− | '''The Mean Engines''' are a pair of tender engines who pull passenger trains on the Chinese railway. As their title suggests, they were very unkind and would often talk rudely about [[Yong Bao]] whenever they passed him in the [[Chinese Railway Shunting Yard|shunting yards]]. One day, the bigger engine came off the rails as he was pulling a passenger train through the [[Himalayas]]. Luckily, he was saved by Yong Bao, who was rewarded with a new coat of paint for his heroism and the engines apologised to him. As they have only appeared in a flashback, it is unknown if they are still working on the railway. |

Chinese Breakdown Cranes
The Chinese Breakdown Cranes are a pair of cranes that helped put Nia back on the rails after she had derailed when she was in China. During Thomas' later visit to China, the male crane had a close encounter with a runaway waterwheel built from bamboo; he inadvertently caught the wheel and threw it across the countryside. They were modifications of Judy and Jerome, with newly modelled faces, different liveries and their nameplates removed.
