Line 435:

Bill and Ben were introduced in Season 2, and have made many appearances and 2 or 3 cameos throughout the TV Series. Despite being absent in Season 8, they do appear in Season 9, which is good news for Thomas fans.

==Arthur==

Arthur is a big, maroon LMS tank engine featured in the [[Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends]] TV Series. When he arrived on the [[Island of Sodor]], he was as excited to work for [[Fat Controller|Sir Topham Hatt]] as he was proud of his famous spotless record. Only time will tell if that record will stay as spotless as Arthur would like! He was bought to shunt trucks and haul freight, but then was transferred to the Fishing Village line, in which he enjoys working on. His best friends are [[Thomas the Tank Engine]] and [[Salty the Dockyard Diesel]].

Arthur is a Fowler Tank Engine developed for the [[London Midland & Scottish Railway]]. These engines could haul heavy goods and were sometimes so good at performance, that some were used to haul passenger trains. There are many engines of this class preserved all across England. They performed so well that they survived right to the end of steam on [[British Railways]], and were one of the last classes to be ordered for scrapping.
