Toby (voiced by Ben Small in Hero of the Rails and Series 19, Rob Rackstraw in Series 19-24 in the UK and William Hope in the US) is an anthropomorphic brown square tram engine who used to work on his own railway near Thomas' Branch Line, and is number 7.His favourite job is to deliver the mail and he works on Thomas' Branch Line as a goods engine. He is Thomas' best friend and one of the junior engines on the North Western Railway, often getting into trouble when he tries to play tricks on the other engines. Percy (voiced by Keith Wickham in Hero of the Rails and Series 18, Nigel Pilkington in Series 19-24 in the UK, Martin Sherman in Hero of the Rails and Series 18 and by Christopher Ragland in Series 19-24 in the US voiced by Charlie Zeltzer in the US and by Henri Charles in the UK in Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go) is a little green saddle tank engine who was brought to Sodor to help run the railway during Henry, Gordon, and James' strike, and is number 6.He is based on the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Class 28. Despite being a mixed-traffic engine, he does not like pulling trucks and feels superior to the others except the big engines. He is proud of his splendid red paintwork, but tends to be vain, boastful, and overconfident, and does not like getting dirty. James (voiced by Keith Wickham in Hero of the Rails and Series 21, Rob Rackstraw in The Adventure Begins and Series 24 in the UK version, Kerry Shale in Hero of the Rails and Series 18 in the US version voiced by Luke Marty in the US and by Tom Dussek in the UK in Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go) is a red anthropomorphic mixed-traffic tender engine who works on the North Western Railway, usually on the Main Line, and is number 5.He is based on an LNER Gresley Classes A1 and A3.

From the twenty-second series onwards, he shares this duty with Rebecca. 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. At times, this leads him to feel superior. He is one of the fastest and strongest engines on Sodor and his main task is to pull the railway's express train.

He is one of the oldest engines on Sodor and is occasionally made fun of for his age.
