He can be very canny in dealing with these engines when he has to be, as he managed to pull off an elaborate scheme to give Bill and Ben a taste of their own medicine. Edward is also not above indulging in certain levels of mischief; he laughed when he first saw Thomas wake Gordon with his whistle, and went in with Thomas's plan of teaching Gordon a lesson with the same level of slyness and smugness as the tank engine himself, particularly when Gordon was forced to beg him for a push.The reason that #844 didn’t reprise its role as the Rainbow Sun for the movie was because it was out of service due to boiler tube failure, and was found to have been made of the wrong material during the overhaul in 1996, a discovery that prompted the replacement of the firebox in a complete overhaul that lasted from September 2001 to 2004.
