Gordon


 * '''"You're a boastful bossy big blue boiler!"

- Percy, "Respect For Gordon", Season 9

Gordon is #4 on the North Western Railway. He first appeared in "The Three Railway Engines" when he boasted to Edward about pulling the Express, but later got stuck on a hill out of spite for having to pull a goods train. That hill is now nicknamed Gordon's Hill. Other incidents include bursting his safety valve, accidentally jamming a turntable, getting his whistle jammed on and sliding into a ditch.

Gordon is based on a LNER A1/A3 4-6-2 with a six-wheeled instead of the customary eight.
