Cassia is a rolling portal crane in who works at Guanabara Bay in Brazil. She is good friends with Gabriela.

Cassia is a strong and steady crane, who moves cargo carefully from ships onto the trucks of waiting trains (albeit not without the occasional scrape). She enjoys working to a musical rhythm, such as the Batucada and Bossa nova tunes of Brazil. When there is no music, she will find her own from sounds all around the docks!

Cassia is based on a Chinese portal crane built by Krane, which is extensively used to load and unload at ports and material handling at shipyards and metallurgy industry. Carly is another member of this class.

First named appearance May 2019 (series 23 episode 4).

Hmmm and future love interest of Cranky? Big Grin

That moment when Carly never had any merchandise, yet one of her recolours suddenly gets a physical item. Strange Mattel logic...

I'd expect too many of these will be repainted to resemble Carly since she came first and is on Sodor.

To clarify the above:

In Big World! Big Adventures! 2018, (in which she is not named), Cassia is painted dark orange with yellow hazard stripes along the underside of her body. Her cab roof is blue, as are her safety rails and access steps.

As of the twenty-third TV series, 2019, she has been repainted. She is now a slightly brighter shade of orange and her cab roof is orange instead of blue, though the yellow hazard stripes underneath her body remain, as do the blue safety railings and access steps.

Neither of them are much like the lurid shiny red of the merchandise.

Trouble brewing down at the docks..............?

He wasn't named either, but the mobile game Thomas & Friends Adventures calls him Kobe (the only time he was ever referred to by name). He is an "African" recolour of Big Mickey at Dar es Salaam Docks.

I am not surprise.  A couple years ago, Jerome was made available in the form of trackmaster while his twin sister Judy wasn't available.
