Edward & Gordon (RS - HD)

I do not own Thomas The Tank Engine! It is owned by HIT Entertainment and this video is purely for viewing purposes.

Air Date: 9/9/1984

Narrator - Ringo Starr (UK)

Series 1 - Episode 2

Edward is sad because he hasnt been out for a long time. The other engines are all bigger and stronger, and favoured over him until one day, the Driver notices how sad he is and decides to take him out for a run. But Gordon still thinks hes superior to Edward, and boasts about how grand hell look when he rushes through the yard with the Express only to appear later with a goods train of very dirty trucks! Later still, Gordon stalls on a hill and Edward has to push him and his train over the top with very little thanks as Gordon goes speeding off on his own, leaving Edward far behind. Despite feeling unappreciated, Edward gets his reward when his Driver promises him a smart new coat of paint!

2:30 Gordon is supposed to carry a train, but you can definitely see he's not!

@stingrayfan2007 Also, at 4:09 if an engine went through a turnout or switch (in real life) at THAT kind of speed, no doubt they would have derailed!!! One of my friends saw an Amtrak Regional train rocket through a 40 mph limit switch at an overspeed of 70 mph!!! It wasn't pretty!! :O (fortunately, the train didn't derail, but that was definitely a close one!!)

@stingrayfan2007 Haha lol they probably had a hat with all the engines names and they picked one at random!! I can imagine it now!! :D "Dammit!! Not the shocked Percy face on Edward AGAIN!?!??!" :) :D XD

@trinityct Makes u wonder,maybe in those days they picked the engine's faces at random

During the pit where Edward reaches the top of the hill he is wearing a rare shocked face,and if u look carefully at it apart from the nose it looks like it could be a prototype face for percy.

@stingrayfan2007 hehe I noticed! I wonder if the editors ever saw their error! :D

[stingrayfan2007]

@trinityct It's james's face,if u look otehr scenes edward's is more pointy while james's is round

I always thought Edward was very friendly. It's a real shame that he wasn't in Thomas & The Magic Railroad. It's because the model of him while the movie was getting created wasn't finished on time.

Classic Thomas is the best. I know tech is better then the 80's and 90's but I think it can stand the test of time!

"They were all bigger than Edward."

Er, no, they're not! Thomas isn't!
