Pip and Emma

Philippa (Pip) and Emma' make up an InterCity 125 High-Speed Diesel in The Railway Series. They have had problems with their cooling system and came to the railway when Gordon was on a journey. They soon made friends with all the engines.

They have had two appearances, one in Gordon the High-Speed Engine, and one as main characters in Thomas and the Fat Controller's Engines. Following Privatisation], the Fat Controller has decided to purchase them in order to run a faster service to London.

Pip & Emma are based on the British Rail Class 43 HST that holds the world rail speed record for a diesel, at 148mph (238 km/h).
