Steady Eddie

"Edward the steady, once more at the ready!"

- Edward

Steady Eddie is the second episode of the twelfth season.

Plot
Edward is told to take a brass wheel along the express line to the Waterworks, but he opts to take the branchline so the people can see him. Although Edward is warned the line ahead is bumpy, he continues onwards as the school is nearby. When the wheel begins to tear the rope, Edward goes up Gordon's Hill, but then the wheel rolls off on to some flatbeds Gordon was taking to the Smelters. Edward saves it just in time and has it chained on so it won't fall off.
