7	[[folder: The Narrator]]
8	! The Narrator
9	->"There's probably a moral to this story, but sod me if I know it."
10	-->--"A Better View For Gordon"
11	The omnipotent and omnipresent narrator of the series. Has a liking for insulting the characters.
12	* JerkAss: Really likes to insult the engines.
13	* TheNarrator: Obviously.

15	[[folder: The North Western Railway]]
16	! Thomas
17	->"And less of the stumpy, too! Mine's bigger than yours."
18	-->--"Thomas And Gordon"
19	A lazy, apathetic tank engine with a penchant for crossword puzzles and cigarettes. Once ran for Mayor, but lost. His full name is Thomas D. Tancengine.
20	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The early seasons had him more of a whiny ManChild with the self-awareness of a dead goat, but he matures significantly thanks to the events in the Election Arc and a pep-talk from Edward. He will occasionally still show his immature side, but for the most part he has become a (relatively) competent worker more prone to the occasional [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] than whining as the series progresses.
21	* DidntThinkThisThrough: His lack of self-awareness comes with a lack impulse control. Almost all the trouble he lands himself in is a result of him doing something with almost no consideration for the consequences.
22	* EveryoneHasStandards: Even he will tire of Gordon's constant grumbling, especially when it is inappropriate given the context. For example, he delivers this particularly venomous quip with a ''completely straight face'' at Gordon loudly complains about Henry returning happily repaired from Crewe following his nasty accident with the Flying Kipper.
23	--> '''Thomas''': [[SarcasmMode How dare he be happy.]]
24	** He also mentally slaps himself after accidentally [[ItMakesSenseInContext comparing a local farmer to Hitler]]. That's a line even he doesn't want to cross.
25	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Much more prevalent in the earlier seasons. After his CharacterDevelopment during the Election Arc, he is received significantly better by the other engines, though few hesitate to call him out when he slips back into the occasional immaturity.
26	* TheHero: He seems to believe he's one of these. After the Election arc, he seems to at least be actually ''trying'' to hold this ideal, with mixed results.
27	* HiddenDepths: Thanks to his Character Development during the Election arc, he actually confides in Edward that he isn't as confident as his arrogance seems to imply, and that he is actually aware of how terrible a mayor he would actually be for Sodor.
28	* IncomingHam: In "The Runaway".
29	-->'''Thomas''': WHAT HO, YOU LOT!
30	-->'''Percy''': Oh God, he's back.
31	* JerkAss: At his very worst.
32	** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is this mostly.
33	* SmokingIsCool: Is a heavy smoker in the first season, though he eventually gives it up.
34	* TooDumbToLive: Has had many, ''many'' lapses of idiocy.
35	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Gordon and James.
36	! Edward
37	->"Well, it's either that or the Fat Controller. Really when he's called that he sounds like a bloody Doctor Who villain."
38	-->--"Edward and Gordon"
39	A quick-witted, dry-humoured old tender engine. One of the nicer engines in the Sodor fleet. Survived the Second World War and still has flashbacks.
40	* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: This version of Edward is a ShellShockedVeteran.
41	%%* CoolOldGuy
42	* DarkAndTroubledPast: He survived the Second World War, when [[spoiler:his friends were tortured by Germans.]]
43	* DeadpanSnarker: To quote the narrator, his wit is "as dry as the Sahara Desert".
44	%%* HeroicBSOD
45	* INeedAFreakingDrink: When things get stressful, expect Edward to embrace the alcohol.
46	* NiceGuy: Undoubtedly the nicest on the island.
47	* OnlySaneMan: He often sees himself as this, alongside Toby and Duck.
48	* SanitySlippage: Suffers a huge one when he realizes that he has to work with Bill and Ben.
49	%%* TheSmartGuy
50	* TheWoobie: You really have to feel sorry for him due to the amount of stupidity and insanity he has to deal with on a daily basis.
51	** As of late he is also shown to be badly missing [=BoCo=].
52	! Henry
53	->"Oh, really? I didn't know they sold ''waterproof'' paint at the works!"
54	-->--"The Sad Story Of Henry"
55	A hypochondriac bisexual tender engine. Occasionally gets himself and sometimes his friends high. Once stopped in a tunnel because he though that the rain was alive and going to kill him. Has slight damage from illegal substances.
56	* BigDamnHeroes: Both he and [=BoCo=] are this in the season four finale when they knock a truck possessed Marklin into the sea.
57	* ButtMonkey: Whenever he has to pull The Flying Kipper something bad will inadvertaly happen.
58	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Starts as this in the series.
59	* NiceGuy: He becomes one of these by the time Season 3 rolls around.
60	* NiceMeanAndInbetween: The nice to Gordon's inbetween and James' mean.
61	* TheStoner: Has abused drugs in the past.
62	! Gordon
63	->"Well done, Percy! You started so quickly you stopped a nasty accident! And that accident was me beating you into a pulp!"
64	-->--"Percy Runs Away"
65	An arrogant express engine. Likes being clean, himself, going fast, and Daisy. Hates delays, mud, and Thomas. Had an existential crisis in Season 4 after meeting Sir Handel.
66	* TheAce: Thinks he's one.
67	* CasanovaWannabe: He keeps trying to get with Daisy, but it gets nowhere and it's the source of most of his grumpiness.
68	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: While not as bad as James you'd be very hard pressed to find someone who openly likes him.
69	* JerkAss
70	** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has his moments, such as when he beats the ''holy hell'' out of a diesel that made the unfortunate mistake of directing homophobic remarks at Henry.
71	* LargeHam: YES.
72	* NiceMeanAndInbetween: The inbetween to Henry's nice and James' mean.

77	! James
78	->"Where the hell is that miserable green scrotum wipe Percy?!"
79	-->--"Percy And The Signal"
80	A vain, limelight-hugging mixed traffic engine. Believes himself to be the centre of the universe. Had a singing career, but nobody talks about that anymore. Hates Percy.
81	* AmbiguouslyGay: All the engines think he is, even placing bets on when he'll come out.
82	** His driver and fireman [[StraightGay on the other hand...]]
83	--> ''James watched as the two men retreated to a distance, and their argument steadily got more and more personal. And...somewhat steamy. James frowned. He could have sworn his driver and fireman were now...''\
84	''Oh.''\
85	''OH.''
86	* BerserkButton: Being ignored or called the wrong name by the others at the start of the series.
87	** He beats the ever loving shit out of Marklin in Thomas and The Magic Railroad after Marklin scratches his paint.
88	** He hates it when people make fun of his accent, namely the way he pronounces "rubbish." (''[[FunetikAksent Rabbish!]]'')
89	* TheDitz
90	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Hardly any of the engines like him (with the possible exception of Edward).
91	* IHaveManyNames: He was referred to as The Red One, Eagle, Jerome and the Red Engine Who Shall Not Be Named before his proper introduction.
92	* ItsAllAboutMe
93	* JerkAss
94	** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has his moments, such as buying Edward a Dean Martin CD for Christmas, despite hating the music of said singer.[[spoiler: He also gets information on Drampf being a draft dodger from St.Eustace after the former revealed that Henry was bisexual during the election.]] He later goes with Toby when Toby re-discovers his old line, and actually ''listens'' to Toby's confession that he is in pain due to several of his irreplaceable parts wearing out.
95	* LargeHam: Especially in season 5, where he's seemingly forgotten how to speak in a normal tone.
96	** NoIndoorVoice
97	* NiceMeanAndInbetween: The mean to Henry's nice and Gordon's inbetween.
98	* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Nobody ever lets him forget the time he mispronounced rubbish as "rabbish".
99	* SmallNameBigEgo: DEAR GOD.
100	* TooDumbToLive
101	* VitriolicBestBuds: With everyone, though mostly with Percy.
102	! Percy
103	->"Why, that's James! Thought you'd been introduced to the scumball of the Island!"
104	-->--"Dirty Objects"
105	A small, irritating, snarky saddletank. Has a short temper. Once screamed at the Fat Controller as a result of several shots of morphine. Hates James. Has the ability to see the future.
106	* ButtMonkey: Stills suffers embarrassing accidents, like in the TV series.
107	* ClusterFBomb: Gives a allmighty one to The Fat Controller in "Percy's Predicament".

118	-->--"Daisy"
119	An elderly, level-headed tram engine. Thinks that he's the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Engine]] on the railway.
120	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his first appearance it was not-so-lightly implied that he was a little more off his rocker than he seemed, and possibly even had the makings of a ''serial killer'' waiting to snap. As the seasons wore on, this was more or less discarded in favor of being depicted as an elderly, insecure, and often put-upon old tram engine whose age was catching up to him.
121	* FlatCharacter: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] and [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. Other than being the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Engine]], he doesn't have much in the way of characterization, but actually becomes rather insecure about this as the series goes on, to the point of confiding that he isn't really sure ''what'' role he is supposed to be among the Steam Team.
