The Circus Clowns[]
The Circus Clowns were a group of at least four clowns who perform at circus shows. Mr. Bubbles was among the group.
Biography[]
When the clowns visited the Island of Sodor, Thomas was tasked with taking them, along with the circus train, to the circus grounds. On the way, Thomas' side rods broke and his driver had to telephone for help. While waiting, the clowns practised in the field for their show, however, it did not make Thomas feel better. When Percy and James arrived, they enjoyed watching the clowns practising and after Thomas' side rods were replaced, the two helped Thomas with transporting the clowns and the train to the circus grounds.
