THOMAS the TANK ENGINE - Number 1

  • First appearance - Leaving Sodor
  • Colour - Blue
  • Configuration - 0-6-0T
  • Thomas is a small tank engine whose best friend is Percy. He seems to get along with other engines very well, and he has two older brothers; Edward and Gordon. What not many engines see in Thomas is he is a dreamer with an imagination exploding with ideas. Thomas has also developed a few rivalries, like Spencer and Diesel.

EDWARD the BLUE ENGINE - Number 2

  • First appearance - Leaving Sodor
  • Colour - Blue
  • Configuration - 4-4-0
  • Edward is the middle brother, which can often be hard work. Edward is probably best friends with one of the smaller engines, but the big engines like Gordon and Henry are still good friends with him. Edward can often be seen working hard and helping out. His rivals include some diesels, Spencer and sometimes Gordon, Henry and James.

GORDON the BIG ENGINE - Number 3

  • First appearance - Leaving Sodor
  • Colour - Blue
  • Configuration - 4-6-2
  • Gordon is the fastest engine on the island, which can often make someone boastful. That's Gordon! His best friend is Henry, although they sometimes have falling outs. Gordon's main rivals are diesels, Spencer and unpleasant engines.

HENRY the GREEN ENGINE - Number 4

  • First appearance - Leaving Sodor
  • Colour - Green
  • Configuration - 4-6-2
  • Henry is the kind of engine that is a good friend, but a bad friend. Henry used to often feel ill and sickly, but he later had an overhaul at a famous workshop called Crewe. His best friend is Gordon and his main rival is one of the diesels.

JAMES the RED ENGINE - Number 5

  • First appearance - Leaving Sodor
  • Colour - Red
  • Configuration - 2-6-0
  • James is a vain, red mixed-traffic engine. When he first arrived on Sodor, he was eager to pull coaches, but had to pull trucks. He later had to stay in the shed for misbehaving, but was let out to pull the express. James is good friends with Gordon, Henry, Donald and Douglas.
