Annie and Clarabel are Thomas’s faithful coaches, given to him to carry passengers on his Branch Line. Annie can only carry passengers and travels nearest to Thomas, while Clarabel carries passengers, luggage and the guard. Both are quite old, but they and Thomas have a good friendship and often act as voices of reason whenever Thomas gets worried or above himself.

	Henrietta is Toby’s coach and faithful companion. Despite seemingly lacking a face, Toby is attached to her and can tell how she is feeling. Henrietta was very lucky to live on Sodor with Toby when their old line closed, and was glad to miss being made into a henhouse!  Henrietta is one of the few characters on Sodor not to have a face in the TV Series - and only ever appeared with one in the Railway Series books in 2007!

	The Troublesome Trucks are the “Rascals of the Railway”. They come in all shapes, sizes and types, and love to cause grief and despair for whichever engine has to take them out. They have been known to cause constant accidents if their engine is careless and annoy them most by singing rude songs, loud and long! Only the most experienced and strongest of engines can keep them in order and they are quick not to fool with those who do!

	S.C.Ruffey acts as the leader of the trucks. Although looking past his prime, this old wagon still has some tricks up his sleeve, teaching the younger trucks how to be troublesome and irritating!  Like the Spiteful Brakevan, he liked to cause trouble for the engines, this time around Oliver, who had landed in the turntable well, which Scruffey enjoyed teasing him about.  Toad the brake van had a plan that soon put him in his place, and Oliver (accidentally of course!) hauled him to pieces when trying to move a heavy goods train!  He was rebuilt, and has since learnt his lesson.

	Toad escaped from scrap along with Oliver. The two of them are very good friends as Toad helps to keep Oliver’s trucks in order.  He is known to be very pleasant and arguably protective over Oliver's best interests, particularly when he finds himself running into trouble! This elderly van has much respect for all engines, referring them to as ‘Sir’ or ‘Miss’, as he does so when speaking to ‘Mr Oliver’.

	This spiteful Brake Van took pleasure in Douglas's misfortune and launched a vendetta against him to have him sent back to Scotland.  He was soon put in his place by Donald, and behaved better for a while, until he had another chance for mischief, this time with James as his victim.  It was his ultimate undoing when he forced the trucks to hold back, and causing Douglas, pushing from behind, to smash him to pieces...with no chance of repatriation, thank goodness!

	Old Slowcoach was a wonderful Luxury Coach in the old days. She would travel on fine Great Western/Victorian lines then, but as time went on she was soon branded as Old Fashioned and spent most of her lonely years in a scrap yard, waiting for her fate. But luckily, Thomas and Percy discovered her and had her restored to her natural beauty, where she is still useful around Sodor.

	We were first made aware of the Breakdown Train when Thomas used it to rescue James from an accident in a field on his first day.  It consists of a Workman’s coach, some flat trucks and two large cranes, built to carry engines, coaches and trucks - very useful whenever they are required to rescue a derailed train or engine.  Also been seen frequently when maintenance work is needed on the railway.

	Rocky is a cheerful big crane who wants to be friends with everyone on the Island of Sodor.  When he first arrived, some of the engines thought that because Rocky couldn't move on his own, he wouldn't be useful; but he soon proved everyone wrong when he managed to clear a pile of pipes off the line and lift Gordon back onto the track!  Now everyone knows Rocky is a really useful crane, used greatly for maintenance and rescue operations around the railway.

	Hector is one of the biggest and most modern trucks on the Fat Controller's railway.  When he first arrived, he was one of the most fearsome and terrifying trucks that the engines had ever encountered.  Thomas soon found that Hector never meant to scare anyone, but that he was actually scared of being filled with coal for the first time.  Now Hector is as useful as can be, and is no longer afraid of trying new things!
