Henry's Nightmare

**Henry's Nightmare** is the fourth episode of the first season.

## Plot

Henry is a mixed-traffic engine working on the North Western Railway. However, when he first arrived on Sodor from the Mainland, it was discovered that he was the construction of a thief who had stolen two seperate design plans and mixed them together. Despite this, the Fat Controller made due with him and had him mended over time, and Henry later recieved special Welsh coal for his smaller firebox. Henry had however also dreaded the thought to be sent for scrap hadn't he come to Sodor.

One evening, Henry is filling up on water by the sheds. His concerned expression makes Thomas ask what's wrong, but Henry snaps back that he is fine. Thomas gives up and Henry considers apologising to him in the morning since he is too tired. The engines then go to sleep for the night.

During the night, Henry has a nightmare, where Sir Topham Hatt I informs him and his crew that operating Henry has become too costly. He tells them that some people from the LMS will be on a train Henry will take to Barrow-in-Furness. Some time later, Henry takes the train, but struggles on his way back to Knapford. His speed gets slower and slower, until he stops short of Gordon's Hill. His crew goes to Wellsworth for help. Thomas later arrives and takes him and the train back to Knapford. The LMS people are displeased and so is Sir Topham Hatt. He asks Thomas to shunt Henry into the furthest rear siding. Henry waits there for months to come and go, even when Sir Topham Hatt finally gets the Atlantic C1 that he had long wanted.

The Atlantic arrives with a goods train one day, and with her, is Sir Topham Hatt. He walks over to Henry and tells him that he has no choice but to return Henry to the Mainland where he will be scrapped. Henry is swiftly coupled to the Atlantic's train, who is also sad to see him go, and they depart for the Mainland. All the while Henry screams for his life, pleading to not be sent to the scrap heap.

Henry awakens from his nightmare and whistles loudly, waking the other engines in the shed. Thomas asks what's wrong, and Henry explains that he had a nightmare. Gordon asks what it was about, and Henry explains what happened. Thomas assures him that the Fat Controller would never scrap him. Henry also apologises for lashing out at him the day before, which Thomas forgives him for. Henry remains a proud member of the North Western Railway, and whenever he breaks down, the Fat Controller has him repaired. And no matter how old he gets, the Fat Controller will make sure that he isn't a pile of scrap.

Jock

**Jock**, named by Douglas for his yellow livery, is the newest steam engine on the Arlesdale Railway, and the strongest.

## Biography

After Rex's steampipe began leaking one day and Frank had to take his train, Fergus Duncan began thinking they needed another engine, and so he arranged for Jock to be built. He was designed by the Arlesdale Railway's own Chief Engineer, Ivan Farrier, working with Ian Smith of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, who also needed a fourth steam locomotive. It is not surprising therefore that Jock and the R&E's "Northern Rock" should show marked similarities.

Jock's design incorporates all the best features of Bert, Mike and Rex. As in the case of Bert, the tall chimney and cab give Jock a true Narrow Gauge appearance. Except for the boiler, firebox and cylinders, which were fabricated at Crovan's Gate Works, Jock was built entirely at Arlesburgh Works. Stephen Hatt played a role in arranging Jock's construction, a project which was dear to his father's heart.

When Jock first came out for testing he was still unnamed. Jock's paint colour reminded Douglas of his days on the Highland Railway, and he suggested the name "Jock" for the new engine. Fergus and Jock liked the name so it stuck.

Later on, Jock pulled a doubleheader with Mike, who had come to resent Jock's popularity and resulting arrogance, and tried to teach him a lesson by cutting off steam, forcing Jock to do all the work. The prank backfired when Mike broke down on the homeward journey, and Jock had to pull both him and the train. That evening, the two engines made up their quarrel, and Jock resolved to be less conceited in the future.

## Personality

Jock was very cocky when he was first built, as a result of being stronger and more popular than the other engines, but soon learned the value of teamwork when Mike's injector failed and he had to pull Mike and his train single-handedly.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Jock is based on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway's Northern Rock, built at Ravenglass in 1976. Two other engines based on Northern Rock's design have been built at Ravenglass for the Shuzenji Romney Railway in Japan.

### Livery

Jock is painted in the Highland Railway chartreuse yellow livery with red lining. He has a brass dome, brass builder's plates on the sides of his cab, red nameplates with gold writing mounted on each side of his boiler and "ARLESDALE" written on the sides of his tender in yellow.

Ivo Hugh

**Ivo Hugh**, named after the Skarloey Railway's former foreman, Mr. Ivo Hugh, is a young narrow gauge tank engine.

## Biography

Ivo Hugh is a powerful 0-4-2 tank engine who was built in 1996 and has done sterling work for the Skarloey Railway ever since. The heavier construction work was done at the North Western Railway's Crovan's Gate Works, but he was actually constructed by the Skarloey Railway's own engineering department, led by David Hugh. His similarity to the Talyllyn Railway's No.7 is explained by the fact that much experience was passed on by that Railway in the light of experience with its own engine, and the co-operation saved much heart searching at Crovan's Gate.

Ivo Hugh is named in honour of the former Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Railway, Mr. Ivo Hugh, who christened the new locomotive, a ceremony which was attended by all the engines. Ivo Hugh is unique in the Skarloey roster due to being a side-tank engine, and he is strong enough to handle the heaviest work.

## Personality

Not much is known about Ivo Hugh, as he never spoke in the only book to feature him. However, the bio on the back of his trading card claims that as he is a younger engine, he relies upon the knowledge and experience of the older engines to help him get his work done.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Ivo Hugh is based on the Talyllyn Railway's Tom Rolt, an Andrew Barclay 0-4-0WT which was rebuilt at Pendre Works into a 0-4-2T with side tanks in 1991. Tom Rolt is named after author L.T.C. Rolt, who inspired the Talyllyn Railway's preservation and was the line's manager for two years.

### Livery

Ivo Hugh is painted in SR standard red with blue and yellow lining. The number "7" is painted in a black circle in gold, and his name is painted on his side tanks in yellow.

Euston

**Euston** (also known as the **Big City Engine** and the **Foreign Engine**) is an express tender engine from the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and later British Railways.

## Biography

Euston once stayed the night at Tidmouth with Gordon and Duck. The three engines were involved in an argument about the confusion between the mainline stations in London. Gordon remembered a trip to King's Cross (LNER) in his youth, and believed that London was restricted to Kings Cross. Euston thought that London was Euston (LMS) since it was named after him. Duck thought that London was Paddington (GWR), as he had once worked there.

Unbeknown-st to them, they were all correct, as there were a number of stations in London for different railway companies. Even so, Gordon and Duck still continued the argument when Euston went back home. Because of this, Gordon was eager to find out, but he was most disappointed to discover that when he travelled to London the station he arrived at was St. Pancras.

## Personality

Euston is rather pompous, conceited, and single minded, as well as argumentative.

According to his Wooden Railway description, he is a quarrelsome engine from London, he travels from time to time for an overnight stay at the Big Station.

According to his Take-n-Play description, Euston is a pompous character that thinks London trains are the best. During his visits to Sodor, the other engines always get upset with him.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Euston is based on an original build LMS "Patriot" Class 4-6-0. These engines were given the nickname "Baby Scots" because the design was based on the Royal Scot Class.

All of the real life "Patriot" engines were scrapped. However, a replica of No. 5551, named "The Unknown Warrior", is currently being built.

### Livery

Euston is painted in BR Brunswick green with red lining and grey wheels and cylinders. He presumably has a British Railways crest on his tender. The Wooden Railway and Take-n-Play toys have green wheels and an emblem on his tender with the initials 'BCE' in red.

Derek

**Derek** is a diesel who is known for his initial "teething" troubles.

## Biography

BR Class 17 No.D8617 'Derek' is seen here at the works in Crovans Gate in the year 1973 when he was hired by the Fat Controller, Sir Topham Hatt II, from Derby to help out on his railway. However like his brothers and sisters, Derek had teething probelms. His class, the BR class 17 were known to be failures being unreliable, prone to camshaft and cylinder head problems. Derek's problems however had caused headaches for the Fat Controller with trains being delayed and so he sent Derek away to Derby Railway Research Center, where he later retired in 1978 alongside his other surving class members. However he was the only one from Derby to be preserved by a heritage railway that went bust in 1998. But a new light was shining upon him as Sir Topham Hatt II had purchased him and set him to work with Bill & Ben on a special order of china clay. However he suffered his teething troubles again. The Fat Controller sent him to his works to be mended, however he was left on an out of use siding at the works station to await his restoration. It wasn't until by 2015 that Derek came back to life again and this time as a utility engine on the mainline now with Donald, Douglas and Henry.\*

## Technical Details

### Basis

Derek is based on a BR Class 17, also known as the Clayton Diesel-electric Type 1. 117 members of this class were built between 1962 and 1965. Derek's problems were undoubtedly inspired by those of his basis, as the twin Paxman engines of the real Class 17s were unreliable, being prone to problems with the camshaft, cylinder head, and other areas. Because of these problems, all Class 17s were withdrawn by the end of 1971, after less than 10 years of service. One Class 17, D8568, is preserved at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway in South Oxfordshire.

He leaves late for Dryaw, and despite attempting to make up for lost time, he arrives late there. A passenger, Mr. Roberts, tells Thomas off for his attitude against Henry and his approach to handling passengers. Thomas isn't affected by Mr. Roberts' remark and angrly departs.

The next morning, as he leaves his shed at Ffarquhar, he derails on the points. His crew discovers that it was stones placed to block the switch for the tracks. Just then, Mr. Roberts arrives and claims responsibility, citing Thomas' treatment of Henry and his approach to handling passengers. The police and Sir Topham Hatt I are called. He scolds him for his actions and Mr. Roberts' is arrested. Sir Topham then scolds Thomas, and expresses agreement with Mr. Roberts' sentiment. He has Thomas placed on quarry duty until he has redeemed himself. Thomas does this work without issue, and delivers the trucks for Henry to take onwards. He also apologises of his actions, and later does the same for Mr. Roberts, who accepts and apologises to Thomas as well. At the same time, Thomas and Henry became better friends.

D199

**Diesel 199 (D199)** (nicknamed "**Spamcan**" and "**Old Reliable**") is a rude diesel engine from the Other Railway.

## Biography

Diesel 199 was built in the early 1960s at Derby Works. In 1967, he came on trial to Sodor with another diesel engine, Diesel 7101. D199 soon made himself an enemy of the steam engines when he claimed that "steam engines spoil our image". Vulgar noises greeted this, until Duck and D7101 managed to shut up D199.

The next day, D199 ironically failed with a train of fuel tankers at a signal box, blocking the crossing. Henry (whose regulator had already jammed) came to help. However, after D7101's ejector leaked (making him unable to pull his passenger train), Henry was asked to help him as well. Henry (with some help from 7101) was still able to move and bravely pulled 199, the oil-tankers and the passengers to the next station. The Fat Controller was not impressed, and Diesel 199 was soon sent home in disgrace for insulting the steam engines on the North Western Railway. However, his companion Diesel 7101 was given a second chance.

## Personality

D199 was pompous and rude, and sided with the general belief amongst diesels that steam engines are inferior to diesel power. He is blatantly arrogant, and enjoys bad-mouthing the steam engines. However, he earned the nickname "**Spamcan**" by a signalman after he failed pulling a train of oil-tankers, and he subsided when the signalman jokingly threatened to cut him up with a tin opener.

D199 thought he was more reliable than the steam engines. However, one day he broke down and quickly lost his nickname "**Old Reliable**". In fact, everyone was rather pleased when he was sent away from Sodor back to the Other Railway in disgrace.

## Technical Details

### Basis

D199 is based on a BR Class 46 "Peak" 1Co-Co1. The Class 46s never made it up to D199. They were numbered between D138-D193. 56 of them were built from 1961 to 1963, and three of them are preserved, while one (46009) was destroyed in a crash test in 1984.

### Livery

D199 is painted in the British Railway's Rail Blue with yellow warning panels. His number, D199 is painted on the sides of his cab in white.

Boris

**Boris** was one of the three LNER A0's that were built in 1922.

## Biography

Boris was built in Doncaster in 1922 as one of the three prototypes of the LNER A1/A3 Class known as the A0, which included modifications such as a larger boiler. The other two were Gordon and Flying Scotsman.

The following year in 1923, all three A0s has passed most tests and were ready to head to their new homes. Gordon would be sent to the Island of Sodor, Boris said to him that it was nice to know him and that now he should bring the Doncaster pride into Sodor.

It is likely that Boris was put to work on the LNER after his tests were completed. Given that all the LNER A1/A3 Pacific class locomotives except for the Flying Scotsman were withdrawn from service scrapped between 1959 and 1966, it can be assumed that he was as well.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Boris is based on an earlier fictional version of the London and North Eastern Gresley A1/A3 Class know as the A0. Other LNER A0/1/3 Class include Jeremy, Gordon and Flying Scotsman  .

Lily

**Lily** is a Victorian style engine who used to work on the Wellsworth & Suddery Railway.

## Biography

Lily was built in 1889 by the London & Southwestern Railway's Nine Elm's Works under special order for the Wellsworth & Suddery Railway Company (later known as the Tidmouth, Knapford and Suddery Railway) and arrived at the same time as Adam to work with Colin. When the North West Railway was formed in 1914, Lily mainly handled the Arlesburgh Branch when it was built in 1916. In 1923, Lily was asked to cover for Henry on the main line when the big green engine was bricked up in the tunnel, and Colin took care of Lily's Branch Line. When Colin rammed some houses, Lily realized that if Henry hadn't indulged in the tunnel, she'd be on her own branch, and Colin would never had the accident, and her branch line wouldn't have to shut down for three days. This made her dislike Henry for the rest of her life. Some time later that year, Thomas came to work with Lily on her Branch Line in order to learn about branch line Runnings. Lily was a good teacher; she encouraged Thomas not to lose confidence after a slight mistake, and congratulated the little blue tank engine when he rescued some fishermen.

In 1934, however, Lily, along with Colin, Adam, Roger and Clive were sold for scrap when the railway was facing financial problems during The Great Depression. That was not the end of Lily, though. The Fat Director secretly funded £170 for Lily's crew to buy her from the scrapyards. Once that was done, Lily snuck onto the Kirk Ronan Branch Line, to board the *Errant Venture* and shipped to the factory in Scotland where Neil worked, not knowing that she was heard by both Gordon at Kellsthorpe Road station and Brian in the Kirk Ronan dock shed. Sadly, the *Errant Venture* sank the day after it left Kirk Ronan Docks. The crew made it to the Isle Of Man, but all of the cargo was lost. Lily would spend the next 75 years underwater.

## Personality

Lily is undoubtedly a responsible, reliable, and really useful engine. She has a caring side too, and prides her work so much that she tends to dislike engines who were (or are) irresponsible. According to Gordon, she always has been a 'proper lady'.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Lily is based on an 0-4-4T 'LSWR O2 class' steam locomotive, designed for the 'London and South Western Railway' by 'William Adams'.

### Livery

Lily was painted in the W&S standard maroon and gold livery with black wheels and golden borders and stripes. She formerly had W&S written on her tanks and 2 on her bunker in gold, but nowadays it was replaced by NWR and 16.

Daisy the Royal Diesel Rail-Car

**Daisy the Royal Diesel Rail-Car** is the third episode of the first season.

## Plot

Daisy is an electric diesel rail-car working on the Ffarquhar branch line on the island of Sodor. She normally carries passengers, but sometimes helps out pulling Thomas' passengers and Toby's vintage train and the milk truck. However, she had always dreamt of taking an important passenger like one of the royals.

One day, Sir Topham Hatt has gathered the Ffarquhar engines at Elsbridge station to inform them that the Queen will be visting the island. Everyone is excited, and Daisy asks who will get the honour to take the Queen to Knapford. Sir Topham replies that Gordon will take the Queen, much like last time he did so. Daisy, although disappointed, accepts this.

As the days would pass, Gordon would thunder by with the express and boast about taking the Queen again. Daisy talks to Toby on the day of the visit, and admits that she had desired to take the Queen or a royal. Toby tells her that she might get the chance one day, and that there are many years ahead to which it could happen. Shortly afterwards, he departs with his train. Feeling reassured, Daisy also departs some time later with her last passengers.

While all the other engines gather at Knapford to await the Queen's arrival, Gordon arrives on Sodor from the Mainland with the Queen on board. However, just shy of Henry's tunnel, he stops. His crew informs him that his steam pressure is down and that he can't proceed. Word reaches Sir Topham at Knapford, who then asks for a volunteer to help Gordon amongst the other engines. Toby encourages Daisy to do it, giving her a chance to take the Queen. Daisy speaks up with the proposal and Sir Topham accepts.

Meanwhile, the Queen begins to express her frustration due to the delay just as Daisy arrives. The Queen asks if she can ride on board Daisy, which she accepts after asking Gordon. Daisy takes Gordon, his train and the Queen back to Knapford. There, the Queen holds a speech, praising the Reverend W. Awdry and his Railway Series books, and the engines of Sodor.

Charlie worked at the Cadbury Cake factory in Blackpole, Worcestershire and was considered by many as a jokester, although not many find them amusing. He worked there until he was sold in 1946 to a smartly dressed man known as Barry Topham\*. Mr. Topham runs a circus and needs an engine of his own to pull its train across the mainland. Charlie was pleased and one of his trips happened to be his first visit to Sodor in 1926. Charlie made jokes on Sodor and although some engines do like them, the other engines, like the ones down at Blackpole, didn't really like them either. Charlie is also an engine who likes to have fun and one day while the circus was in town, he was helping on the mainline. Charlie found the shunting boring compare to the fun of the circus and he didn't like how the other engines put there work first and he carried on ignoring and playing. That was until an accident had occurred.

Charlie learnt his lesson in the end though. By 1967, the circus ceased operation and Charlie was later sold to the Fat Controller, he's a bit wise engine nowadays but still crack a few jokes and the engines tend to like them as Charlie improved them.

## Personality

Charlie has a reputation for being a really fun engine. He has an unquenchable desire for fun, games and play, and is said to have been the favourite engine of the Mainland Controller. Charlie can get easily distracted by his japes, sometimes distracting others in the process. He can be pouty, huffy, and teasing at times, but he always wants everyone to be enjoying themselves. Often though, Charlie has to learn that the opinions of others, keeping calm and working hard to completing jobs foremost, are important if when wanting to be a Really Useful engine.

Lady Jane Hatt

**Jane, Lady Hatt** (1880-1976) also known as **Dowager Hatt** was Sir Topham Hatt I's wife and Sir Charles Topham Hatt's elderly mother.

## Biography

Jane Brown married Mr Topham Hatt in 1910, and they had two children together; Barbara Jane, born the year after their marriage, in 1911, and Charles Topham, born three years later in 1914. Upon Topham receiving a Baronetcy in 1948, Jane became Lady Hatt. She lived with her husband in Wellsworth. She became a widow upon her husband's death in 1956.

In 1968, when her son caught a cold, Jane Hatt forced him to stay home and ran the railway in his place. Unfortunately, she proved herself to be unqualified for her son's position, and confusion and delay quickly ensured when she forced the engines to perform trivial tasks for her, such as sending Thomas to collect a new hat for her from the docks and gave engines tasks unsuited to their abilities, such as having Percy pull the Express. When Emily pointed this out to her, she was saddened that she had failed her son. Fortunately, by working together, Jane Hatt and Emily were able to get the railway back on track by the time Sir Charles returned that evening.

In her visit to Sodor in 1973, Thomas was charged with bringing her to Kirk Ronan, where Gordon would then take her on a VIP tour. She later visited Sodor several times, including once to celebrate her birthday.

During her youth, she used to be a very good opera singer, though her son does not like hearing it. She owns a Dalmatian, which she renamed "Gremlin" after her adventure with Gordon's "gremlins".

## Personality

Lady Jane Hatt was a bit of a thrill-seeker, a big opera singer and hates going slow and resting. She loved her son, Sir Charles, and much like him, she did not stand any nonsense and is shown to be stern with him when he does not do what she tells him to do just as he is stern with his engines, even though he is an adult.

## Attire

She wearied a dark pink dress with cream buttons and pockets and a cream hat with a dark pink flower on it.

Dryaw

**Dryaw** is a small village and station on Thomas' Branch Line. An airfield is located nearby.

## History

The village began as a worker village for the staff of A. W. Dry & Co., a company working on reclaiming tidal land from the sea. The hutments built by A. W. Dry for his work-people behind the first reclamation bank were rebuilt in permanent form as brick or stone cottages when footings became firm enough to support them. These formed the nucleus of a village. As work went on more and more land to the west was drained and settled, mostly in plots of one or two acres. The soil, when leached of salt, proved fertile and now supports prosperous market gardens.

A Heliport belonging to the Coastguard Service is near the east bank of the river.

Dryaw has two railway stations. The old one on the Harbour Line is now a Goods Depot with a staff of two responsible to the Stationmaster of Elsbridge. It is near the village centre, ironically making it better suited for passenger trains. Workmen's trains stop here as do most goods trains, and it is not unknown for Goods Guard's to have a van full of passengers on market days for Elsbridge or Knapford as the case may be. The Passenger station is on the Main Branch, inconveniently away from the village. It is unstaffed, has a good car park, and a service of 7 trains a day each way is provided.

In the television series, Dryaw appeared in almost every series until the switch to CGI Series, before returning in the seventeenth series. It is depicted as being next to airfield, and consists of two platforms connected by a footbridge, with the western platform having a station building. Since the nineteenth series episode Reds vs. Blues, Dryaw FC has been located on the eastern side of the station.
