Edward Strikes Out

"What's a new-funneled nuisance?"

- Percy to Edward

Edward Strikes Out is the thirteenth episode of the tenth season.

Plot
Edward and Gordon see Rocky the new breakdown crane at Brendam and dismiss him as "new-fangled nonsense". Edward later has to pull some pipes and Rocky asks to help. Edward ignores him, but sets off without having the pipes secured. While stopping for a signal, the trucks jerk forwards and the pipes spill onto the rails. Harvey comes to help, but can only lift one pipe at a time. When Gordon comes round a bend too fast and crashes into the pipes, Edward realises that only Rocky can lift him and gets him from Brendam. Rocky clears the lines in little time, and Edward learns that he spoke too soon.
