Edward

People say I'm old-fashioned, but I don't care. The Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt says I'm a Useful Engine.

Edward is a blue mixed-traffic tender engine that works on the North Western Railway and is Sir Topham Hatt's number two engine. He runs his branch line with BoCo, which travels from Wellsworth to Brendam and is one of the oldest engines on Sodor and is occasionally made fun of for his age.

In early 2021, Edward was modelled by LegosiBoi with a gigantic dome (as seen in a Beta development thumbnail), then was resized by an update. In a full release, the model was later updated by VickPenguin.

In 2022, Edward has a few realistic faces updated by Caboom. But later, Chu09 improved a realistic face with shade in 2023.

In mid-2023, Edward was later re-modelled himself by Caboom.

On 9 December 2022, Nouriel2005 announced that the original model was scrapped for Edward and later re-used from James' Chassis.

On 9 January 2023, Edward was fully modelled by Nouriel2005, using James' model to reshape the body for him.

These locomotives were built in two batches: the first of six in 1896, with two extra members of the class being built in late 1900. All eight of the locomotives survived into the 1923 grouping and lasted through to the late 1920s and early 1930s, performing secondary duties around Barrow-In-Furness. In real life, all of the K2s were scrapped, with none surviving into preservation, through an engine with a nearly identical shape preserved at a museum in the Netherlands. Visible Modification for Edward include:

Edward has painted in NWR cerulean with red lining on his cab, splashers, tender and boiler and yellow lining around his windows. His number, two, is painted on his tender in yellow with a red outline. He has a white running board with red buffer beams and valences.
