 * Emily the Stirling Single: Karen Gillan - The series' female protagonist. TBA. In this universe, she works in his branch line at Ffarquhar alongside Percy (who sees her as his mother figure similarly to Edward and Thomas's father-son relationship) and Toby, as she's a bit smaller than other tender engines and his duty as her protector.

 * Rosie the Lavender Engine: Chloe Grace Moretz - A lively little tank engine and station pilot of the Main Line. She had a rivalry with Emily over Thomas' affection in a pilot episode, though after she helped him rescue her, they became firm friends and she established a brother-sister relationship with him.
 * Molly the Yellow Engine: Nicola Stapleton - A female tender engine, who is the newest member and shy/sensitive, getting easily embarrased or upset by conflict and sometimes feeling afraid of her own strength.

Narrow Gauge Engines

 * Peter Sam: Chris Pratt - Named Stuart under the supervision of Duke, he is extremely enthusiastic, eager and bubbly, despite being occasionally cheeky and somewhat prone to being a little naive at times, but kind-hearted, well-meaning and good mannered.
 * Rusty the Little Diesel: Billy Crystal - A diesel engine who does maintenance work and odd jobs on the Skarloey Railway, being trusty, quick-thinking and a dedicated worker who often ends up in arguments with Duncan. While he was portrayed as gender-neutral in the original television series, he is male like in the Railway Series books.
 * Duncan: Mike Myers - A grumpy Scottish engine, who has a strong temper and rough manners, being prone to boisterously bouncing about, which became known as "rock 'n rolling", which once led to wedging in the north mouth of Rheneas Tunnel and derailing on a stretch of line near Crosn-ny-Cuirn.
 * Duke the Lost Engine: Dustin Hoffman - One of the oldest, wisest and most experienced engines of the Skarloey Railway, who is also the mentor of Peter Sam and Sir Handel from their younger days on the Mid Sodor Railway.

Trivia

 * Unlike the theatrical film in which is a live-action/CGI hybrid, the television series is fully computer-animated, while using models, elements, environments and such Pixar originally created for that.
 * In addition to remaking the plots from previous Thomas storylines, the series also adapts newer, yet interesting storylines that aren't adapted as well (albeit with changes to reflect with the 1940s-50s time period of the series).
 * During the series' development, following a movie/film's success in box office and critical reception, Disney acquired the franchise's distribution rights from Mattel (still listing HiT Entertainment as special thanks), while Richard Awdry, Christopher's son, continues The Railway Series with an adaptation of the film itself, titled "Thomas and the Great War".
