has found out how hard shooing stray animals really can be,[51] and learned to co-operate with the steam engines again when important work needed to be finished.[44]

She now works on the Arlesburgh-Harwick Branch Line with Ryan and Skiff.

Daisy is painted green with yellow lining.

Daisy first appeared in season 2 and also appeared in seasons 4 and 20. She also had minor roles in Calling All Engines, Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure and The Great Race.

Voice Actors

BoCo

For the character in The Railway Series books, see BoCo (The Railway Series).

BoCo is a mixed-traffic diesel who works on branch lines and the main line.

BoCo had an early misunderstanding with Bill and Ben when he took their trucks away. The twins played a trick on BoCo, making him think he was seeing double.[53] BoCo would often laugh about the trouble Bill and Ben caused, and with Edward's help, made sure the twins stayed out of trouble.[54][55][56][57]

Gordon initially disliked BoCo because he was privileged to pull Main Line trains, but turned around when BoCo "saved" him from Bill and Ben.[54] James did not like taking advice from a diesel, and called BoCo names after the diesel warned him about bees.[55] BoCo gets along well with Edward,[56] (whom he defended, when the other engines said he should be retired) and of course Duck.[58]

In the TV series he carries the number D5702 and his livery is green.

BoCo was introduced in season 2 and has appeared in seasons 3, 4 and 5.

Voice Actors

Mavis

For more details on Mavis, see Major characters in The Railway Series § Mavis.

Mavis is an 0-6-0 diesel shunter painted black with yellow hazard stripes. Like Toby, her six wheels are concealed by side plates and a cow-catcher. She also has her name, and "The Ffarquhar Quarry Co. Ltd." written on both sides.

Mavis works at the quarry near Toby's line, and annoyed him by arranging the trucks in the way she thought best. She refused to listen to Toby's advice, which got her into trouble.[39] Mavis wanted to leave the quarry, and arranged a plan with the trucks to push her down Toby's line. The trucks ended up pushing Toby instead, onto a dangerous bridge. Mavis apologized to Toby for the accident, and The Fat Controller thanked her for rescuing Toby, promising that she could come down the line whenever her manager agreed.[1][59]

Mavis later began working with Bill and Ben at Centre Island Quarry (which is actually a renamed Ffarquhar Quarry), where they answered directly to The Fat Controller.[60] She often had to look after the twins and make sure they stayed out of trouble.[10][61] As time went on, the quarry was more often worked by Thomas, Diesel, or 'Arry and Bert,[43][47] while Mavis has remained in operation there. Mavis has been consistently amiable towards the steam engines, and Thomas turned to her when an important job required steam and diesel engines to work together.[44]

Mavis first appeared in season 3 and has appeared in every season of the show since.

Mavis has also had supporting roles in the movies, Calling All Engines, Hero of the Rails, Day of the Diesels, and Blue Mountain Mystery, as well as a non-speaking role in The Great Discovery. She appears briefly in Misty Island Rescue, Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure and The Great Race.

Voice Actors

'Arry and Bert

'Arry and Bert' are twin diesel engines who work at the scrapyards and smelters of Sodor Ironworks. They are painted Grey-green with yellow cabs and yellow and grey-green hazard stripes.

They feel superior to steam engines, and working at the scrap yards, they enjoy the chance to break up engines,[62] or at least make their lives more difficult.[63][64] They have earned a reputation on Sodor as "The Grim Messengers of Doom."[1] Despite their prejudices, the diesels have co-operated with steam engines on occasion,[44] and when they are in trouble, steam engines often come to their rescue.[43][47]

'Arry & Bert are British Rail Class 08 diesel-electric shunters.

'Arry is usually shown to be the leader of the two, as evidenced in "Stepney Gets Lost" and "Middle Engine", while Bert carries out most of the orders.

'Arry and Bert were introduced in season 5 and have appeared in seasons 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19 and 20. They had supporting roles in Calling All Engines and Day of the Diesels and briefly appeared in The Great Discovery and The Great Race.

Diesel 10

For more details on the character's role in Thomas and the Magic Railroad, see Thomas the Tank Engine film characters § Diesel 10.

Diesel 10 is a large and villainous grumpy (but aggressive) hydraulic diesel engine with a claw (Which he named "Pinchy") attached to an arm on his roof. In Calling All Engines!, he uses the claw to lift scrap metal and debris into trucks on The Fat Controller's railway. Thomas and Percy were frightened of him and made sure to avoid him whenever possible. Eventually, Thomas needed his help in order to clear a wreck at the airport, and to patch a feud between steam and diesel engines. He convinced Diesel 10 that helping the engines at the airport would make him the most useful engine of all. According to the narrator, "Diesel 10 was grumpy, but like all the engines, he likes to be Really Useful". So Diesel 10 agrees, and with his help to clear scrap, the airport opens on schedule.

Diesel 10 appeared briefly in a later special, The Great Discovery. He was one of a number of diesel engines waiting at the quarry when Thomas went missing. In Misty Island Rescue, Diesel 10 makes an appearance in full CGI for the first time, and has seemed to have reverted to his classic evil persona (as seen in Thomas and the Magic Railroad), promising disaster for the engines to come very soon while clamping his claw with an evil laugh (which was a cliffhanger to Day of the Diesels). Rupert Degas supplied the voice before getting replaced by Matt Wilkinson.

Diesel 10 returned in the 2011 special, Day of the Diesels, now described not only as villainous but as the most devious of all diesels, and the "master of mischief" on Sodor. He likes trying to outwit the Steamies, often causing confusion and delay. He later appears in the TV series' season 17 episode "The Missing Christmas Decorations".[65]

Diesel 10 first appeared in the movie Thomas and the Magic Railroad and has appeared in Calling All Engines!, The Great Discovery, Misty Island Rescue, Day of the Diesels and Season 17.

For more details on Stepney, see Minor characters in The Railway Series § Stepney.

Stepney is a tank engine who once lay derelict on a siding on The Other Railway. When the Bluebell line needed an engine, Rusty travelled to the Other Railway to find a steam engine, and brought Stepney back to the line.[71] Stepney enjoys working again, but his line is short, and he appreciates visits to The Fat Controller's railway. He loves long runs[72] and pulling trucks.[62][73] This enthusiastic attitude, together with his friendliness, make him a welcome visitor on the Fat Controller's railway.

On his first visit, Stepney took a special that forced Thomas to be shunted.[72] He was chased by Caroline and a group of cricketers when he accidentally stole their ball.[73] Finally, when a new diesel broke down, Stepney and Duck upstaged him by bringing his train in early. Stepney was given a fond farewell from The Fat Controller's engines and asked to come back.[74] Stepney has visited the railway again, helping out at the quarry and having a close call while stranded at the scrapyard.[62] After a while, Stepney was treated as a regular resident of the railway,[20][75][76] and The Fat Controller was eager to have him run the new loop line.[77]

Spencer is a sleek, fast engine who frequently visits The Fat Controller's railway. He is the private engine of the wealthy Duke and Duchess of Boxford. The other engines were initially very impressed with him,[78] but over time came to resent his arrogance.[79]

Spencer's pride is often his downfall. On his first visit, he ran out of water on the hill when he failed to heed Gordon's advice.[78] Later, he lost a race to Edward when he thought the old blue engine was too slow to catch up.[80] Spencer taunted Thomas for being too slow, and when the Duke needed to make an urgent trip, Spencer's boiler would take too long to heat properly.[79] Spencer appeared in the movie Hero of the Rails. He tried to have Hiro scrapped, but while racing Thomas a bridge collapsed beneath him, dropping him into a marsh, ironically being rescued by Hiro himself later.

In the movie King of the Railway Spencer returns to the island to help Sir Robert Norramby (the current Earl of Sodor) in restoration of Ulfstead Castle.

Spencer was originally painted light grey, but later became a metallic silver color.

Voice Actors

Hiro

Hiro is an old Oliver Island (Japanese style) tender engine. Hiro was supposedly the first Japanese steam engine on the Island of Sodor (but is in-fact quite younger than most of the narrow gauge engines; even Thomas is slightly older than him), and was nicknamed "The Master of the Railway." After many good years of service and earning himself a fine reputation on both Oliver Island and Sodor, Hiro started to break down. The mechanics did not have parts for him at the works, and he had to wait for parts from Oliver Island. In the meantime, he was put into a disused siding. More engines came, and he was quietly forgotten, with a small forest growing up around him.

After many years alone, Thomas discovered him by accident after his brakes failed. Hiro was broken and rusty, almost beyond repair, and insecure of his ability to be useful anymore. Thomas decided to try to help Hiro, but would not tell The Fat Controller for fear Hiro would be scrapped.[81][82][83] Thomas, with the help of his friends, reassembled Hiro with various fitting parts from the Sodor Steamworks. However Spencer became suspicious of Thomas, and spied on him. He eventually scared Thomas out of Hiro's forest with the old engine rattling as fast as he could behind him. This caused Hiro to fall apart again, and he lost nearly all his new parts, save for his rebuilt boiler.

Soon afterward, Thomas told The Fat Controller what happened, and Hiro was sent to the Sodor Steamworks, where Victor oversaw his restoration. After Hiro was mended, he worked with Thomas and Spencer for a short time, but became homesick. Several days later, he was sent back to Oliver Island, after a glorious farewell celebration at the docks. In Season 13, he returns permanently. During that time Thomas tried to find Hiro a present, but failed. He also gave Thomas advice on the transportation of bees, which Thomas promptly ignored.

Hiro's tender bears the number 51.

Hiro was introduced in Hero of the Rails, and has also appeared in every season of the show ever since. He has supporting roles in Misty Island Rescue, King of the Railway and The Great Race. He also appears briefly in Day of the Diesels.

Duck calls him a celebrity, and Thomas doubts he would care to talk to them, but City Of Truro spends the night talking to the other engines before leaving in the morning. Gordon becomes jealous that City Of Truro traveled at a record 100 miles per hour and goes out to prove he can go faster.

Another visitor (Flying Scotsman) appeared in "Tender Engines". The other engines admired his two tenders, which The Fat Controller said were due to distances between Coal depots on his own railway. During Scotsman's visit, Henry wanted more tenders of his own, leading Duck and Donald to trick him into accepting six old, sludge-filled tenders.
