Steam Team

The Steam Team are originally the eight core characters of the new series, first implemented in HIT's first season, Season 8. The Steam Team consists of:
 * 1) Thomas
 * 2) Edward
 * 3) Henry
 * 4) Gordon
 * 5) James
 * 6) Percy
 * 7) Toby
 * 8) Emily

Much dispute has been created since the inclusion of Emily as the eighth member of the Steam Team - who was originally said to have replaced Duck.

There is also dispute upon the number of Steam Team members. Before Emilys' arrival, there were, after Emily's arrival and still are eleven of the Fat Controllers' engines, in number order, which could be generally counted but are not officially part of the Steam Team. These engines are:
 * 8. Duck (formerly Montague)
 * 9. Donald
 * 10. Douglas
 * 11. Oliver
