The Horrid Lorries

The Horrid Lorries, individually referred to as Lorry 1, Lorry 2 and Lorry 3, are three small lorries who were incredibly rude to the engines.

Personalities
The Lorries were arrogant, mean and rude towards the engines. They believed that the railway was inferior to the roadways and also enjoyed teasing the engines for their appearances. They were also very careless.

Basis
The lorries seem to be based on Foden OG range lorries, which were once a common sight around railway yards.

Livery
The Horrid Lorries are painted a brownish-red. Their registration plates are black with white lettering reading "LOR" followed by their respective numbers. They sometimes have grey tarpaulins over their flatbeds.

The lorries have also been seen in several other liveries aside from the standard brownish-red one and have been accompanied by other lorries in other medias:
 * In the Thomas Visits the Docks puzzle and an official 65th anniversary board game, Lorry 1 is painted green.
 * In the Round the Rails board game, while Lorry 1 is painted red, Lorries 2 and 3 are painted yellow and dark green respectively. There is also a "Lorry 4" painted blue. Each lorry was painted different colours to make them distinguishable from one another.
 * Another Horrid Lorry, painted yellow, is seen at the crossing in the book, Thomas and Toby.
 * In various magazines and books, the lorries are often seen without their registration plates.

Trivia

 * The Official Website, as well as various magazine articles and file facts, state that the Lorries were "especially built to work at Sodor Construction Company". It is therefore possible that they may have been originally intended to be a part of the Pack.
 * A similar looking lorry appeared in the magazine story, The Carnival. However, this Lorry was introduced four months before the fifth season episode, Horrid Lorry, in which the Horrid Lorries made their debut appearances.
 * Their engine sounds are shared with Bertie.
 * Lorry 1 was the only one to be made in all merchandising ranges the Lorries were released in.
 * Each lorry has individually shaped noses and eyebrows. However, there has been several instances in which the lorries share the same style facemasks.
