"I wanted an Atlantic, and that respectable gentleman gave me exactly that! Now can someone get this gas mask off me? I've had it stuck on my face since the Great War, and all I can eat with it are milkshakes!"

[@yaboi5932]

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.

I would’ve loved to have awdry’s original designs for the engines to be introduced in the series as their own characters

[@LMS5935]

C1 Atlantic is truly a beautiful engine in terms of bases the C1 Atlantic would be better for old shape Henry but story-wise Henry wouldn't be well Henry as we know him today

[@rmarsh9387]

Awdry stops rolling in his grave for a whole minute, "finally, someone got my henry right"

[@littlewesternstudios7787]

Everybody gangsta till Henry embraces Atlantic

[@traingoddess]

The side rods moving is so visually satisfying to me and IDK why.

I WANTED A BLACK 5, AND THAT _ _ _ SENT ME THAT!!!

my favourite model train is my Flying Scotsman... its the only proper model train I own

[@ethan_playzroblox4265]

Lord sakes, Donnie! It's Awdry accurate Henry!

[@jamiee7367]

If I remember correctly, Christopher Awdry wrote that, in universe, Sir Topham Hat had ordered Henry as a GCR 8B.

[@the_autism_express]

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)

[@donaldthescotishtwin]

I’ve seen both these surviving locos in person. They are amazing.

[@majorkilroy5608]

Dude I really respect how you call Henry your rarest and most favorite train to collect. And I say this outta the fact that Henry is my favorite engine of all time😎

[@cadenthecadburyengine8198]

Perfect! Once I heard Henry was supposed to be an Atlantic, I couldn’t imagine him being anything else.

[@Mildcat743]

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.

[@jlaws8740]

What with WildNorWester's own Atlantic (a GNR C1 named Alice), I can definitely agree that the GNR C1 Atlantics are very beautiful, and I'm lucky to own a Bachmann model myself.

[@Theonlyoneandlonely]

Here comes Atlantic Henry!

gotta love the reference to season 5 episode “teething troubles”

[@BigLadStudios]

Alternate universe where Henry and Thomas were exactly how Awdry invisioned them
