Troublesome Trucks

"Percy's much too busy to be bothered with the likes of you!"

- Oliver, "Oliver's Find", fifth season



"Troublesome Trucks" are so nicknamed because they can be quite troublesome and love to play tricks. No one - save for Edward, Stepney and Salty - likes them, as they have been the cause of many accidents. Their behaviour could perhaps be best described in the following statement:


 * ''"Every wise engine knows that you cannot trust trucks."

There have, however, been some cases where the trucks and engines are on the same side.

Persona
Trucks could be considered the rebels of the railway, as most of them love to cause mischief, confusion and delay. They will play tricks on an engine based on how they treat them. Most accidents caused by the trucks are a form of revenge due to mistreatment. If an engine is having a bad day, makes a mistake or is easily played upon, then the trucks begin their wild antics of singing, name calling, holding back, shoving, bumping, giggling and so on.
