"Well, well, well! The Brothers Grim: Smashed, Broken, and Sunk!"

— Thomas, Horrid Lorry, fifth season

The Horrid Lorries

Registration numbers: LOR 1, LOR 2,and LOR 3

The Horrid Lorries, individually referred to as Lorry 1, Lorry 2, and Lorry 3, are three small lorries.

Bio

When Percy was late one day, Cranky suggested that a lorry could do his work. True to his word, three red, incredibly rude lorries arrived the next day. They called Percy a "little green goblin on wheels", insulted Thomas and James, and told Toby to "toodle off to a museum". Of course, all three got their comeuppance in due course: One fell off a mountainside, one broke down after being overloaded with flour, and one reversed into the sea. They were sent away, but not before being nicknamed "Smashed", "Broken", and "Sunk" by Thomas.

Persona

The lorries are mean and rude to the engines. They like to tease them and get them into trouble.

Basis

The lorries are based on AEC Hanson lorries.

Livery

The Horrid Lorries are painted red. They sometimes have grey hoods over their beds.
