For characters that first or only appear in the Railway Series see: Minor Human Characters in the Railway Series. For characters that appear in either the annual stories or the magazine stories see: Minor Human Characters in the Annual Stories or Minor Human Characters in the Magazine Stories respectively.

The Injured Sailor
The injured sailor appeared in the third season episode, All at Sea. After he injured his hand during the regatta, Harold brought him to Duck and Duck to Bertie, who then took him to the hospital.

The Quarrymaster
The Quarrymaster was in charge of Anopha Quarry. When a rock-slide started at the quarry, the quarrymaster was nearly left behind, but he clambered aboard one of the trucks just in time.

The quarrymaster only appeared in the third season episodes, One Good Turn and Heroes.

The Firelighter
The Firelighter once came to see why Gordon's fire would not light. He then found out that there were "gremlins" in Gordon's fire.

The firelighter was mentioned in Thomas Comes to Breakfast and A Scarf for Percy and later appeared in the fifth season episode, Gordon and the Gremlin.

The Special Visitor
The Special Visitor came to the Island of Sodor to build a new playground for the children as their old one had closed. He, along with the Fat Controller, utilised Harold to see possible areas for the new playground. As a result, rumours spread amongst the engines that they were to be replaced by Harold, but these were found to be untrue after Gordon's accident in a tunnel. From the crash, he found the perfect sand for the new playground and everyone smiled.

The special visitor only appeared in the fifth season episode, Thomas and the Rumours.

Mrs. Kyndley's Daughter
Mrs. Kyndley's daughter was to get married, but Mrs. Kyndley did not have a good luck package for her and so Percy found one, consisting of Thomas, Old Slow Coach, new buffers, and a flat truck.

Mrs. Kyndley's daughter only appeared in the fifth season episode, Happy Ever After.

Harry Topper

Tiger Moth's Pilot
Tiger Moth's pilot is a show-off who has a reputation of flying too low. He later got his comeuppance after he crashed into a haystack. The Fat Controller requested that the pilot be grounded.

Although the pilot only had two lines, in the fifth season episode Sir Topham Hatt's Holiday, he appears to be rather pompous and a bit of a yes-man.

The Railway Board
These are a group of men who help run the North Western Railway and make decisions about which engines to keep. For some reason, they prefer to ride in Bertie. They also look very much alike.

The Railway Board only appeared in the sixth season episode Harvey to the Rescue. They are present in the book, Thomas' Island Tour, though none are seen.

The Carpenter
In the eleventh season episode Gordon and the Engineer, a signalbox broke down, slowing traffic on the Main Line to a standstill. Gordon was asked to collect an engineer from Maron, but he mistakenly collected a carpenter, who thought Gordon was taking him to Brendam.

The Engineer
After Gordon discovered his mistake, he reversed along Thomas' line to Maron, but was stopped at Killdane by Douglas, who was stranded there. Gordon, however, had the idea of sending Douglas to Cronk to tell Donald to collect the engineer, and then ferry him up the line. The plan worked, and the line returned to normal.

He later fixed Peter Sam when he collided with some buffers and was a passenger on Bertie when he overheated. He was also one of the very important visitors that attended Dowager Hatt's tour of the island and after party.
