Beverly and Jennifer were two coaches from the mainland who were brought on trial on Edward's Branch Line while his other coaches were being repaired. The two gained a poor reputation for being rather snooty and nasty towards Edward, and were eventually sent away due to their misbehavior and troublemaking. They are the main antagonists of More Branch Line Engines.
Bio
Beverly and Jennifer were built around 1970 for use on commuter services in the United Kingdom. They were given to the Fat Controller in 1998 for a trial, where they began causing problems for Edward. They couldn't go around sharp bends easily, they had very fidgety brakes, and they complained constantly. Edward reluctantly accepted their rudeness until their misbehavior wore out his coupling. From there, Donald was assigned to them, but the coaches' poor attitude and complaining annoyed Donald greatly. Eventually, Donald's anger got the better of him, and the coaches derailed as he went too fast at a sharp bend in the track. Both Beverly and Jennifer were sent back to the mainland after the accident, although it is unknown what happened to them afterwards.
Trainz Model

Persona
