James is a medium-sized engine. He has six driving wheels, each is bigger than Thomas's but is smaller than Gordon's.
James likes to think that he is a really splendid-looking engine because he has bright red paint and a really shiny brass dome.
James shares his shed with five other engines. They are:
| Thomas | (Engine Number 1) |
| Edward | (Engine Number 2) |
| Henry | (Engine Number 3) |
| Gordon | (Engine Number 4) |
| Percy | (Engine Number 6) |
