This is the third remake of my channel and it's Gordon Takes a Tumble. I knew that I finally did the Trainz 2019 version and decided to upload it to YouTube. Enjoy!

None of the engines feel more important than Gordon. Salty rolls up teasing him that pulling trucks is a silly job for an express engine. Gordon boasts that it would not be dignified for an express engine to pull trucks. Gordon attempts to explain what it means to Percy, but Salty interrupts, saying that it means someone is too big for their buffers and Gordon puffs furiously away.
Later that night, the Docks are packed with trucks due to the fog covering the Island of Sodor, causing confusion and delay. The Fat Controller comes to the sheds and orders Henry, Thomas and Percy to go to the Docks and Gordon to take the trucks somewhere where they will not be in the way, much to Gordon's shock. Gordon is waiting impatiently for his trucks, to show Salty how an express engine pulls them. Salty teases him again, but this time Gordon ignores him.
The next day, as Gordon is puffing along the main line, a signalman forgets to switch a set of points from an old, rickety branch line. The signalman sees Gordon going to the said branch line, knowing that the express trains cannot go there, but it is too late. The old branch line's tracks are weak and rusty and has "Go Slow" signs to warn all trains, but Gordon ignores the signs and goes even faster. The old rails start to buckle as they cannot hold Gordon's weight, and he derails with his train and tumbles down a hill. He ploughs through a mound of dirt, a pile of tires and barrels (losing his tender and leaving it behind in the process), a barn and finally comes to a stop in a field in front of a scarecrow. No one is injured but Gordon feels very "undignified" and wonders what the Fat Controller will say. He soon finds out; The Fat Controller arrives and tells Gordon off that he has only succeeded in showing Salty how silly it is to ignore "Go Slow" signs.
Gordon is soon repaired and returns back to work, but is very unhappy with himself. Thomas cheers him up by saying that everyone makes mistakes. James tells Gordon that Salty has apologized for all of his teasing and Gordon apologizes for being "too big for his buffers." All three engines give a jolly toot.
