The Hot Air Balloon is a tiny air balloon received as a global event prize. It has 1 slot for a passengers. It is unique because it has a weight of 0.0 tons. That means there is no cost to fly it, you profit whatever the passenger on it paid. The downside is that it is really slow. It takes about 6 hours to go from London to Tokyo even at speed level 3.

- The hot air balloon came to Sodor primarily to carry holidaymakers. James and Thomas were jealous because they thought it would steal their passengers, but soon came to like it after James accidentally re-inflated it with his steam. It still carries passengers around, providing a rather different view of Sodor. It runs all over sodor.
- In its first appearance, James and Thomas were jealous of the balloon because they thought it would steal their passengers until Sir Topham Hatt explained that it would attract more passengers to the Island. The balloon fell on top of James after it ran out of hot air. James was petrified, and let off a huge burst of steam, which invariably blew the balloon back up again.

- In its first appearance, James and Thomas were jealous of the balloon because they thought it would steal their passengers until Sir Topham Hatt explained that it would attract more passengers to the Island. The balloon fell on top of James after it ran out of hot air. James was petrified, and let off a huge burst of steam, which invariably blew the balloon back up again. Later on, Sir Topham Hatt and Lady Hatt used the balloon to transport to them to the grand opening of Rumblin Bridge station as Harold was having engine trouble. Unfortunately, the balloon's burner runs out of fuel and crashes into a tree. Skarloey saw the damaged balloon and offered to take the Hatts to the grand opening instead. In its last appearance, Mr. Percival arranged for a special balloon ride for Pansy and Patrick's birthday. However, Duncan accidentally caused the balloon to crash into the weather-vane on Mr. Percival's house, tearing a hole through the material. Realising the error of his ways, Duncan collected a balloon repair man, who had little hope of repairing the balloon until Duncan suggested using a birthday flag to repair the damage.
