Engines of the Month

Bill & Ben Engine of the Month - May 2007

Bio:

Bill & Ben are twin tank engines. They work in the china clay quarry and at Brendam Docks, where they are kept busy shunting trucks. They are young and cheeky and love playing jokes on the big engines, but are kept in order by Edward and BoCo.

They are painted yellow, have four wheels each and have their names attached to their sides on brown nameplates. Apart from their nameplates, they are absolutely identical -- which can be confusing to engines who don't know them well. They are smaller than the other engines they work with.


Fun Fact:
Bill & Ben are based on two 0-4-0 tank engines built by WT Bagnall's of Stafford. They worked at Par in Cornwall and were named Alfred and Judy. They are unusually low, allowing them to fit under bridges that taller engines could not.
Bill and Ben are featured on the following VHS:
