Edward

Edward is a FR K2 "Larger Seagull" on the North Western Railway. He arrived on Sodor in 1915 shortly after the arrival of Thomas. Even though, the tank engine was young and Edward tutored him until he got used to work on the railway. Edward is in charge of the Brendam Branch Line, running it with BoCo. Donald and Douglas also work on this branch on certain occasions. In addition, Bill and Ben are private engines from the Sodor China Clay Company that work at the China Clay Works, located on his branch line.

Basis
Edward arrived to Sodor in the normal Furness Railway K2 Class's (nicknamed "Larger Seagull") shape. At an unspecified date, most likely between 1915 and 1923, Edward was given a moderate rebuild with a new cab design, as well as the addition of a Fowler tender. He has remained in this shape ever since.

Livery
Edward's arrival livery was the livery that Furness Railway Engines mostly have: red. He was repainted blue shortly after his arrival prior to being rebuilt, and remained with the same livery after it.
