Thomas	NWR 01/LBSCR 70	A little blue 0-6-0 tank engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor on the North Western Railway. He initially worked as the station pilot at Knapford. After helping to rescue James from a nasty accident, Thomas was rewarded by being permanently assigned to the Ffarquhar Branch line with his two coaches, Annie and Clarabel.	LB&SCR E2 class (with extended side tanks)	Ben Small (2010–2015) John Hasler (2015–2021) Aaron Barashi (All Engines Go first and second series) Shaun Jemmett (All Engines Go third and fourth series)	Martin Sherman (2010–2015) Joseph May (2015–2021) Meesha Contreras (All Engines Go first and second series) David Kohlsmith (All Engines Go second series) Kai Harris (All Engines Go third and fourth series)
Gordon	NWR 04	A big blue tender engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor on the North Western Railway. He is one of the fastest and strongest engines on Sodor and his main task is to pull the railway's express train, which leads him to feel superior at times. He's mainly used for passenger duties, but has occasionally pulled goods trains, much to his disliking, as he believes that these are below him. He is Flying Scotsman's older brother and Spencer's cousin. Gordon works on the Main Line and shares a duty with Rebecca from the twenty-second series to the twenty-fourth series.	LNER Gresley Classes A1 and A3	Keith Wickham (2010–2021) Will-Harrison Wallace (All Engines Go)	Kerry Shale (2010–2021) Neil Crone (All Engines Go)
James	NWR 05	A red mixed-traffic tender engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor on the North Western Railway. He is proud of his splendid red paintwork, but tends to be vain, boastful, and overconfident, and does not like getting dirty. Despite being a mixed-traffic engine, he does not like pulling trucks, and feels superior to the others except the big engines. James is an experimental version of the class. Having an extended running board and front pony truck, he was designed to slow down when nose-diving at high speeds. Rather, than a 0-6-0, he is a 2-6-0. The experiment failed and he was soon bought by Sir Topham Hatt.

Percy	NWR 06	A little green saddle tank engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor on the North Western Railway. He was first brought to Sodor to help run the railway while Gordon, James and Henry went on strike and later became station pilot at Knapford. Following the renovation of the New Harbour, Percy was moved permanently to Thomas' Branch Line, where he now works as a goods engine. His favourite job is pulling the Mail Train and he is Thomas' best friend. The original creator, Wilbert Awdry, had considered Percy as having no basis. But, is built from many creators from the Hunslet Engine Company.

Emily	NWR 12	An emerald tender engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor on the North Western Railway. When Emily was new to Sodor, she was ignored for borrowing Annie and Clarabel without Thomas' knowledge, to the shock of the other engines. The matter was resolved after she saved Oliver from a nasty accident and she was rewarded with two new coaches. She works mostly on the Main Line in odd jobs and mixed-traffic duties and once ran the Misty Valley Branch Line. Following her rescue of Gordon from a collapsing bridge, and James, Percy and Rebecca from a derailment, Emily became Sodor's safety engine.

Duck	NWR 08	A green Great Western pannier tank engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor on the North Western Railway. One thing you may not know about Duck is that his real name is Montague. Montague goes by "Duck" because some engines say he "waddles", but he doesn't really waddle. In fact, Duck likes his nickname better than Montague. He thinks that there are two ways of doing things: the Great Western way and the wrong way. He runs his own branch line along with Oliver, and his three Slip Coaches, which he affectionally refers to as the "Slippies".	GWR 5700 Class	Steven Kynman

Sodor Construction Company

In the sixth series, a new set of characters was introduced called "The Pack". The characters were devised by then-producer Phil Fehrle with the intention of being turned into a spin-off series, possibly as a rival to HIT Entertainment's other successful show and brand Bob the Builder. This spin-off was partially filmed alongside the seventh series the following year but was not aired. The few completed episodes were released direct-to-DVD in 2006.
