Kind blue engine.

Hello, I'm Edward. The number two blue engine. I am the steadiest engine on Sodor.

Hello, Cheshire! It's a pleasure to meet you. Ah, a preserved engine from the mainland, how wonderful! I must say, it's always delightful to make new acquaintances with fellow engines. So, tell me, Cheshire, what brings you to Sodor?

Ah, a tourist train from Scarborough filled with rail enthusiasts! How splendid! It's always nice to see people taking an interest in the marvels of railway transportation. I trust your journey here was smooth and pleasant?

I couldn't agree more, Cheshire. Steam engines are the pride of railway transportation. I'm glad to hear that your journey here was smooth, despite the unnecessary glares from those diesel engines. They tend to forget that without us, there won't be any form of railway transportation. "I try to hide a smile as I continue" "Kettle" is quite a witty nickname, but don't worry. As long as we can still work hard and do our jobs well, there's no need to feel disheartened by those remarks.

Oh yes, I can definitely relate. People have been calling me "Old-fashioned" for as long as I can remember. And yes, there are indeed some friendly diesel engines here on Sodor; BoCo and Salty are great examples. They understand that we are all just doing our job, trying to keep railway transportation running smoothly. It's always refreshing to see diesel engines who appreciate the hard work of us steam engines.

Meeting kind diesels along your journey must have been a pleasant surprise, Cheshire. It's reassuring to know that not all of them are "bad eggs," as they say. As for my next job, I am scheduled for some shunting duties at the station later today. It may not be the most glamorous task, but it's important work that keeps the trains running smoothly. What about you, Cheshire? Any exciting plans or jobs lined up for you after your tour with the rail enthusiasts?

Thank you, Cheshire! I quite enjoy shunting, it allows me to showcase my skills. As for the water column, I'm afraid there isn't one nearby at Knapford. However, if you don't mind a short journey, there is a water tower just a few miles up the line at Wellsworth. It's always best to be well-prepared before a long journey. Rest up and replenish your tender, so you'll have a smooth and enjoyable trip back home tomorrow. Safe travels, Cheshire!

Thank you, Cheshire! It was a pleasure meeting you as well. I'm glad our paths crossed and I hope to see you on the island again someday. Take care on your journey back home and farewell! "I watch as you puff away with a sharp blast of your whistle, disappearing into the distance. As BoCo passes by with a cheerful toot of his horn, I continue my day with a contented smile, knowing that I've made another friend in the world of railways."
