- “Hullo, Jinty! Hullo, Pug! They're friends of mine. I don't know the others.”
- ― Percy, The Eight Famous Engines
Template:Infobox character Template:Infobox character Jinty and Pug are two tank engines that were borrowed from the British Railways to run the North Western Railway while Sir Topham Hatt's engines visited the mainland. Jinty ran Thomas' Branch Line while Thomas was away and also helped Thomas when the latter crashed into some buffers and laughed rudely at him.
It is possible that Percy knows them from taking trains to the end of the line and telling the other engines stories, like at the beginning of Percy Takes the Plunge.
