Fuel tankers

Template:Infobox character The fuel tankers are painted yellow with pictures of fire in red diamonds and "SODOR FUEL" in black on both sides. They are used to transport fuel. In the thirteenth season, the words "Sodor Fuel" were removed and a red gas can has taken their place.

Trivia

  • Fuel has also been transported in black tankers, and yellow tankers without any labels.
  • The title "Sodor Fuel" is an in-joke. Apparently it was supposed to sound like "Sod off, you all."

Oil tankers

Template:Infobox character The oil tankers are painted black with "OIL" in white on the side. There are also a number of older, dirtier oil tankers that can be seen around Sodor. The utmost care must be taken with these in case of fire, as James once found out when his tankers caught fire. Up until Hero of the Rails, the oil tankers just said "OIL" but this was changed to an oil rig with oil coming out of it on a golden circle.
