― Gordon's Coaches

The Green Express Coaches are non-corridor bogie express coaches used by the North Western Railway. They are usually used for the Express and can often be seen being hauled by either Gordon or Rebecca.

Biography

Thomas & Friends

The green coaches have appeared since the first series and are primarily used for the express. These coaches are commonly pulled by Edward, Henry, Gordon, James and Rebecca. Thomas and Emily have also pulled these coaches on a few occasions. Whiff has also pulled these coaches at least once. Between the thirteenth and fifteenth series, the coaches seemed to be exclusive to Gordon as he was the only engine ever seen pulling them. Since the sixteenth series, however, other engines have occasionally been seen pulling them again.

There are at least six composite coaches and two brake coaches as seen in Meet the Steam Team, with two rakes being pulled by Rebecca and Gordon with three composites each alongside a brake coach.

The coaches have been through several incidents throughout history, such as being derailed at Knapford by a defiant act on Thomas's part, having been taken by an oblivious Samson to the Blue Mountain Quarry mistakenly, being pulled by Thomas and leaving several passengers scattered before a party, being pulled by Percy when Dowager Hatt was temporarily running the railway, being coupled to Spencer and taken to Callan Castle, and having fish wagons coupled behind them for an entire express run. Duck also asked to borrow them for taking school children, but Gordon refused before the pannier tank finished.

Personality

Between the first and third series, these coaches were sentient despite not having faces. Like many coaches on Sodor, they do not appreciate being bumped by an engine and if they are not handled properly, they can get back at their engine.

Technical Details

Basis

The models of the coaches were based upon SR Maunsell Coaches without corridors. They have broad windows on the corridor side and narrow windows on the compartment side.

In the first series, Tenmille-manufactured Maunsell Coaches were used as the coaches, albeit shortened by cutting out a set of windows in the center of the sides. In the second series, new coaches were made but were unmodified and thus retained their original length. Newer coaches were yet again introduced in Thomas and the Magic Railroad, shortened as well, but this time removing sections off the ends of the coaches.

Since the CGI Series, the coach designs had been altered to be much taller and thinner compared to the previous ones. In addition the corridor windows were mirrored on the opposite side of the coaches. Inside the coaches, the corridors have been removed and the compartments have open backs, similar to early 4-wheeled coaching stock.

Livery

The original coaches from the first series were painted dark green with cream window surrounds and grey rooftops. The longer coaches introduced in the second series had white window surrounds with black rooftops. They were painted into a first series style livery in the third series.

By Thomas and the Magic Railroad, the coaches gained a yellow stripe running down each side.

The Buffet Coach has "BUFFET" written on its sides in white. In Best Birthday Ever!, Emily is seen pulling a coach with "Sodor Railway Company" written on its sides in yellow.

Official Description

• 1983

From Official Media:[1]

“

These coaches were cleared for running over the entire Southern Railway system but were used specifically on the Hastings line, frequently hauled by "Schools Class" locos. Trains were made up usually of several three-coach units, consisting of two Brakes and one Composite.

From Official Media:[2]

“

Express Coaches: The Express Coaches are a great favorite with the passengers because they ride so smoothly and have extra comfortable seats. Historical Note: The Express Coaches are similar to the passenger coaches used by the LMS in the 1950s.

”

Trivia

• In total, the railway has at least six composite coaches and two brake coaches as seen in Meet the Steam Team.
• Between the thirteenth and fifteenth series, the coaches appear to be exclusive to Gordon, whereas previously they had also been seen being used by other engines. Since the sixteenth series, other engines have occasionally been seen pulling them again.
• Since the switch to full CGI production in 2009, several of the coaches' models have been sold off or sent to various places:
  • Two of the coaches from the HiT Entertainment model series is owned by Twitter user TomsProps.
  • Two composite coaches and one brake coach used to be on display at Drayton Manor and one formerly displayed at Nitrogen Studios.
  • Before Tim Reynolds' Twitter account, tim_XLVI, was deleted, he posted a picture of a Series 2 express coach without its axles and wheels. He was one of the original production crew members on the original model series. He acquired the model during a cleanout at Shepperton Studios and kept it under his bed. This coach is currently owned by Twitter user ThomasTankMerch.
• The express coaches are based on different coaches in various merchandise ranges:
  • In the Hornby range, they are based on GWR Collett 'Bow Ended' Corridor coaches.
  • In the Bachmann range, they are based on LMS Period 1 coaches.
  • In the Capsule Plarail range, they were based on JNR Coaches from the mainstream Capsule Plarail range.
  • In the Motorized, Tomica and Wood ranges, they are based on LBSC Stroudley Coaches. They were also illustrated as LBSC Stroudley Coaches in the earlier magazines stories and later books.
  • In the My Thomas Story Library and Engine Adventures books, they are illustrated as BR Mark 1 coaches.
