    Simple answer to the head cannon loophole. Henry starts as a boot leg Small boiler C2 with more problems than usual because of the lack of quality during manufacturing. This causes him to rely on Welsh coal. After the kipper crash he's sent to Doncaster instead of crew and upgraded to a much better quality Large boiler C1. This also makes scone because in awdry's drawing his boiler is rather slim.

  • @the_autism_express
    @the_autism_express 3 роки тому +26

    I feel like if Henry did remain a C1 Atlantic, he would have a few issues, but not to the point of special coal or a rebuild (though, he probably would get the same slide valve to piston valve upgrade the other C1s got)
    And I don't know why, but I feel like awdry's spirit is happy about us recognising his idea for Henry better than the RWS illustrators

  • @jamiee7367
    @jamiee7367 3 роки тому +29

    If I remember correctly, Christopher Awdry wrote that, in universe, Sir Topham Hat had ordered Henry as a GCR 8B.
    As for Wilbert Awdry, though his early illustrations definitely show that he originally conceived Henry as an Atlantic, there are no sources for if he had a _specific_ locomotive class in mind. Looking at Awdry's drawings of Henry (plus Edward & Gordon also) they seem fairly generic, not really matching any specific class, so I don't think that he did.
    Looking forward a bit, Gordon didn't really become an A1 Pacific until Payne's illustrations, & Edward wasn't really a Furness K2 until the TIoS book. If the illustrators hadn't messed up drawing Henry, then it probably would've been the same, with Wilbert Awdry settling on a specific class of Atlantic for Henry later on. And who knows, maybe Awdry _would have_ made Henry a C1, or an 8B, or something else. We can only guess.

  • @Mildcat743
    @Mildcat743 3 роки тому +7

    Given the downsized boiler of the C2, I think it's entirely possible that Henry could be a prototype that's essentially a C2 with a lengthened boiler and frame to accommodate a third driver set. The extra boiler space without a properly enlarged firebox could very easily cause his steaming problems.

    Now this I can believe it being your favorite! So far no one produces a GCR Class 8B in OO, so a GNR C1 Larger Boiler is the perfect Awdry style Henry! The fact that the designer for the C1s was named Henry almost seems like writing on the wall! And let's be a opened minded here: 98462 doesn't always have to be a Holden S69/B12...he can be a 4-4-2.
