Gordon's Winch

Gordon has a winch which he uses to help other engines out of trouble. The winch can be mounted to his front bufferbeam and has strong cables.

When Percy got stuck in a bank of earth at Lower Suddery, Gordon used the winch to help free him. Later, when Thomas fell down a mine, Gordon came to his rescue with the winch.

Gordon's winch was also once used by James when the big engine ran into a ditch outside Knapford Sheds.

Trivia

 * The winch seen in the fourth series is a completely different model to the one from the first series. It is likely that the original was either lost or broken, hence a replacement was created.
 * Gordon’s brake pipe and middle lamp iron had to be removed in order to mount the winch.
 * James is the only engine known to have used the winch other than Gordon himself.
