Engine arrival: Eric

Year: 1931
The farm trains are ever increasing, and Percy begins to struggle with them. A new engine is needed. Like before, Topham goes to his index to try to find some. However, actually acquiring the locomotive, did include Gordon doing something he didn’t think he would do so soon.

17:48-18:10 is the saddest scene I've ever seen. I almost cried for Eric 😢😢😢

[@TanYiPan]

Eric's story and Grodon's chracter development were impressive

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

Indeed

[@aplane9625]

Grodon is an amazing character 😂

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

I personally just suddenly couldn't agree more on that officially well-known observation!

[@-LLAMA-]

Dude, this was so sweet🥰. I love how much Gordon has matured in this series. He has no problem teaching an engine like Eric how to shunt, and he stands his ground. He truly is growing as a character.

[@InventorZahran]

He's evolved so much since his days of "tender engines don't shunt!".

[@davidscholz3041]

AGREED!

[@bryantan863]

You 2 are definitely right about Gordon being more matured. Now that is what I call good character development by Fan Of Hiro baby.

What was that music that started at 2:37

[@rainierbagatsing1073]

Agreed and at the ending Gordon sure isn't going foreign anytime soon

[@MCstudio1274]

That moment with Gordon seeing the injustice of the LNER and the sad face he had, I felt my heart break. This has got to be the most touching moment of your entire series.

[@jarrodkopf6813]

I like how Gordon has become a great father figure for Eric. I hope we see more interactions between Eric and the other engines of Sodor.😊

[@The_East_Charlieton_Railway]

Yes indeed like Percy, Thomas, and Henry

@@faranitonuu3730 Yes and no. Adam, Lily and Colin - who were incredibly cruel to Stanley - still got told off by an irate Edward. James also still had a feud with Donald and Douglas just because the Caledonian Railway reneged on buying him from the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway

I do wonder if James could change like Gordon

[@ultimate5467]

This is what "Gordon Goes Foreign" and possibly what "The Great Race" should've been.

[@lylec7755]

This engine arrival is the best one yet! Gordon goes Foreign and Eric’s story mixed into one!

[@connormclernon26]

Basically, once Gordon left the echo chamber of the LNER, he was exposed to how wrong his entire way of thinking was, and is appalled on going back and realizing just how shameful the actions of the large engines of the LNER are

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally noticed that this Engine Arrival episode 'bout Eric happens to be exactly based on the story titled Gordon Goes Foreign from the Railway Series book titled The 8 Famous Engines written by the famous Rev W Awdry himself!

[@saucypan-8796]

Of course he wrote the story he wrote most of the rws books till he retired and his son took over

I loved seeing Gordon mature, and even became a somewhat mentor to Eric!

[@bryantan863]

Well done man. That was just beautifully done by your fantastic story. I really enjoyed you making Gordon more matured and now Eric can final enjoy travelling through the countryside on Sodor. I wonder which engine is going to be next?

[@davidscholz3041]

I personally couldn't agree more! In fact, it's completely obviously clear that it turns out that Eric happens to basically have been built by the L N E R like Gordon the Big blue livery paintwork-carrying official #4 L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive! As a specifically awesome matter of fact, they've both basically got exactly 6 drive wheels as well as 1 pair of trailing wheels despite both of 'em having different wheel configurations SINCE Gordon the Big blue livery paintwork-carrying L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive is a certain Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive WHILE Eric happens to be an official L N E R class V1 prairie type of steam-driven railway tank engine!

By the way, you ACTUALLY be grateful to basically know that Eric happens to basically have the official 2-6-2 wheel configuration! I've personally decided to mention that I personally took notice that they've especially managed to include Gordon the Big blue livery paintwork-carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive's only sole-surviving Doncaster built brother into the video as it certainly also apparently featured Emily the Stirling single class steam-driven railway tender locomotive in this video very much considerably easily!

[@davidscholz3041]

@@jayyy3_yt295 Well, what I'm personally trying really hard to say here is basically that the locomotive known as Eric happens to also apparently have been featured in the Stories of Sodor series by Victor Tanzig along with the official Sodor: the early/modern years series by Wild Norwestern himself!

[@ianjackson4721]

@@saucypan-8796 Yes they were withdrawn by the GNR, but no the LNER did own one and even ran it! The preserved example, no.1, was actually was run under LNER ownership on a number of occasions between 1924-1938 including appearing at the Stockton and Darlington centenary celebrations.

[@jareddiamond5133]

I liked this video, it was good to see recurring characters. Sean, Scott and Emily were really good for the amount of screen time they had. The introduction of Eric was really good, as well as combining Gordon's experience to gain friendship and teaching skills with him. It was really like a "father-son" or "big brother-little brother" teaching method. Overall, a really good episode and a Top 5 for the series (in my opinion).

[@saucypan-8796]

Ha ha Sean the train 🚂

[@riahthreetimes]

you actually did gordon goes foreign but it’s him seeing his brothers!! this was a banger episode well done!!

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally love how Gordon the Big blue livery paintwork-carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive mentioned Eric as an official L N E R class V1 prairie type of steam-driven railway tank engine when the Fat Controller asks Gordon the Big blue livery paintwork-carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive 'bout Eric over @ Knapford Station!

[@SapphireStar23]

Now I can accept Gordon has changed for the better. Even if he may be impatient and rude from time to time.

[@cabecranford2967]

Before when I first saw your new OC but I actually like it, it's like instead of hiro going back he decided to stay and the fat controller offered him a new coat of paint he decided to be painted blue with red stripes in order to honor and thank Thomas for finding him and caring for him.

[@Duckthechad]

This story is what I call a masterpiece 👌👏

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally heard a thought in Gordon the Big blue livery paintwork-carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive's mind recapping from his own official Engine Arrival episode! By the way, there's actually multiple stations in London for different railway companies including the official terminal of the L N E R known as King's Cross!

[@jackthedragon612]

Another great episode of this series of yours FOH, well done.

[@davidscholz3041]

31:33 I've especially wanted to mention that I personally love how they certainly did actually manage to actually made an official point of Gordon the Big L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley informing the Fat Controller 'bout a L N E R P1 prairie type of steam-driven railway tank engine named Eric before reading a certain newspaper article 'bout an official L N E R class P1 named Carlin getting arrested for being completely obviously 100% reckless exactly 3 days later! Also, apparently for another fact is basically that like Edward the Blue Engine's own official crew who are actually 100% basically known as Charlie Sand & Sidney Hever, Gordon the Big blue livery paintwork-carrying official #4 L N E R class A0 pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive's own official crew have names: Bob and Terry! Although, it's completely obviously clear that their last names weren't mentioned! But, it's completely obviously good that Edward the Blue Engine's own official crew ain't the only steam-driven railway locomotive whose crew got mentioned by their names!

28:51-29:10 i got tears between these scenes 😭

[@TheAutisticCapricorn811]

Okay, I earnestly have to say that this episode is what makes Gordon the true protagonist of the entire Railway Series-related meta content in this Sodor Arrival series. He really does have a cool change of character in this episode, and I really like it, along with the astonishing family bond with Flying Scotsman. This primactically is a superb Gordon-constant episode that I'm fond of enjoying. I can sense a Edward-like role model figurehead Gordon has well become. It just goes to show that character growth and development is one of the best ways to mature up in life. The writing in this Eric arrival story is as brilliant as that Tyler arrival story.

[@KermitTheFrog54-j5l]

This was awesome even though it mostly took place in London. Also it was a bit shocking hearing in the episode that the P1 got arrested for a lot of stuff.

_"We'll show them what Sir Topham Hatt's engines can do!"_ This quote would seem to sum up the entire episode. Well done, dude. 😁

Isn’t Mc Coles farm on the loop line, so tank engines can’t reach it. Plus they probably have more work on the main line.
