Annie and Clarabel are Thomas' faithful coaches, whom he loves dearly and would never dream of being separated from them. Both have seating accommodation for carrying passengers. Clarabel also has a brake compartment for luggage and a guard. The two coaches are nearly always seen coupled together, with Annie usually facing Thomas and Clarabel facing backwards.
Biography[]
Annie and Clarabel were given to Thomas in 1924, when he was given his branch line. They operate as a push-pull set. They have had several adventures, such as losing their guard and becoming runaways.
Personalities[]
Annie and Clarabel are respectful to all of the engines, but most of all to Thomas. They show a kind and caring side to everyone on the whole railway. However, despite their kindness and sweetness, when needed they can be stern, especially Annie, however they are no saints themselves as they were among the line of rolling stock teasing Diesel and singing "Pop goes the Diesel", after he was tricked by Duck.
Technical Details[]

Livery[]
Annie and Clarabel are painted in an orange-tan livery with their names painted on their sides in white.
