    It really makes you wonder how the Railway Series would’ve progressed had the original designs for the characters been the standard going forward.

    If Edward was intended to be a Furness Railway K2, he has a surprising number of differences. He is sort of a generalised depiction of a Victorian/Edwardian 4-4-0, with vague elements of North Eastern and Midland designs. Ultimately I prefer the idea of Edward being a K2 as it helped more people recognise the great locos of the Furness Railway, and helps suggest Sodor is located not far off the Isle of Man.

    I’m glad I’m not the only that sees Edward lost height
  • I think the Hornby model of Midland Railway / LMS Compound 4-4-0 No. 1000 looks a lot Edward. There's an illustration of this locomotive on the footbridge at Matlock railway station. I think this would be my Edward!

    And now I shall have nightmares about sentient locomotives. Thanks.

    0:04 Is it just me or does that engine reversing look like it has big eyes?
  • Part of me thinks what engine Awdry wanted Edward to be, after all Awdry mostly didn’t have a say on the specific design of locomotives.

    This is something I see funny now I’m well aware Edward is male, but when I was little watching the model series, I thought Edward and Henry were girls because the narrator when doing their voice, it sounded a bit high-pitched and their face to me. You look like a girl when they brought in Emily. I was like confused because it already had two girls in the time I started listening to audiobooks. The railway series when I heard the narrator, describe it Edward and Henry as him
  • Simple Answer: C. Reginald Dalby can't illustrate for shit and horribly butchered Edward's appearance when it came down to the James book.

    isnt this an evolution video?
