This can be backed up by the Island of Sodor book …somewhat. In that book, the reason why Thomas got to be Number 1 is because he was the first officially purchased engine for the NWR. Edward was purchased sometime later from the Furness Railway. But that still doesn’t explain why Thomas didn’t appear at all in the first book even though he was the first character to be created in the form of the iconic wooden toy made for Christopher. Maybe Wilbert was unsure about how to write him into the stories, or perhaps the Middleton didn’t know about him yet, but even in the re-drawings done by Dalby, he doesn’t even appear in the background. Guess this’ll remain a mystery for a long time…
This makes sense, it was first Thomas who arrived on Sodor, then Edward. No one but just them running the railway before Henry, Gordon, James, Percy and the rest came along.
This is very interesting Edward arriving on Sodor in 1915 as a hot-head in his express years, before he was left in the shed forgotten in 1923 because of newer engines or in this case… possibly punishment ??

Snobbish Edward and Grumpy Thomas Equals This. XD
Plot twist: Thomas arrived a few days ago and had his paint changed and Edward has actually been on the railway for a while
Edward was the very first Engine on the Island of Sodor. Edward was the very first Engine on the Fat Controller's Railway.
Never like the idea of thomas being the first engine arrived on sodor since he was never mentioned or seen at all in the first book
@@chavopatyfanstudios2005 oh sorry
In the railway series we really have no idea but in the model series thomas was first then edward
Edward was the first in cgi
@@TimTheWellTank dont think in the model thomas was the first theres no metion of that

Great story.
Young Edward 😊
Edward isn’t really young he was built in somewhere the 1896 and by this time he is probably older then thomas
Ye that's why thomas said he is too old to be pulling expresses which is true bc the fr was replacing the k2s by their new k4s
Dang this actually is pretty coolio!
