Meet the Characters: Gordon, One of Sodor’s Proudest Engine in Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor

Feb 26, 2026

Rolling onto the tracks of Episode 4, and very fitting for Sodor's Number 4 engine, is Gordon. Gordon is one of Sodor’s most iconic engines. He’s a strong, powerful and proud engine, in charge of hauling the Express line for Sodor. In Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor, players get to experience his power, his pace, and yes… his personality, all from right inside the cab.

Gordon makes an appearance in multiple scenarios, alongside the recreations of some stories which you’ll no doubt remember, such as Thomas & Gordon.

One of the core features of Wonders of Sodor is Explore Mode. In Explore mode, you’re able to team up with Gordon, or any of the other classic engine, to drive without any timetable or story to worry about. Starting wherever you like, choose your train, create your own run and explore at your own pace.

Gordon also loves to be admired, and Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor gives you the tools to make him look splendid. In Photo Mode, you can freeze the action, adjust camera angles, experiment with lighting and capture your favourite moments. Whether you’re climbing Gordon’s Hill or charging past one of many infamous landmarks, Photo Mode gives players the ability to save those memories.
