'Arry, and Bert, also known as Iron 'Arry and Iron Bert, are twin gruff diesel shunters who work at the Sodor Ironworks. As of the twelfth season, they appear to be based at the Sodor Slate Quarry. In their first appearance, 'Arry and Bert crept alongside a lonely [[Stepney]], who had mysteriously been sent to the scrapyards by mistake. They shunted Stepney into the larger smelting shed underneath a giant grabber, and threatened to scrap him. Thankfully, Stepney was saved by [[Sir Topham Hatt]], 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 lead Percy to being pushed onto the coal tipper by mistake. Later, 'Arry and Bert played the same trick on [[James]]. Sometime later, they frighted Fergus away from the smelters, and made the engines believe [[Neville]] 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 payed them back by creeping up behind them and blowing on his whistle. Later, 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 when he damaged his buffer beam.

Much later, Diesel claimed that 'Arry and Bert liked him for being "rough and tough," to which they responded in agreement, despite chasing a butterfly when they said so. Thomas later attempted to blackmail Diesel into being nice with the threat of telling everyone of his secret affection for a group of ducklings. When Diesel broke his promise, Thomas took 'Arry and Bert to see the ducklings. Although Thomas had intended to embarrass Diesel with this, the two saw 'Arry and Bert also taking a liking to the ducklings, showing that they were just as big softies as Diesel when it came to them.

After Diesel bumped Daisy and broke her springs in the process, Mavis told 'Arry and Bert that Den and Dart were having trouble repairing Daisy and said that she may have to be scrapped, horrifying them. They told this to Diesel, who thought that they were blaming him.

==Personality==

'Arry and Bert are unquestionably devious and scheming. They feel superior to steam engines and, working at the scrap yards, they enjoy the chance to break up engines, or at least make their lives more difficult. Due to their grim task, they have earned a reputation on Sodor as "The Grim Messengers of Doom." However, despite their prejudices, the diesels have co-operated with steam engines on occasions, and when they are in trouble, steam engines often come to the rescue.

Despite being villainous, 'Arry and Bert also have a tendency to act scheming, slimy, greasy, and oozy. 'Arry is usually shown to be the leader of the two, while Bert carries out most of the orders. According to their merchandise bios, they wish to scrap Oliver and Stepney, whom have escaped the cutting torch once before.

Despite their prejudices, the diesels have co-operated with steam engines on occasions. The steam engines have also often come to the rescue when they are in trouble. They also have a soft spot for ducklings and chasing butterflies, and appear to have a more caring side when it comes to hearing about a fellow diesel potentially having to be scrapped.

==Trivia==

* Arry and Bert will make their first appearance in ''[[Thomas' Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]''.
