The Adventures of Thomas & Bluey S1

Chapter 15: Henry Feels Left Out (AKA Special Coal)

A/N: This Foreword was written After the Events of "Chloe and Henry's Night on the Flying Kipper". 

Dear Friends, 

Here is more News from Sodor, Thomas, Bluey, and all the other engines and their puppy companions. 

I expect you are sorry for Henry, for he was often ill and unable to work, which made Chloe, his companion, really upset, and gave Sir Topham Hatt, who of course is still our "Fat Controller" a lot of worry. 

But, he found a short compromise in coal from Wales before Henry was rebuilt into a new Shape and now can do anything quite well.

Book 5: Chloe and Henry: Friends to the End

Chapter 15: Henry Feels Left Out (AKA Special Coal)

Story Told by Mark Morhagan

"Welcome to Sodor, Pop. 75,000, give or take..."

Created by John Andrews 

One Morning, Henry was feeling very sorry for himself. Sometimes he could pull trains well, but other times, he felt like he had no strength at all. 

Henry: You know James... I suffer dreadfully and no one cares! 

James: Rubbish, Henry! That's ridiculous! You don't work hard enough! 

Chloe: (as James Leaves) Don't listen to him, Henry! You work just as hard as anyone else here on this railway!

Sir Topham Hatt spoke to Henry as well. 

Sir Topham Hatt: What's wrong, Henry?  You're getting too expensive! You've had lots of new parts and new paint too, but they've done you no good! If we can't make you feel better, then we must get another engine instead of you to do the work. 

Chloe: (gasped) Oh no... 

This made Chloe and Henry very sad indeed. Chloe, mostly, because she feared she was going to lose her closest friend besides Bluey. 

Later that day, Sir Topham Hatt was waiting when Henry arrived at the Platform at Knapford Station. Sir Topham had taken off his top hat and suit, and put on overalls, from back in the days when he was an engine driver himself.
