Henry, Henry, Henry. Everyone loves Henry the Green Engine. A majority of fans have him in the Top 10 and hell a majority of those have him of Top 5. The reasons he is the Mecca fan favourite can come down to a number of reasons, his epic, epic theme, his whole journey from a failed hybrid to arguably the most capable engine on the NWR, the variety of stories that both fans and the show itself came out for him no character has a greater range of stories than Henry his whole arc in the RWS, his whole portrayal in the model series and some moments of brightness in CGI. It seems despite all his love from the fandom, Henry is actually, in my opinion, probably the most misunderstood character of the entire franchise. Most fans view him as the picture at the top of this discussion but the reality is more to the picture above this text. Henry is easily the most layered, complex character, no-one can deny that but the fact is even most layered, beautifully complex character has a core trait and Henry is No exception. And this really leads into the meat of this discussion. See the fandom and the show have very different takes on the character but they share one common mistake. Too sweet, too kind, too smiley, too soft and way too gentle, these traits are not really ones that were ever a true reflection of who Henry is. As a result a majority of fans seem to greatly change the character, to being a very pleasant, friendly engine from the beginning, always smiling, growing in wisdom and inner confidence. That his true best friend was Edward, he always liked the tank engines and that he now has wisdom beyond belief. He was a poor steamer and likely treated poorly by his original designer, who then scammed the Fat Director into purchasing Henry, who he marketed as an Atlantic.

This feels so unique to his character and a to a trait that I think often gets overlooked a lot by the fandom, which MikeD57s pointed out in a recent comment. Thinking it was the abominable snowman, Spencer henry ttte to run away, henry ttte.

Henry is a green mixed-traffic tender engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor , and is the North Western Railway 's number 3 engine. He originally had a smaller firebox and needed special Welsh coal to operate properly. Following his accident when pulling the Flying Kipper , Henry underwent an extensive rebuild, giving him a new shape and a better performance. When Henry first came to Sodor, The Fat Controller was unhappy because Henry could not steam properly due to a smaller firebox. Then few years later when it was raining on the Island of Sodor , he was vain and stopped in his Tunnel and refused to come out, believing that his paintwork would be spoiled by the rain. After several attempts to move him failed, he was bricked up in the tunnel for a duration of time, between several weeks to a few months, until Gordon broke down while pulling the Express.

Henry and the Express is the thirty-seventh book of The Railway Series. Dear Friends, When I went to see Henry recently he was moaning about not having had a book to himself for ages. But I would and I have. It might teach Henry not to try to tell me what to do. The Author. The North Western Railway starts using a new type of coal, which creates more ashes and gives the engines indigestion. One day, Henry cannot make it past Wellsworth.

These traits also make him more level-headed than his fellow big engines, who often find him trying to keep them in line, being the trio's voice of reason. Which means all the slack Duck got about being nothing but a fan service magnet, technically Edward and Henry at one point were the same. Edward the Blue Engine. Fantasy Thomas the Tank Engine.

Henry is painted in NWR green with red lining on his cab, splashers, tender, cylinders and boiler and yellow lining around his windows. Sir Topham Hatt agreed to purchasing some in order to give Henry "a fair chance". Unlike several other Southern Atlantic tanks, these were reliable runners who steamed quite freely. Look at most of the Narrow Gauge Engines who were either run ragged trying to keep their railway alive or losing their railways entirely and being locked away. I would actually go so far as to say the worst year for Henry in general is , the 70th Anniversary year no less. However, they were let out again after promising to work hard. After returning, Henry was added to the rotation for the Express and pulled it so well that he made Gordon jealous. While he does not usually mind pulling trucks, Henry dislikes having to shunt his own trains, a trait which he shares with Gordon and James.

But somehow, during the 70th Anniversary, fans were actually somehow, ok with this worrier Henry, despite the Miller era using the exact same personality which was slated back then. So contrary to what people state, Henry is one of the best characters in the books, his whole backstory and character arc are so layered and multidimensional and none of it would be possible without his all the tedious drawings, and messy illustrators or the idea that Awdry made him so selfish to begin with. He has, on occasion, gone out of his way to help try and save trees he fears are in danger of being cut down, and has been shown to become depressed when the forest is damaged by storms. When Gordon's brother Flying Scotsman visited Sodor, Henry was jealous of the visitor's second tender. When his channel is hopefully reinstated, the video will be added.

Before his rebuild, Henry is a freelance design, combining aspects of the Black Five shape and his original shape in The Railway Series , as budgetary constraints prevented the crew from constructing two separate models for him. And if someone does something that challenges Henry, he gets very irritable and actually very bad tempered. This is clearly seen in this opening shot, yes Percy was bragging and ultimately deserved his comeuppance but Henry is no saint as we see in the intro.
