![]() In 2007, Edward recognized an old coach named Victoria from his days on the Furness Railway. He was going so fast that one of his bogie wheels came loose, and it soon fell off and landed in a field of cabbages. In 1995, Edward was delayed by James, and had to make up for lost time. BoCo looked after the Branch Line while Edward was repaired. In 1965, while taking a group of railway enthusiasts home, Edward's crank pin snapped, and had to be taken off in order for Edward to finish the journey. These two proved to be very mischievous, and Edward and BoCo had to try to keep them in order. The other two were twin engine Bill and Ben. One of these engines was a friendly diesel named BoCo. Other engines soon came along to work on this line. In 1948, Edward received his own line in the form of the Brendam Branch. As a reward, Edward was sent to have his worn parts replaced. The following year, when James ran away down the Main Line, Edward was sent to the rescue, and successfully prevented a serious accident. In 1953, Edward saved an old traction engine named Trevor from being scrapped. Gordon and Henry made fun of him for this, but soon stopped once they became scared of a cow looking for her calf. He soon proved that he was a hard worker, as made evident when he pushed Gordon up a hill.Īs more engines began to arrive, such as Thomas and James, Edward proved himself more and more useful, but he started to make strange clanking sounds. In 1923, Edward was moved to Vicarstown, where the other engines there made fun of him for his age. After the work was complete, the Funress Railway did not want Edward back, and he was bought by the North Western. In 1915, he was loaned to the Island of Sodor to help build the North Western Railway. ![]() Edward was built in Glasgow, Scotland at Atlas Works in 1896, and worked on the Furness Railway. ![]()
