 click to enlarge | Thomas & Friends LC99001 - Thomas the Tank Engine Thomas is a good-natured, friendly little tank engine. Tank engines like Thomas do not use tenders because they carry their coal onboard and carry water in tanks around their boilers. Thomas is occasionally cheeky. At times, he’s so impatient to try things the big engines do that he gets himself into trouble. But he does try hard to be helpful and useful. Despite being small, Thomas proved himself to be a Really Useful Engine by helping put things right after James had an accident. Sir Topham Hatt was so pleased, he rewarded Thomas with his very own branch line. Thomas puffs proudly back and forth on his line with his friends, the coaches Annie and Clarabel. Includes 1 Thomas the Tank Engine. | $8.95 In stock, usually ships the next business day |

Annie can only carry passengers. She always rides right behind Thomas and travels facing forward. Clarabel can carry passengers, luggage, and the Guard, and travels facing backwards. Includes 1 Annie coach and 1 Clarabel coach. | $18.95 In stock, usually ships the next business day |
