## Trivia

* Henry's ERTL model has some notable features:
	+ His side-rods are red even though many other engines had grey or white ones like he had in the TV series.
	+ Some copies have a gap under his smoke box.
	+ While Henry regained his wheel arches in the second series of the TV series, his ERTL model does not have any.
	+ Some copies depict him with lime green paint along with Percy.
* Henry's running board was only white once which was the 1986 paper face Henry.
* Henry is the only main character at the time not released in the Gold Rail Series, although he was planned before the range was discontinued.
* Henry's ERTL model is featured on the Stationhouse Playtrack box.
* Despite not being discontinued, Henry's ERTL model never gained the U-hook rear coupling in 2003. This was also the case with Donald and Douglas.
* Henry's Take Along collector card uses one of his promotional images from series 5.
* There are two versions of the 2013 Take-n-Play Henry, one with a more classic, model face while the other one has his CGI face. It is unknown why there are two variants of his model.
* Henry's Collectible Railway, Adventures and 2023 Push Along models depict him with a Fowler tender, which he never had in the TV series, but it is accurate to his design from All Engines Go.
