― A slate truck^[src]

The North Western Railway owns a few slate trucks. Although they are designed to transport slate and slabs, they have also been seen transporting crates. Two of these were a part of the train Thomas took to the Mainland.

Technical Details[]

Basis[]

The slate trucks are based on the 2-bar wooden slate wagons of the Talyllyn Railway, scaled up accordingly. Two extra wooden planks are also present on one end to allow room for a face.

Livery[]

The slate trucks are painted white with dark grey beds and black frames.

Appearances[]

Thomas & Friends[]

Voice Actors[]

Lucy Montgomery (Journey Beyond Sodor)

Trivia[]

The slate trucks are the first trucks to have a completely different face design, compared to former trucks in the CGI series.
- They share this design with the Tankers and Mine Trolleys.
The trucks were last seen in test preview footage for Big World! Big Adventures!, however they were absent in the finished product.
