Kenji's Coaches (T&F)

Kenji's Coaches are a set of high-speed Shinkansen coaches pulled by Kenji.

Biography
One of the coaches was brought along with Kenji when he visited Sodor for demonstration runs at The Technology Fair at Ulfstead Castle. It remained coupled to him when Baz and Bernie stole Kenji as a getaway vehicle, but as Kenji slowed due to a lack of electricity, Baz had Bernie disconnect it so that they could speed up. Bernie remained in the coach after uncoupling it, though left after it hit Thomas. It is unknown what happened to the coach after Kenji left Sodor, as it was never seen again once it was uncoupled from him.

Basis
The coaches are based on those used by the 0 Series Shinkansen, built between 1964 and 1986. Much like Kenji himself, his coaches have buffers and a tail lamp for work on Sodor.

Livery
These coaches are painted in an identical livery to Kenji himself: silver with a blue stripe along the bottom.
