Changes: 4-Plank Trucks

Revision as of 12:41, 4 August 2020

Main Page

4-plank trucks are a bit smaller than 7-plank trucks. They are often used for mining. The Sodor China Clay Company owns some. A Midland truck appeared in the first and second series, then reappeared in the Sixth series episode, Salty's Secret. A North Eastern truck appeared from the first series through to the third. In the third series episode Oliver Owns Up, it gained a face.

According to Salty, these were one of the types of trucks that knew his secret.

Personalities

One has been seen amongst the Troublesome Trucks and these trucks are therefore cheeky and troublesome.

Technical Details

Basis

These trucks are based on LMS 4 plank open wagons.

Livery

The colour of the trucks may vary. Some are painted plain grey, while some are orange or red. One has the letters 'NE' written in white and another has "LMS" written in white.
