Gordon (AEG)

"Well, THAT is a fine how do you do." Gordon is a blue tender engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor.

Biography
When Gordon came to Sodor, he originally competed for the Sodor Cup, winning the tournament. He is also said to have at one point held a speed record from Peel Godred to Norramby Beach.

Personality
Gordon takes on the role of Sir Topham Hatt in the original series, acting as the main instructor for jobs on the Island of Sodor. He likes to see others happy and to help the younger engines with his superior strength, but not when they are disobeying his expectations. Gordon is shown to have an interest in bird watching.

Gordon’s boastful personality has been toned down significantly compared to the original show. While he remains grumpy and easily annoyed, he no longer belittles the smaller engines. Additionally, unlike Diesel or James, Gordon's arrogant traits were almost dropped completely. However, signs of his more boastful side can occasionally be glimpsed.

Livery
Gordon is painted blue with red lining on his cab, splashers, tender, cylinders and boiler and yellow lining around his windows. His number (4) is painted on his tender in yellow with a red outline. His bufferbeams and valences are red. His running board is white at the front, however becomes red once it reaches the top.
