Northstar Coaches

The Northstar Coaches are a pair of faceless coaches. They usually work with Lucas and, on occasion, Montana pulls them around.

Personalities
Like most of the Thomas And Friends coaches, these coaches will be faceless but able to speak.

Basis
The Northstar Coaches are based on the Bombardier Bi-Level Coaches. The BiLevel coaches were designed by Toronto's regional commuter rail service, GO Transit and Hawker Siddeley Canada in the mid-1970s as a more efficient replacement for GO's original single-deck coaches and cab cars. Later coaches were manufactured by Urban Transportation Development Corporation/Can-Car and finally Bombardier, who now owns the designs and manufacturing facility. There are more than seven hundred such coaches in service today and almost all have been built at the company's Thunder Bay, Ontario, and Plattsburgh, New York, plants.

Livery
The coaches are painted blue with a yellow stripe on the bottom half and a white stripe on the top half.

Trivia

 * The coaches originated from the Northstar Line built by Metro Transit. Other characters from the line include Lucas and Emmet.
