LNWR Vans

The North Eastern Railway Vans are rolling stock used for transporting goods and merchandise throughout the railway.

They are also simply known as vans or trucks in the UK narration or cars in the US narration.

Thomas & Friends
One of these vans was loaded with fruit and vegetables, and James pulled the train for Market Day. When James' brakes failed, Percy had to pull the train instead. Unfortunately, due to a points failure, Percy and the train were diverted into a siding. He then accidentally crushed the front of the van and was covered in squashed fruit. .

One of these vans (along with other Troublesome Trucks) tricked Bill and Ben where to shunt them. As a result, the yard was in a terrible mess causing the twins to be late with their evening duties.

When Oliver fell into the turntable well, they were one of several trucks who teased him when returned from the works. They stopped their teasing towards him, when he pulled S.C. Ruffey, their leader, apart.

Another van later encouraged Diesel to pull a line of 20 trucks, with their brakes on unbeknownst to Diesel. He pulled so hard that he broke loose a coupling and fall off the quay and onto a barge.

Some time afterwards, one of these vans was used to transport garden gnomes to from the abadoned mine to Lower Tidmouth for the "Most Beautiful Station" competition. Percy bumped into the van, and the gnomes fell out, this startled him.

One of these vans have often been used for The Flying Kipper and have been involved in many accidents and adventures while part of the train.
