Edward is an old and experienced engine.  He is an Furness Railway K2 Tender engine, and can usually be seen pulling goods and passenger trains.

Edward runs his own Branch line, which starts at Wellsworth Junction, passes through the Capital of Sodor, Suddery, and ends at the port of Brendam.  At Brendam, Edward can meet Bill or Ben, who bring trucks from the China Clay works.

A train of Rail enthusiasts come to the Island. They visit all the branch lines, say hello to all the engines and do many things. On the last day, Edward has trouble starting the enthusiast train. The big engines comment on this. The events of his starring story happen after this.

I like TramEngineStudios' interpretation of Edward's voice. It's soft, and has come spark, while still sounding like an older character. Keith Wickham's Edward voice is also one to take inspiration from. I personally stray from more nasally Edward voices myself. While they don't sound bad, they're just a little grading for me.

Edward's Class was built for the Furness Railway, and he mostly worked near Barrow-In-Furness for most of his life, so I gave Edward a Cumbrian accent.
