Description
Here's arrogant, pompous. proud express engine with number 4.

Backstory (THIS IS MY HEADCANON): In 1920, Gordon was built at Doncaster Works as a experimental prototype A1 with Ivatt cab, and 6-wheeled tender for GNR. One year later, he got rebuild with different cab and tender. This engine has no GNR number because it is prototype version of A1. In 1923, Gordon was sold to North Western Railway as primer express engine since Henry was bricked up in a tunnel. During the early year, he got stuck on a hill with goods train as Edward helped him. Several months later, Gordon pulls the express train to Tidmouth and broke his safety valve in Henry's Tunnel. Gordon found cheeky Thomas whistling at him rudely, so he taught him a lesson by pulling train with Thomas before he could be uncoupled. By 1927, the big engines went on strikes for tired of shunting coaches. After the strike of big engines, the fat director let them out. Gordon almost collided to Percy and he runs away, and he helped him from nasty accident. In 1938, Gordon had a troubled conjugated valve gear and sent to Crewe where Henry had a accident and got rebuild, then Doncaster. By 1952, Gordon has to pull special goods train. He ran into a ditch and silly boys sings it. Later right after Thomas fell down the mine, Gordon has to rescue with winch and he became useful now so the fat controller reward him to pull royal train. And rest of story is over blah blahb lah.
