Thomas & Friends Trivia or Fun Facts Game

In a shot involving the ferry, there is a fail where one of the engines is floating, and their wheels are absent. What is the name of the engine?

BONUS: Which country are they representing?

Since no-one else has responded. Axel & Belgium.

What was the popular nickname for the deep-red and cream colour scheme exemplified by these coaches?

It's a real life British slang term. It has no relation to The Railway Series nor Thomas & Friends (which are already gruesome enough), but I've seen it mentioned enough times to remember it.

I never knew about "Plum and Spilt Milk" though.

The packaging for which item includes the following text:

Hmmmm?
