Rolling stock is the collective term that describes all the vehicles which move on a railway. It usually includes both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example locomotives, railroad cars, coaches and wagons. The term is sometimes used to refer only to non-powered vehicles, specifically excluding locomotives.
No railway would be complete without coaches and trucks, and those appearing in the children's television series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends are no exception. Coaches are used to carry passengers, and trucks are used to carry freight. In many episodes, coaches and/or trucks are key to the episode's plot line.
