Series 1 - Episode 2

Edward is sad because he hasn't been out for a long time. The other engines are all bigger and stronger, and favoured over him -- until one day, the Driver notices how sad he is and decides to take him out for a run. But Gordon still thinks he's superior to Edward, and boasts about how grand he'll look when he rushes through the yard with the Express -- only to appear later with a goods train of very dirty trucks! Later still, Gordon stalls on a hill and Edward has to push him and his train over the top -- with very little thanks as Gordon goes speeding off on his own, leaving Edward far behind. Despite feeling unappreciated, Edward gets his reward when his Driver promises him a smart new coat of paint!
