Major characters (The Steam Team)[edit]
The Steam Team was introduced in season 8. It is the name given to the core group of characters on Sir Topham Hatt's railway (the North Western) as featured in 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 and excluding Emily) appears in the book The Eight Famous Engines.
Thomas[edit]
Main article: Thomas the Tank Engine
Thomas first appeared in The Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry. He is a blue LB&SCR E2 Class 0-6-0 tank engine, and has the number 1 painted on both his side tanks.
Thomas's character persona changes from time to time, from cheeky to wise. He is portrayed as proud to run his own branch line and is very fond of his two coaches, Annie and Clarabel. In "Thomas and the Breakdown Train/Thomas Saves The Day", Thomas saves James from a nasty accident, which is the reason why Sir Topham Hatt gave him his branchline and his coaches.

Edward[edit]
Main article: Edward the Blue Engine
Edward is the first character to appear in The Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry. Edward is one of the older engines on The North Western Railway and is a regular 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.

Henry[edit]
Main article: Henry the Green Engine
Henry is one of the first three 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's character can be difficult to pinpoint, but he is very intelligent, hardworking and strong. Henry has had a more consistent character trait added, being portrayed as having an admiration for nature, particularly trees, he can also be a bit of a worrier. Henry also works at night, taking loads of fish on the Flying Kipper across Sodor.

Gordon[edit]
Main article: Gordon the Big Engine
Gordon is one of the first three engines to appear in The Railway Series. He is locomotive number 4, a blue 4-6-2 tender engine, with red stripes. He is one of the oldest engines on the North Western Railway.
Gordon is also one of the strongest engines on the Island of Sodor 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 on the whole railway.[1] Since Gordon has a big coalbox, he has more than five refills daily, which makes other engines grumble.

James[edit]
Main article: James the Red Engine
James is a mixed traffic tender engine, numbered 5 and coloured red with black and gold stripes and a gold dome. He is a 2-6-0 mixed-traffic railway 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 wheels". He often brags about his red livery, as though this makes him superior to the other engines, a notion which is usually dispelled quickly enough.[1]

Percy[edit]
Main article: Percy the Small Engine
Percy is a green 0-4-0 saddle tank engine with red stripes and a flat brass dome, with the number 6.
He is one of the youngest railway engines of the whole fleet of railway engines.[2] 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 Sir Topham Hatt as "Sir" every few words when addressing him.[1] Although he is considered the smallest on the whole North Western Railway, Percy proves at times to have the biggest heart and an undying will to learn new things.

Toby[edit]
Main article: Toby the Tram Engine
Toby is a tram engine who works on Thomas' branch line. He has cowcatchers, 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 made of wood, painted brown with gray metal sideplates, and has the number 7.
Toby is old and wise, and is always willing to share his experience and knowledge with the other engines. He is careful in everything he does, which means he very rarely has any accidents.

Emily[edit]
Main article: Emily (Thomas & Friends)
Emily is a "Stirling Single" engine. She is painted dark green with gold stripes. She speaks with a Scottish accent, and is the only female member of the Steam Team.
Being the most additional to the fleet of railway engines, Emily often learns many things across Sodor. She once caused Thomas to be upset when she accidentally took Annie and Clarabel upon her arrival, but after saving Oliver from a near accidental collision, she was rewarded with a pair of her own coaches.[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.

Recurring characters (steam engines)[edit]
Duck[edit]
Main article: Duck the Great Western Engine
Duck is a strong pannier 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 Sir Topham Hatt's fleet. He runs his own branch line with Oliver, called The Little Western and speaks with a West Country accent.
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.
Duck was introduced in season 2, and has appeared in seasons 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22.

Donald and Douglas[edit]
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 Sir Topham Hatt 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. They both speak with Scottish accents.
Had they not come to Sodor, Donald and Douglas were to have been scrapped; because of this, they are grateful to have a home and are somber when it comes to the topic of scrapping.
Donald and Douglas were introduced in season 2, and have also appeared in seasons 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 20, 21 and 22.

Oliver is an 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.
Oliver was introduced in season 3, and has appeared in seasons 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 18, 19, 20 and 22.

Bill and Ben[edit]
Further information on Bill and Ben: 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 6-7, Mavis, Fergus or other engines). They work in the china clay quarry and at Brendam Docks, where they are kept busy shunting Freight Cars. Sir Topham Hatt 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 appeared in seasons 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 (in season 12, Ben appeared without Bill), 17, 18, 19, 21 and 22.

Harvey[edit]
Harvey the crane engine is involved in repair and recovery jobs on Sir Topham Hatt’s railway. He speaks with an Scottish accent.[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.[3] Harvey quickly became a fixture of the breakdown crew, pulling the railway's cranes and work coaches.[4][5][6][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 7-12, 17, 18 and 20-22.

Fergus[edit]
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.[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 Sir Topham Hatt 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. Sir Topham Hatt sent Thomas to find Fergus and sort out the matter, and Fergus was soon back to work at the Cement Works. 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.[11]
Fergus has appeared in only 3 episodes in season 7.

Arthur[edit]
Arthur is a maroon red tank engine with gold stripes. Sir Topham Hatt brought him to the North Western Railway for his spotless record. He speaks with a Scottish accent.
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, Percy or the other engines. Thomas decided to trick Arthur, telling him Sir Topham Hatt 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 at the level crossing. Thomas confessed to causing the accident, and he and Arthur decided to mend their friendship.[6]
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, Sir Topham Hatt 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 5 trucks at a time and had an accident, making the job last longer.[13]
Arthur is based on the LMS Ivatt Class 2 2-6-2T mixed-traffic tank locomotive, designed for use on the London Midland & Scottish Railway. He retains the "LMS" lettering on both of his tanks.[14]
Arthur first appeared in season 7, and also appeared in seasons 8, 11 and 12.

Murdoch[edit]
Murdoch is a large and powerful orange tender engine who is somewhat a shy, a gentle giant[15] 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.[15]
Murdoch often hauls heavy loads.[16]
He is based on the BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 heavy freight steam locomotive.
Murdoch first appeared in season 7 and has also appeared in seasons 8, 11 and 12.

Molly[edit]
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
Keiko Nemoto (Japan, Season 9 onwards)
Neville[edit]
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.

Yukito Sōma (Japan, Season 9 onwards)
Rosie[edit]
Rosie is a cherry red tank engine, with light raspberry tank panels, light grey lining, gold boiler bands and red wheels, with the letters NWR painted on her side tanks and the number 37 painted beneath her cab windows (she was formerly colored lavender with light grey side tanks). Her face is dotted with freckles.
Rosie can be headstrong at times. She had 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, except season 20 and The Adventure Begins. She didn't appear in the latter since it was set before she arrived on Sodor.

Whiff[edit]
Whiff is a dark green rubbish-collecting tank engine who wears glasses and has a distinctive two-tone whistle. He is rather naive to the other engines' whose thoughts about him, his job and his smell, but he is still very friendly.[23][24]
When Whiff first arrived on Sodor, 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 communicate with him to help move the train.[23]
Whiff usually works at The Waste Dump with Scruff the Scruncher, and wears the number 66 on his sides of his bunker.
Whiff was introduced in season 11 and has appeared in every season since, except seasons 13 and 21. He also had a major role in Misty Island Rescue (being the one engine who knew the Misty Island Tunnel) and also cameoed in The Great Discovery, Blue Mountain Mystery and Journey Beyond Sodor.

Stanley[edit]
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.[27][28][29] 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 minor role in The Great Race and a cameo in Journey Beyond Sodor.

Hiro[edit]
Hiro is an old Japanese (Oliver Island 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."[31] 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. 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.
Eventually, 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, Hiro returns permanently. During that time Thomas tried to find Hiro a present, but failed and Hiro 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 appeared in every season since, except season 21. He also had supporting roles in Misty Island Rescue, King of the Railway and The Great Race. He also appeared briefly in Day of the Diesels and Journey Beyond Sodor.

Further information on Diesel: 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-electric shunter.[36] He first came to Sodor for a trial run, helping Duck. After an embarrassing mistake,[37] Diesel spread mean-spirited rumours about Duck,[38] but once Sir Topham Hatt got to the bottom of the incident, he sent Diesel back.[39] 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,[40][41] and be sent away in disgrace for causing accidents.[42][43]
Diesel eventually became a permanent resident of the railway, and continued to feud with the steam engines, particularly Thomas.[44] However, his personality has begun to soften. He was silently thankful when Thomas replaced his water-contaminated oil.
Diesel first appeared in season 2, and has appeared in every season since, except season 5.

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."[46] This passed for a while, until Percy had an accident, leaving Daisy and Toby to run the branch line. Sir Topham Hatt 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.[47]
Since her arrival, Daisy has found out how hard shooing stray animals really can be,[48] and learned to co-operate with the steam engines again when important work needed to be finished.
She now works on the Harwick branch line with Ryan and Skiff.
Daisy is based on the British Rail Class 101 Metro-Cammell Diesel Multiple Unit. She is painted green with yellow lining.

Gordon initially disliked BoCo because he was privileged to pull Main Line trains, but turned around when BoCo "saved" him from Bill and Ben.[50] James did not like taking advice from a diesel, and called BoCo names after the diesel warned him about bees.[51] BoCo gets along well with Edward,[52] (whom he defended, when the other engines said he should be retired) and of course Duck.[54]

Mavis works at the quarry near Toby's line, and annoyed him by arranging the freight cars in the way she thought best. She refused to listen to Toby's advice, which got her into trouble.[40] Mavis wanted to leave the quarry, and arranged a plan with the trucks to push her down Toby's line. The freight cars ended up pushing Toby instead, onto a dangerous bridge. Mavis apologized to Toby for the accident, and Sir Topham Hatt thanked her for rescuing Toby, promising that she could come down the line whenever her manager agreed.[1][55] Mavis later began working with Bill and Ben at Centre Island Quarry (which is actually a renamed Ffarquhar Quarry), where they answered directly to Sir Topham Hatt.[56] She often had to look after the twins and make sure they stayed out of trouble.[10][57] As time went on, the quarry was more often worked by Thomas, Diesel, or 'Arry and Bert.[44]
She is based on the British Rail Class 04 0-6-0 diesel-mechanical shunter.

Diesel 10[edit]
Further information on the character's role in Thomas and the Magic Railroad: Thomas the Tank Engine film characters § Diesel 10
Diesel 10 is a large and villainous (also aggressive) diesel-hydraulic engine with a claw (Which he nicknamed "Pinchy") attached to a hydraulic arm on his roof.
He is villainously scheming, conniving and raving diesel-hydraulic engine, with the reputation of despising and antagonizing steam engines on the North Western Railway.
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 later appeared briefly in the feature film 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 had appeared 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 of the character before getting replaced by Matt Wilkinson.
Since Day of the Diesels, Diesel 10 has even been 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 steam engines, often causing confusion and delay. He later appears in the TV series' season 17 episode "The Missing Christmas Decorations".[61]
He is based on a British Rail Class 42 Warship Class diesel-hydraulic locomotive.
Diesel 10 first appeared in the movie Thomas and the Magic Railroad, and had also appeared in Calling All Engines!, The Great Discovery, Misty Island Rescue, Day of the Diesels and season 17.

Thomas was told to show Hank around on a day's work on the railway. Hank made the mistake of calling Thomas "little," which led Thomas to try to prove his strength by taking all of their trucks himself.
