Henry

**Henry** is one of the oldest engines on the North Western Railway. When he first arrived on the island, he had several steaming problems, stemming from his firebox size and the type of coal. At first, he took special Welsh coal to solve this problem, but after his accident with the Flying Kipper, he was sent to Crewe, and rebuilt into the engine he is today. Henry, along with Edward and James, are mixed traffic engines. He is able to take much longer freight trains and passenger trains than the latter two, making him a valuable asset to the railway.

## Personality

Henry is generally well-behaved and friendly but is sometimes arrogant. Henry is also sometimes really worrisome, as shown in multiple occasions. He has shown instances when he was either moody, arrogant and vain, but proud, strong and witty. Unlike Gordon and James, Henry does not mind pulling trucks, especially as he is a mixed traffic engine, although when he is given the job of pulling the express whenever Gordon is unable to, this can get to his smokebox and he can act full of himself. Henry is the most likely to be respectful to smaller engines such as Thomas, Edward, Percy and Toby on a regular basis. He does not frequently antagonize his fellow friends, and usually shows remorse for his actions. Because of this, he is often considered much more friendly than Gordon and James. Henry has a thoroughbred look and like all thoroughbreds, tends to be somewhat highly strung and prone to illness which hinders his work. His illnesses almost always have something to do with his boiler, but after his accident with the Flying Kipper, he has a new shape now and is sympathetically driven, he'll give any engine a run for it's money.

## Appearances

### Season 1

#### "Past Tales"

Henry was seen at the sheds with Thomas, Percy, James and Gordon as Edward told them the story of Bertram. Once he finished, Henry said it was a beautiful story and that he loved it.

#### "The Mines"

Henry was talking with Percy at Maithwaite Station. Percy suggested that they go to the mines to find Bertram. Henry was a bit skeptical about the idea and asked about their jobs. Percy said the trip would not be that long and so the two engines leave the station to go to the mines.

Later, the two engines arrived at the mines. Henry said it looked a bit dangerous. Percy just wanted to go in and so the two engines go into the mines in search of Bertram. The two engines got into the mines and thought it was pretty cool. Henry just imagined if they found Bertram. Then they heard a noise and thought it was Bertram trying to scrap them. The engines ran right out of the mines, only to find Sir Topham Hatt standing right in front of them. He was very cross with them because all of the trains were late. Percy was not there to shunt the trains and James had to take Henry's goods train. The two engines were punished in the shed for a week.

#### "Dirty Diesel"

#### "Evil Arrival"

At Tidmouth Sheds, Thomas and Percy told Henry and the other engines about Diesel 10, the new engine. Henry said all diesels were weird and crazy saying they should not trust any of them, expect BoCo and Mavis. After that, he left the sheds.

#### "Sodor On Edge - Part 1"

Henry showed up at the station while Gordon and Sir Topham Hatt were talking. He overheard Gordon saying he was such a failer with the express and takes offense to it.

#### "Sodor On Edge - Part 2"

Henry was at the meeting being held by Thomas. He explained that Percy, Stepney and Arthur were captured at Diesel 10's hideout. Douglas said Donald has not come back either. Soon a white engine named Stanley comes too and introduces himself. Bill explains he had three brothers: Stepney, Stanley and a twin named Ben, who was sadly not alive anymore. Stanley explains that Diesel 10 and Bert killed Ben. After some conversing about what to do, Henry said to play it simple for now and maybe that night when he was finished with the Flying Kipper, he would go to Diesel 10's shed and see if he was up to anything. Thomas told him to stay safe. Later on, Henry said Diesel 10 was not in his shed the previous night. Gordon said he was about to go on the daily gold dust run at 2:00 pm. Suddenly they all heard an explosion and saw Toby's remains. Henry was shocked by the impact.

#### "Sodor On Edge - Part 3"

Henry was seen with the other engines looking at Toby's remains while Mavis was cleaning them up.

Later on, Arry comes up to the steam engines and the engines didn't trust him at first, but Douglas and Henry told the other engines to let Arry speak and then Arry said that he was sick of the treatment Diesel 10 was giving him and wants to join the steamies' side. They reluctantly agreed to let him join.

#### "Sodor On Edge - Part 4"

Henry was seen at the station with Thomas, Duck, and Stanley. Stanley said that he would shunt the coaches and Thomas says thanks to him and that he is kind. Stanley then leaves.

Henry was present at Thomas' meeting at the station. Things were getting serious because Toby was now dead, engines were kidnapped and Tidmouth Sheds was destroyed. James asked Thomas where they were going to sleep. Thomas had no idea but Mavis, Bill and BoCo suggested that some of them could sleep in the Quarry. Thomas agreed and ended the meeting. That night, Thomas, Stanley and Duck went to sleep in the quarry with the quarry engines and soon fell asleep.

Henry was going to sleep at the scrapyards but he caught a glimpse of Toby's remains and left. He arrived at the quarry to sleep with the other engines. Douglas was the only engine awake at the time while the rest were sleeping. Douglas said it did not feel right sleeping in Toby's shed. Henry explained he did not want to sleep at the scrapyards. Douglas questioned him but he brushed it off. Henry even called Douglas “Dougie”. Douglas complains how he only likes it when Donald called him that and the two engines go to sleep.

#### ''Sodor On Edge - Part 5"

The next morning, the engines woke up. Mavis told them that they would be late for their jobs if they didn’t leave and they then left. Henry was one of the only engines seen at the station later on for Thomas' meeting. The others being Gordon, Duck and Douglas. Gordon went to fetch Emily and the quarry engines at the quarry. Stanley then arrives at the station, telling them that Diesel 10 had James and Edward on the edge of Mount Sodor. Thomas, Douglas and Henry left at once while Duck and Stanley stayed behind.

#### "Sodor On Edge - Part 6"

Soon enough Thomas, Henry and Douglas arrived at Mount Sodor. Thomas and Henry told Diesel 10 to let their friends go. Diesel 10 refused, but made Thomas a deal: If Thomas told Diesel 10 where the gold dust was, he would have to stay and die with him, but the other engines get off free. Thomas was having a hard time deciding. Diesel 10 got impatient and tells Arry and Bert to push Edward and James off. Bert pushed James off the cliff, leaving Thomas, Douglas and Henry shocked. While everything was happening, Diesel left Mount Sodor with Henry in pursuit of him.

The two engines went down to the bottom of the mountain. There was a truck with a bomb on the line. Diesel smashed into it killing him in the process. Henry was able to survive, but the impact caused him to him to get flung off the line.

#### ''Back To Crewe''

Henry had finally woken up, however, the other engines learned he was missing. He was taken to Diesel 10's hideout. Diesel 10 was about to use his claw, Pinchy, to destroy him. Henry was begging not to die and was also shocked that Stanley was working for the diesels. Stanley revealed he always sided with them and just came to them as a spy. Henry realized his fire was lit and he bashed Diesel 10 out of the way and made a run for it but derailed at some faulty points. Donald soon arrived and noticed Henry off the line. He explained that everyone was looking for him everywhere. Henry was put back on the rails by him and the Breakdown Train and explained everything that happened including Stanley being a spy.

Later on, it was time for Henry to go to Crewe. All the engines said their goodbyes as Donald shunted Henry to Crewe.

#### ''Playing Dead''

Henry arrived at night near Sir Topham Hatt's house. He was finally mended. Sir Topham Hatt decided to keep his return a secret by having him puff down the line and not say anything. The engines would know and Sir Topham Hatt would jump in saying he's dead. Henry agreed and decided to sleep at the Kirk Ronan Branchline.

The next morning, Gordon was pulling the express when he saw what looked like Henry running around the island. He decided to tell everyone. He told Edward first.

Later on, the engines were gathered at the station after Gordon told everyone about the fact that he saw Henry pass by him. Molly was not on Sodor when Henry left and wanted to meet him. Sir Topham Hatt soon arrived. Arthur told him that Henry was caught roaming around the island. Sir Topham Hatt says he got a phone call from Crewe saying Henry was "dead". Gordon and the others were shocked about Henry's supposed death. He said he was sure he saw him but was sad that he was "gone".

At 2:00 PM, Henry's "funeral" was held. All the engines were upset. Molly was sad that she never even got to meet him. Soon, Henry appears and revealed that Sir Topham Hatt made up everything to scare everyone. The engines were not happy with the prank but were glad Henry was back. Henry asked where BoCo, Arry and Donald were. Thomas and Douglas explained that they were dead, the diesels were dead and how Percy sided with them. Henry also got to meet Molly and afterwards, he went to visit Percy at the sheds, leaving Thomas, Douglas and Molly behind.

Percy was still stuck in the sheds when Henry came to visit him. Percy was glad to see him again, and said he was bored from sitting in the sheds. Henry remembered when they went to the mines together and decided they should go again. Percy was not sure at first. Henry said they would not get into trouble because he had to pull the Flying Kipper in a few hours and Percy had no work due to being punished. Percy agreed.

The two engines arrived and like before, went inside. The two engines went to explore and even tried finding Bertram again. They could not find him and then decided to go home.
