Troublesome Trucks
From Thomas the Tank Engine Wikia
- "Percy's much too busy to be bothered with the likes of you!"
- — Oliver, "Oliver's Find", fifth season
"Troublesome Trucks" are so nicknamed because they can be quite troublesome and love to play tricks. No one - save for Edward, Stepney and Salty - likes them, as they have been the cause of many accidents.
There have, however, been some cases where the trucks and engines are on the same side.
Persona
Trucks could be considered the rebels of the railway, as most of them love to cause mischief and trouble. They will play tricks on an engine based on how they treat them. Most accidents caused by the trucks are a form of revenge due to mistreatment. If an engine is having a bad day, makes a mistake or is easily played upon, then the trucks begin their wild antics of singing, name calling, holding back, shoving, bumping, giggling and so on.
