Download the service sheet from here https://support.hornby.com/hc/en-gb/article_attachments/360016353960/hss_425_edward_service_sheet.pdf then search the usual parts suppliers for the part number of the bit you have lost or broken.

Unfortunately, it is not quite that easy. S/S 425 contains errors, one of which is incorrectly identifying the bogie. It quotes X9631, which is a detail pack for the M7 tank.

Very few parts for Edward have ever been available but there is likely to be a substitute. If I can find a bogie, I will post again.

In the meantime, please advise in which way the bogie is broken.

[Going Spare]

Although it was part of the D49 loco (upon which Edward is based), and for the UK-made version of that loco rather than the Chinese equivalent, bogie X1476 is likely to be the one most readily available, but it will be supplied with green or black wheels. If still serviceable, you can probably reuse the blue wheels from the damaged bogie or source blue X0737 wheels used on Gordon. Peters Spares list the X1476 bogie on their website petersspares.com.

For the China-made D49 loco, the bogie part number is X6456 but this looks to be difficult to find.

Other than by contacting Hornby themselves, there is no way of identifying the correct part number for Edward's bogie - technicalservices.uk@hornby.com or 01843 233512.

It's the plastic between the bogie and the main body that's broken

Then you will need a complete bogie, the plastic used by Hornby is virtually impossible to glue.
