| - 'Arry and Bert are two diesel engines who work at the smelters. They are voiced by Kerry Shale and William Hope in both UK and US. They are two of the second main antagonists.
- In their first appearance, 'Arry and Bert crept alongside a lonely Stepney, who had mysteriously been sent to the smelters by mistake. They shunted Stepney into the larger smelting shed underneath a giant grabber, and threatened to scrap him. Thankfully, Stepney was saved by the Fat Controller, once the diesels had left. Despite being villainous, 'Arry and Bert are also known for playing tricks on steam engines, such as making them "middle engines". Once, they shunted trucks in front and behind Percy. This later led Percy to being pushed onto the coal tipper by mistake. Later, 'Arry and Bert played the same trick on James. Sometime later, they frightened Fergus away from the smelters, and bullied Neville, which made the engines think he was planning to bump them. On some occasions, 'Arry and Bert's teasing ways backfire. Once, they played a ghostly prank on Thomas and Emily during Halloween, though they ran away when they thought Emily was a ghost. Another time, 'Arry and Bert teased Percy for having a whistle. Percy paid them back by creeping up behind them and blowing on his whistle. Later, along with Diesel, 'Arry and Bert began teasing Thomas for being smelly, but were later covered in stinky cheese. 'Arry and Bert were also part of the group of diesels that took over the Sodor Steamworks. They later teased Henry because of the coal he had to use by calling him "Mr. Special Steam". They also laughed at Gordon after he ran into Diesel's flatbed and damaged his bufferbeam. In the twentieth season, 'Arry and Bert like rough and tough along with Diesel, they realise Diesel is trying to be nice to everyone. So Thomas takes 'Arry and Bert to the ducklings while Diesel followed behind them. Diesel, 'Arry and Bert realise the ducklings were cute.
- 'Arry and Bert are 2 gruff diesel twins who work for the Sodor Ironworks at the smelters. They also appear to be working at the Sodor Slate Quarry.
