Workshop Engines

Percy's Friends= These engines were mentioned and appeared in the workshop where Percy lived in "Troublesome Engines". They are described as looking "big, little, happy, sad and anxious".

The first workshop engine
The first workshop engine appears to be like what James was like when he first came to Sodor - a black 0-6-0 tender engine with red stripes. He was first seen in "Troublesome Engines" looking sad. But then, he was looking quite curious in Henry the Green Engine when Henry was getting his special Welsh Coal.

The second workshop engine
The second workshop engine may be a blue 0-8-2 tank engine. He was first seen in the background in James the Red Engine, described as "a little tank engine" when he teased James about his bootlace incident. Then, he appeared in "Troublesome Engines" looking anxiously at the Fat Controller. Since he was a tank engine built for heavy freight, the second workshop engine was probably hauling the goods train that was most unfornately crashed by Henry with the Flying Kipper.

The third workshop engine
The third workshop engine may be a red 4-6-2 with black lining and a eight-wheel tender. Just like Gordon, he was a London and North Eastern Railway "A3" Class 4-6-2, built in 1922 and converted by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (hence his red livery).

The fourth workshop engine
The fourth workshop engine may be a green 4-4-0 tender engine with red lining and a eight-wheel tender. He is based on the London and South Western Railway "T9" Class 4-4-0. Only one has survived into preservation and is currently based at the Bodmin and Wenford Railway in Cornwall, Southern England.

The fifth and sixth workshop engines
In addition to these in "My Thomas Story Library", there are two other engines; one looks like a maroon version of Percy with yellow stripes and inside cylinders and other looks like Wilbert with blue wheels.

the seventh and eighth workshop engines
Two other engines appeared in the comic "Chiff Chaff" when Edward went to the works. The first looks like a green version of Murdoch with green smoke deflectors, whilst the second is a silver electric multiple-unit (EMU). The eyes of another engine were visible.
