Animal Wagons

"The trucks rattled and screamed!"

- The narrator, Cows, second season

Cattle trucks, also known as Livestock wagons, are used to carry cows and other live stock; some even carry animals for the circus. A herd of cows once broke through a train of these being pulled by Edward.

They first appeared in the second season, and have made infrequent appearances since then.

Livery
Cattle trucks are painted brown, dark green, orange or pink with grey roofs.

Trivia

 * From seasons 1 to 5, the Cattle cars were constructed out of Tenmille kits. These kits are still made today. From season 6 onwards, all of the Cattle trucks were scratch built.
