Tankers

There are many different types of tankers on the Island of Sodor used to carry various kinds of liquids. They are also referred to as wagons or trucks and are rarely depicted with faces.

Tankers
There are black, white, brown, silver, grey, and yellow tankers used to carry various liquids.

Trivia

 * The faces on the tankers were reused from the Slate Trucks.

Merchandise

 * Motor Road and Rail (only in Asia and Australia with a face)
 * Wind-up Trains (Asia only)

Fuel tankers
The fuel tankers are painted yellow with pictures of fire in red diamonds and "SODOR FUEL" in black on both sides. They are used to transport fuel. In the thirteenth season, the words "Sodor Fuel" were removed and a red gas can has taken their place.

Trivia

 * Fuel has also been transported in black tankers, and yellow tankers without any labels.
 * The title "Sodor Fuel" is an in-joke. Apparently it was supposed to sound like "Sod off, you all."
 * One fuel tanker model is on display in Canada at Nitrogen Studios.

Oil tankers
The oil tankers are painted black with "OIL" in white on the side. There are also a number of older, dirtier oil tankers that can be seen around Sodor. The utmost care must be taken with these in case of fire, as James once found out when his tankers caught fire. Up until Hero of the Rails, the oil tankers just said "OIL" but this was changed to an oil rig with oil coming out of it on a golden circle.
