The Horrid Lorries

"Well, well, well! The Brothers Grim: Smashed, Broken, and Sunk!"

- Thomas, "Horrid Lorry", fifth season

The Horrid Lorries are three small lorries.

When Percy was late one day, Cranky suggested that "perhaps a lorry" could do his work. True to his word, three red, incredibly rude lorries arrived the next day. They called Percy a "little green goblin on wheels", insulted Thomas and James and told Toby to "toodle off" to a museum. Of course, all three got their comeuppance in due course: one fell off a mountainside, one broke down after being overloaded with flour and one reversed into the sea, they must've been as stupid as they looked. They were sent away, but not before being nicknamed "Smashed", "Broken" and "Sunk" by Thomas and this time they never came back to sodor, the engines say "good riddance" to that.

The lorries only had speaking roles in the fifth season episode "Horrid Lorry", and their models (faceless & repainted) have made several cameos since.

In a board game, there has been a 'Lorry 4' included, but this isn't considered complete canon.
