Marcia and Marcio/Behind the Scenes

Television Series
Marcia and Marcio are two fictional wood-burning tender engines created by Davey Moore.

In 2020, Marcia and Marcio made their debut and only appearance in the twenty-fourth series of Thomas & Friends in the episode, Thomas and the Forest Engines.

Marcia and Marcio are voiced by Laura Cucurullo and Federico Trujillo on both sides of the Atlantic.

Marcia and Marcio are based on the Associação Brasileira de Preservação Ferroviária (ABPF) wood-burning engine No. 215 Maria Fumaça, built in 1912 by Baldwin Locomotive Works in the United States and exported to Brazil.

CGI Model
In 2009, the series introduced Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. In 2019, Marcia and Marcio were created from scratch in CGI by Jam Filled Toronto for the twenty-fourth series. The model was "hand-sculpted" in Maya, a 3D animation and modelling software.

Some parts of Marcia and Marcio's models are reused from Beau. These include:
 * Their bells.
 * Their cylinders.
 * Their wheels.
 * Their buffer beams and cowcatchers, albeit with added screwlink couplings.
 * Their tenders, albeit with added railings and canopies.
 * Their tail lamps, which are actually reused from James' headlamp from James in the Dark.
