Geocache Description:

Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends are based on the Railway Series of books written by the Reverend W. Awdry (1911-1997). The stories were created in 1942 to entertain the Reverend's son, Christopher, who was confined to bed with measles.

This is one of a series of caches dedicated to finding Thomas (Where's Thomas?) but first you have to find his friends. Thomas is a cheeky, fussy little engine who wears #1 on his side and never lets anyone forget it. Joining him in his adventures on the Island of Sodor are his engine friends, including cheerful Percy, moody James and the proud but boastful Gordon.

They are joined by the coaches Annie and Clarabel, Bertie the Bus, Terence the Tractor and Harold the Helicopter, to name a few. Sir Topham Hatt, Superintendent of the railroad, is the kindly boss who keeps everyone in order.

"Edward" was the first name that came into the Rev. Awdry's mind and was the first character to appear in The Railway Series and is part of the central group of characters in the TV Series "Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends". He is a blue 4-4-0 tender engine with red stripes, about the same size as James, and bears the number 2 on his tender.

Edward is the oldest and wisest of the engines in the fleet, and other engines often find themselves indebted to his knowledge and experience.

So it is fitting that "Edward" is to be the first of this series.

Find Edward and he will help you find Thomas! (Is he in the sidings at Yarwell?)
