- “An alliance, Thomas, United we stand, together we fall. You help me and I help you. How about it?" "Right you are." "Good! That's settled.”
- ―Gordon and Thomas put aside their differences[src]
Gordon is a big blue tender engine who works on the Main Line, and is number 4. He is Flying Scotsman's only surviving brother. Gordon is also one of the fastest and strongest engines on the Island of Sodor, whose main task is to pull the Wild Nor' Wester, the railway's express train. At times, this leads him to feel superior and cause him to become boastful.
Gordon is mainly used for passenger duties, but has occasionally pulled goods trains, to his chagrin. He is also known to haul special services such as royal trains.
