Jinty and Pug are two LMS tank engines from British Railways. They are friends of Percy.
Biography
The Railway Series
In 1956, they were borrowed from British Railways to run the North Western Railway while Sir Topham Hatt's engines visited the Mainland. Jinty ran Thomas' Branch Line while Thomas was away and also helped the latter when he crashed into some buffers.
It is possible that Percy knows them from taking trains to the end of the line and telling the other engines stories, like at the beginning of Percy Takes the Plunge.
Technical Details
Basis
Jinty is based on an LMS 3F 0-6-0T. Pug is based on an LMS 0F Kitson 0-4-0ST. Their names originate from their classes' nicknames "Jinty" and "Pug". A total of nine 3F 0-6-0 tank engines survive in preservation whereas all 0F Kitsons were scrapped.
