Gordon

Gordon is a big blue express engine who works on the Main Line. He is Flying Scotsman's only surviving brother and is one of the six main characters in the SC Shorts.

Biography on YouTube
Gordon first appeared on Sammy Clark's YouTube channel in the video, "Thomas and friends Welcome to my Trainmare part 1", and his first appearance in the SC Shorts was in the episode, "Whatever Happened To Toby?".

Personality
Gordon's important position as the engine who pulls the Express has made him proud, pompous, arrogant, stubborn, prideful and self-important, with a good reason too; he is the fastest engine on Sodor. He is extremely proud of this and is inclined to boast. But despite his pompousness, he is goodhearted, always willing to forgive and uses his superior strength to help smaller engines out of trouble. Though he is also vengeful and will plot retribution if he feels he has been sufficiently slighted, as mentioned before he is happy to forgive especially after he has either had his retribution or the individual has received some other comeuppance. He also has a great hatred of goods trains, though not to the extent that James does. Because of his rank in the social order of the North Western Railway, Gordon expects to get the important passenger jobs and either he sulks when he does not get what he wants, or gets jealous of engines who do get what they want.
