Edward The Blue Engine - Tumblr Posts
That looks painful. I love Edward’s calm approach to this situation though 😄
James Crashes (Caught in 4K?!)
Will I give context?
No, I don’t think I will. :)
They look so realistic 😱💙❤️💚
Some engine faces because why not
we got Thom Thom-
My take on Culdee's face uwu.
My take on the Flying Scotsman's face ^^(( @robotic-railways ))
and a couple of very confused bois:
Have a sketch page of my two favorite old coots (James and Edward would have friendly sparring sessions since they're both similar in size and strength, but James didn't know that the first time they locked buffers so Edward humbled him just a little bit.)
Today is Tuesday, 22, 2022 which also means EDWARD APPRECIATION WEEK!!
Today until early March I'll post a little somethin' honoring our valiant blue engine! Anyone is free to participate just make sure you keep it appropriate - unless it's dank - and have fun! Considering it was he who started the series as we know it - revisionism aside - it's high time Edward gets his dues and I'm more than happy to give it to him!
Oh and Mattel? Screw off!

Weird middle form engine creature concept, or as I like to call it "All Terrain Steam Engine"
Spooky giant old iron caterpillar beast
I weirdly admire Edward’s French voice for some reason.
Rendered Edward I made on my iPad
”Something went terribly wrong ever since we came across that mutation testing site…”
Edward's wanting a good old fashioned chase >:)
A comic prompt I can't get out of my head. Just Spencer being a prick to Edward and Edward not having it.
-------------------------------------------------------
Spencer: "Speechless in my presence~?"
Edward: "💢...."
Spencer: "I don't blame you.. Being around an engine like me is quite the experience, isn't it~?"
Edward: "You can experience this ass whoopin'..."
Thomas: "snrK-"
James: "HAH-"
Gordon: *WHEEEZE*
Henry: "HHHAHAH-"
-------------------------------------------------------
I told you, Edward is scary when he is angry. If he has a good enough reason he will jump guys three times his size and he will go for their egos and their knees.
"So! The Old Iron caught you after all," chuckled Edward. "I'm sorry," whispered James. "Thank you for saving me. You were magnificent, Edward."
another redraw!! I had to repost this one after the alt text got deleted(?) so I touched it up a little before posting it again. I've also swapped the order so that the version that includes one of my fav head canons (the one by @/theflyingkipper about soot nosebleeds and smoke/steam breath) is below the cut!
POV: you tried to kidnap one of the children, not only kidnap also hurted them
honestly don't believe Edward gets enough credit for the sheer coolth of "soooooo... the 'old iron' caught you after all 😉"
like. at this very moment everyone must be panting, sweating, the men whooping with adrenaline and relief. the inspector has spent miles clinging to the handrail of a speeding locomotive while trying to lasso another. sidney's been shoveling coal like a madman. james's fireman HOPPED THE GAP BETWEEN RUNNING BOARDS to clamber over to the cab. James is on an internal loop of 'omg omg i'm still on the rails omg omg omg i'm alive.'
and Edward is like "this.. is the moment. to be . 😈 p etty'
miserable. until he sees YOU! 🫵
(as always, AU design by @/ohjeeztrains! thank you, the beasts haunt me every day !)
I want Edward to g e t m e
vampire eddie just for you (- ‿◦ )
Siblings Reunited, Part 2
As the months flew by, the engines raced back and forth, hauling trains of whatever was requested by the workmen in the Steamworks during the restoration of the A3 Pacific purchased from Doncaster Works, later identified as former LNER No. 2560, Pretty Polly. As she was repaired, over time she got stronger and stronger, no longer falling into the realm of unconsciousness, and looking more and more like an actual engine every day. Gordon had noticed the strange uptick of freight going to the Steamworks recently, however no matter how much he asked, he could never get a straight answer out of anybody. His frustration only grew as he continued to try and find out what was going on. "Henry, what on earth is going on with you lot recently? You have been running at all hours of the day AND night, pulling trains to the steamworks!" Henrys eyes widened in shock as he looked at Gordon. "Well.. you see.. Uh.." Henry racked his smokebox for an excuse that was just dumb enough to work. "They.. Havent told us what theyre doing either! They just tell us what they need, we take it to them, and thats that!" Gordons eyes narrowed at his friend as they sat in the station. "Then why havent they asked me?" "They.. Uh.. They realize youre awfully busy with the express, and.. That you have a certain dislike of pulling freight.. So.." Henry hoped that Gordon couldnt see the nervousness in his eyes as they sat in silence for what seemed like forever. Thankfully, the express engine heaved a sigh and looked away. "Thats probably the straightest answer ive gotten out of any of you since all this nonsense began." He huffed, pulling out of the station with his express. Henry let out a breath he didnt know he was holding in as he watched Gordon leave. "That was close.." He groaned. "Too true." Came a new voice. Henry jumped as his eyes panned over to the other line, where Edward had silently pulled in. "Edward, you scared me!" Henry smiled. "any word on how her repairs are going?" He asked, looking to the 4-4-0. "Last i heard, she looks like an actual engine now!" Edward grinned. "Shes still unable to properly communicate with us, but once we get her back up to operational condition, we'll be in business!" Henry and Edward shared excited looks. "Thats wonderful! Do they have an estimated time of completion? August is coming up on us awfully fast.." The big green engine asked, his internal worry shining through his voice as his smile quickly turned into a worried frown. "They cant say for sure.. Theyre working practically 24/7 trying to get everything done on time.. Polly was in terrible condition when she arrived, you know!" Edward sighed, his own worries linking with Henrys. "Dont worry, Edward. If we keep going like we are now, we'll get done in no time. We've made remarkable progress in just a few months already." Henry gave his friend a gentle smile. "We'll pull through. Even if its by the paint on our boilers, we'll get done in time."
