Old Coaches

In the television series, the old coaches were used on slower trains due to their age. They only appeared in the first season, and were introduced in Edward and Gordon. They were generally pulled by Thomas, Edward and Henry. James and Percy seem to use them as well, though these were only shown in promotional pictures.

Basis
The Old Coaches are based on GER Holden four wheel coaches.

Livery
The Old Coaches are painted green with yellow windows. In the first season episode, Edward and Gordon, three coaches in the goods shed behind Edward appear to be unmodified versions of the Old Coaches painted in LNER Teak livery. In a postcard, two coaches appear to be painted dark red and have yellow windows.

Merchandise

Trivia

 * The Old Coaches appear to have only have been painted on one side. In Coal, as Henry rounds a bend, their teak livery can briefly be seen. This would also account for the teak coach appearing in a deleted scene from Edward and Gordon, as well as the brake coach being backwards in numerous shots.
 * The Old Coaches bear a slight resemblance to Emily's Coaches from the seventh season.
