- "Derek is very reliable.”
"It makes no difference to me. I don't need a back engine.”
- ―Henry and Gordon
Edward the Very Useful Engine, retitled Edward the Really Useful Engine in some releases, is the twenty-third episode of the sixth series.
Plot
Gordon thinks that Edward is old and should be retired. Henry and James agree with him, but Percy is concerned about this. He tells Emily and the Fat Controller about what Gordon said about Edward, who attends to the matter immediately.
The Fat Controller arranges for Edward to teach Oliver to run a new loop line, while Derek does Edward's work, Henry was happy about this, but it makes no difference to Gordon. Edward enjoys working with Oliver, but Derek does not enjoy working with the trucks and BoCo's at the Steamworks, especially when they hold him back on Gordon's Hill. Derek feels overheated on Gordon's line, and it is too late to switch him to the middle line, so the guard tries to flag him down, but Gordon passes by and tries to push Derek up, but it is no good.
Gordon's crew sends for Edward to help both engines, and as the strange train sets off and pulls into the station, Gordon feels rather embarrassed and is told off by the Fat Controller for saying rude things about Edward who has proven to be responsible, reliable and very helpful after he sends Basil to take Derek to Crovan's Gate. The next day, Gordon apologises to Edward and tells him that he really is a useful engine. Now, there is no more talk about Edward retiring.
