Annie and Clarabel are a pair of orange-brown coaches who live on the Island of Sodor.

Personalities[]

Annie and Clarabel are very motherly and respectful towards the engines, however, they are rather prone to complaining.

Technical Details[]

Basis[]

Annie and Clarabel are based on LBSC Stroudley Coaches built between the early 1870s and late 1880s. Several coaches of this type are preserved on the Bluebell Railway and the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.

Livery[]

Both Annie and Clarabel are painted orange with grey roofs and wheels.

Appearances[]

Trivia[]

  • Although the two are more commonly used as regular passenger coaches in All Engines Go (rather than being used virtually exclusively by Thomas as in previous iterations of the franchise), the Meet the Engines book states that Thomas still works with them.
  • Unlike the original series, Annie and Clarabel have separate voice actors in the US dub instead of a shared one, more similar to the Japanese dub of the original series.
  • Annie and Clarabel are currently the only female characters created by Wilbert Awdry to appear in All Engines Go.
  • Prior to Wendy Patterson's casting in the second season, Catherine Disher and Linda Kash gave Annie and Clarabel British accents (though Clarabel's is more obvious than Annie's). After Patterson's casting, Disher and Kash gave the characters American accents, most likely to contrast Patterson's Yorkshire accent.
