Thomas the Tank Engine Wikia

Bill and Ben are twin engines: identical in every way and, it is fair to say, probably the most teasing and mischievous characters of the whole Railway family. They wear big identical grins and work mostly between the clay pits of the Sodor China Clay Company and the harbour, which is just as well, since time spent in their company too long drives the senior engines to distraction.


Did you know? Bill and Ben's names are likely a reference to Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men, a pair of mischievous twins from the 1952 British children's show, Flower Pot Men.
