This page is for all named or speaking characters introduced in Thomas Runs with the SCMaglev.

Technical Details[]
Real-Life History[]
C62 1 and C62 2 are other members of this class.
Livery[]
Reiji is painted black.
Appearances[]
Trivia[]
- Reiji is likely named after Leiji Matsumoto (spelled "Matsumoto Reiji" using Hepburn romanisation), the creator of the Galaxy Express 999 manga series, the titular locomotive of which is also a JNR C62 class.
Taita[]
Taita (Japanese: タイタ) is a narrow gauge tank engine from Japan who lives at the SCMaglev and Railway Park.
Technical Details[]
Real-Life History[]
Ke 90 was originally built as the Tōnō Railway's No. 1 and a member of its A Class, alongside sister locomotive No. 2. Both locomotives were constructed by Dai-Nippon Kidō Tekkōbu and were completed in time for the railway's opening ceremony on 28 December 1918.
Following the absorption of the Tōnō Railway into the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on 25 September 1926, No. 1 was renumbered Ke 90. The locomotive continued use on the railway until 30 September 1928, when the line was re-gauged. Following this, it was kept at Hamamatsu Works, partially sectioned to help teaching engineers. Ke 90 is currently preserved in this form at the SCMaglev and Railway Park.
Livery[]
Taita is painted black with white valences.
Appearances[]
Trivia[]
- While Taita is shown complete in Thomas Runs with the SCMaglev, the real Ke 90 is currently sectioned to show the inner workings of a steam locomotive to visitors.
- Taita is named after the Taita Line, part of which runs over the trackbed of the Tōnō Railway, where Taita's basis originally worked.
- Taita is the first explicitly female new character introduced in the Thomas X Japan series.

Ryusei[]
Ryusei (Japanese: リュウセイ) is a high-speed maglev from Japan who runs on the Yamanashi Maglev Test Track.
Technical Details[]
Basis[]
Ryusei is based on an L0 series Maglev. This is a high-speed maglev being developed and tested by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central). In particular, Ryusei is based on the L22-951 lead car built by Hitachi, Ltd. in 2020 as an improved version of the L0 series.
The L0 series uses a maglev system called SCMaglev, developed by JR Central and the Railway Technical Research Institute. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi, Ltd. and Nippon Sharyo, a subsidiary of JR Central, are building sixteen pre-production vehicles. JR Central plans to use the L0 series on the Chūō Shinkansen line between Tokyo and Osaka, which is currently under construction.
Livery[]
Ryusei is painted white with dark blue stripes.
Appearances[]
Trivia[]
- Ryusei's face placement is unconventional by the franchise's standards, as it not only replaces the cab's front window, but is slanted at an extreme upward angle. This is due to the fact that, unlike Kenji, whose basis has a rounded nose where a face could easily be placed, Ryusei's basis has no such area for a Thomas-styled face, and the front window of his basis is fitted with a forward-facing camera for remote running, with his own eyes as its counterpart.
