Henry

"Don't Call me Old Square Wheels!"

Early Life (1919-1940)
Sir Nigel Gresley was a famous locomotive designer, he had built the Flying Scotsman, Mallard, and other famous engines. However, he also had a competitor, he was an anonymous locomotive designer that had a grudge against Gresley. In 1918, he hired a spy to steal engine blueprints, but what he didn't know was that what he stole was a prototype, he didn't realize this until the next year, the engine had been completed. Henry was a combination of an A1 Pacific and a C1 Atlantic, because of this unfortunate combination, his firebox was inefficient. The builder couldn't have cared less and sold him to the Fatt Controller in 1940.

Present Years (1940-Present)
In the NWR, he dealt with the likes of Ethan and Simon. He, however, saved his passengers in 1945 by hiding in a tunnel, with a rhyme that went like this: "Once an engine attached to a train, heard the sound of lightning and rain, a tree fell in front of the tunnel, he went in and squeaked through its funnel, and waited until it was safe again". In the Thin Clergyman's books, he hid in the tunnel because he didn't like rain, despite being angry about this, he found the book, just okay. In 1950 he was repainted to be green and unfortunately participated in a strike involving unfair jobs. In 1951, his firebox problems returned, therefore he needed to use a special brand of Welsh coal, however, it didn't end up mattering, as he had a massive crash with the flying kipper, and after being in Crewe for 3 months. Now, all his problems have been fixed!

Personality
Henry is generally well-behaved and friendly but is sometimes arrogant. Henry is at heart, a very hard worker, but his frequent bouts of illness hinder his work. His illnesses almost always have something to do with his boiler. 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.
