Synopsis

The big engines are teasing Edward that he will not be allowed out because he is too weak, but when the engineer sees him upset he offers to take him out. Edward goes to get some coaches, and, after a few moments of panic waiting for the conductor, they start off and Edward has an enjoyable day. Gordon is bragging about pulling the express, but when Edward is shunting Gordon comes past with a long goods train. Gordon deliberately stalls at a hill and Edward comes as a "banker". At the top of the hill, Gordon races ahead, and Edward gets puffed out but is pleased with the prospect of a new coat of paint. One rainy day, Henry stops in a tunnel and refuses to move. Her crew, the passengers, another engine and even the Fat Director try to get her to move, but to no avail. Eventually, they have her bricked up, and they double track the other tunnel. Gordon is pulling the Express when he bursts his safety valve outside Henry's Tunnel. Edward tries to pull the train, but cannot. The Fat Director lets Henry out of the tunnel so that she and Edward can pull the train. They later help Gordon home, and Henry is rewarded with a new coat of paint.

Fan Casting Henry the Green Engine(NWR #3)

Role added by ltathena on July 24, 2023

Back to Top Make Suggestion
Description of Henry the Green Engine (NWR #3):

Henry is a green 4-6-0 mixed-traffic tender engine who works on the Main Line. She was originally a failed prototype engine, and will eventually need special Welsh coal to operate properly. Following her eventual accident when pulling the Flying Kipper, Henry will undergo an extensive rebuild, giving her a new shape and a better performance. KEEP IN MIND: I prefer to write and hear Henry as Male-to-Female transgender with the transition to being female brought on due to her accident with the Flying Kipper that necessitates her rebuild. So, I will respect if you prefer to keep Henry as a male in your OWN fan castings. Only suggest FEMALE actors for the voice of Henry in MY projects.

  • ltathena For those of you wondering why I write Henry as female, my headcanon is that she was MTF transgender and the accident with the Flying Kipper and subsequent rebuild as an LMS Black 5 also came with a free gender reassignment overhaul from male to fully female courtesy of Sir William Stanier. And even before that, (when male) Henry identified as female and both the Fat Controller and the other engines respected it by using the preferred female pronouns in talking with and about her.
