Gotta fucking swear now to keep my comments :P

[@capmodesty]

Setting during Thomas and Gordon was already a great idea but then also setting it up as the reason Edward got his Branchline was a wonderful idea

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andresrios9855]

Not to mention that this is also after Edward’s story/episode: Edward and Gordon/Edward helps out.

[@PCMan8922]

Yes, finally a story of Edward getting his Branch line.

[@callumcruickshank5236]

Yeh exactly my thoughts fits so well! In my mind now this is a factual story in series one and is how he got his own branch line

[@Pyrotrainthing]

My favorite thing from the fandom has been episodes taking place during other events, helps flesh out that Sodor is a Railway with its own characters

[@jamesthomas5109]

Exactly 😊

[@danielfennessey]

I love the mashup of both Edwards and Henry's themes. It sounds so natural. And FINALLY After 40 years, Gordon's mischief from Thomas & Gordon is punished!!!

[@tonybusch8771]

I sure does. And, YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! IN YOUR FUCKING FACE, GORDON, YA BIG BLUE BULLY!!!!!!!!!

[@ryleeculla5570]

Fr a true remix

[@EnticinglyDeadly]

Man, if this was in season 1, it would have been the perfect episode to air after Edward’s Day Out and Thomas and Gordon. Even showing Edward how he was given the Wellsworth branch. It makes you feel like a kid again.

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

MY OWN OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL COMPLETELY THOUGHTFULLY THOUGHTFUL THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

[@ABellEngine]

A very excellent adaptation as usual. I like how this takes place during "Thomas & Gordon". Nice continuity.

[@hartleymartin]

I love how this story keeps continuity with the lore and adds little extra bits in keeping with the established canon. These are the best kinds of fandom stories.

[@NumberOneEngine1]

​​@@hartleymartin *I couldn't have put it better myself !!!* These types of stories are soo Goated

[@TankEngine97]

Like how this takes place during the events of Thomas and Gordon and how this gives an explanation to how Edward got his branch line.

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

I wonder if this is why James was brought on then. With Edward working a branch line, the mainline needed a new mixed traffic engine

What a brilliant story. I loved how Edward got to show how useful and reliable he is. Plus the last part at the end with Gordon being found out for his trick he played on Thomas was a surprise. This adaptation is recommended to all Thomas fans 😀.

[@tonybusch8771]

Yeah, And Gordon’s gonna be in big trouble for a very long time.

[@Brendanvio]

The music choice used for the rescue was inspired. Great mix of the Edward-Henry theme

[@munipalsfanboything]

I love seeing Gordon get reprimanded for dragging Thomas along the Main Line! I always thought it was weird that he never got reprimanded, like Gordon wasn't in the wrong for putting the little blue puffball through that kind of suffering. I mean, Thomas *DID* kinda deserve it, but I think Gordon needed some kind of punishment. Both this and Trampy finally gave justice to Thomas, and I love it! Per usual, Edward is a chad, being the best character to exist. W episode!

[@GamingDelight]

You think maybe that's why Gordon was pulling trucks instead of the express in the second half of Edward and Gordon/Edward Helps Out? Just a theory. UPDATE: I rescind. It also takes place after Edward and Gordon/Edward Helps Out.

[@munipalsfanboything]

@@GamingDelight the theory could work, seeing as how we don’t see Thomas for most of the story (besides being a background character to be jealous of Edward)

[@tonybusch8771]

Well, if you ask me, Gordon is *ENTIRELY* at fault for what he did to poor Thomas, and so, he deserves to be punished and taught a lesson for what he did. From now on, we shall all give justice to Thomas.

[@GamingDelight]

@@tonybusch8771 Thomas still should never have teased him. Then Gordon wouldn't have had to get back at him. Both were to blame.

[@GamingDelight]

​@@munipalsfanboything Then again, I could be wrong. Remember, Edward was promised a new paint job, which implies that this took place after Edward and Gordon/Edward Helps Out.

[@rainierbagatsing1073]

So that's how Edward got his branch line

[@thesudriana016]

Excellent episode! I like the setting of it taking place after Edward & Gordon and during Thomas & Gordon. Plus, having Edward earning his branch line at the end feels very satisfying (we never got a story prior in the books or the show of how Edward got one after he proved his worth from the events of the first few books). Also, Gordon's disgusted face at the end is priceless!

[@maksthethomasturningredfan2k4]

AKA Gordon's Exhausted Face

[@tonybusch8771]

Nah, It's rather a disgusted face.

[@patrickward163]

Gordon's trick could have damaged Thomas as the E2s weren't built for high speeds. Gordon did have a bit of a hiccup with Thomas, but 2 wrongs don't make a right. I am glad this shows how Edward gained his Branchline

[@tonybusch8771]

Agreed.

[@ceciasa3376]

This was awesome! Also Gordon getting into trouble for pulling Thomas along on his express was also bloody hilarious XD

[@tonybusch8771]

More like bloody satisfying XD

[@romacechina]

Fantastic episode, I really love how you weave this story into taking place during the events of Thomas and Gordon. Showing how Gordon getting back at Thomas led to Edward having to do Thomas's work around the main station, which then led to Edward helping Henry, suffering from the coal. With a nice callback/call forward in the TV timeline to them pulling together the Express. Ending nicely with Thomas and Gordon coming back to the station with Gordon ending up getting into trouble for the mess he caused in Thomas and Gordon. Edward being awarded for his branchline, which fits nicely into the series timeline, since the series never showed him being awarded it or moving there. But just having him there in later episodes. You have done it again mate, told a great story that adds to season one of the show, nicely filling in gaps and enhancing the narration, characters even more. These to me are canon Thomas works and I have them as part of my watch for the first two seasons of Thomas.

[@tonybusch8771]

Oh yeah, And Gordon’s gonna be punished for his cruel behavior and reckless actions for a very long time, while, on the other hand, Thomas is gonna be shown sympathy and be given a much-needed break from shunting and Edward’s gonna be given a new coat of paint, and both are gonna be given their very own branchlines.

[@josephilsley3028]

Great to have stories like these presented in the style of Series 1. I'd quite like to see certain Series 3+4 episodes recreated in this style. E.g: Henry and The Elephant - A Scarf For Percy (AKA Percy and The Trousers) - Paint Pots and Queens. Reason being that these stories, along with existing Series 1 adaptations are featured together in early volumes of The Railway Series.

[@FlyingFoxProductions4475]

Makes for a good story having this set during "Thomas Gets Tricked". Seeing a dirty Edward do all the work as a result of Gordon's prank sure is nice.
