Thomas & Friends Henry Toy Train Collection Mysterious No3 Engine

- Thomas & Friends number 3 engine is Henry. He's a big green engine similar to Gordon. Henry is a major core character in Thomas and Friends stories going right back to The Railway Series. But for some reason Henry is given short service in the thomas toy line. In the Thomas movie The Adventure Begins the important early design of Henry and storyline is ignored. There was a time when Henry No3 looked identical to Gordon No4, but a railway accident saw Henry rebuilt to the modern Henry we know today. The original look of Henry and his conversion to blue is something that is rarely examined apart from a 60th Anniversary Thomas Wooden Railway Henry that pulls all sorts of different prices on e-bay. My toy investigation into Henry started after meeting a small boy at St Lukes 2016 train show. This boy asked me if I had a Trackmaster Classic Henry. This video is my look over the Henry toys I could find in my Thomas toys collection and how difficult it was for me to find more Henry toy trains. I only have one Trackmaster 2 Henry and I feel it's the most difficult engine to find. But why? I could go out and buy literally hundreds of Toby's, Percy and Thomas but the larger engines can be very tricky to find. I haul all my Henry collection together and I feel the best person to own these is the boy who so politely asked me for a Trackmaster Classic Henry. And in true leokimvideo style I find more than just Henry Thomas toys to make this an awesome surprise prize after a 6 month wait for me to make it happen. The small boy now has my Henry's and I'm certain they went to the perfect person who will look after them forever.
Henry is an LMS Stanier 5MT mixed traffic engine. Originally the hybrid shape of an GNR A1 Pacific and a GNR C1 Atlantic, and a poor steamer, Henry was rebuilt into his current shape in 1935. He is a kind engine, but can sometimes be moody or worrisome. In The Railway Series Henry was vain and stopped in the Ballahoo Tunnel and refused to come out, citing that his paintwork would be spoiled by the rain. After several attempts to move him failed, he was bricked up in the tunnel until Gordon broke down while pulling the Express. As Edward was unable to move the train himself, the Fat Controller offered to let Henry out of the tunnel to help. Henry eagerly accepted.
Henry performed very well and the Fat Controller promised him a new coat of paint, since Henry's existing paintwork had been spoiled more by his stay in the tunnel than it would have been by the rain. Henry asked to be painted blue like Edward. However, many people confused him with Gordon, to the bigger engine's annoyance. The matter was worsened after a trip to the Works when Henry was given spares of Gordon's buffers. Sometime before 1935, Henry, when again offered new paint, chose green and so ended the Gordon/Henry confusion. It would be epic if the real story of Henry being blue was explored in todays Thomas stories and have toys that reflect this change. Sure it would cause confusion and delay but that's all part of the fun. If James can be black, surely Henry can turn blue.

This is the biggest example of going "above and beyond" I've ever seen. Good on you Leo, I'm sure Nathan will love it.
I love how he says he's going to put the rest of the Tomy trains away "carefully" back in the tub but he just roughly pushes them aside
I still remember several of these engines and set memory lane ,Leo I'm so proud of how far you went
I remember getting my wooden railway Henry when I was young and it's magnets were backwards and that made me happy because my Toad that I already had also had backwards magnets so if I had Toad at the end of Henry's trains Toad would facing the right way.
I also found TrackMaster 2 Henry hard to find. Whereas there were endless amounts of Toby's at every store I went to, I've only found two Henry's during that time period.
"I thought I got rid of all my Percy's" lol. I have been looking at getting the 60th anniversary Wooden Henry with the blue and green. I saw it for less than $30 and passed. Should of got it.
Henry has always been a favorite of mine and I treasure my ERTL Henry's.
They had Henry in a blue livery for like 2 books. Awdry changed it because children kept asking how to know the difference between Henry and Gordon.
yes the throwback to the shake shake bridge set which nock off thomas blew up on
Aww, that was so nice of you to throw in almost an entire collection of Thomas and Thunderbirds (which I think I need to watch) toys. I wish you could have filmed his reaction. I would've gone mad if anyone gave me ANYTHING Thomas. (and still sort of do :P) That was really cool of you to do, I daresay he has more of a reason to like Henry now! (and Thomas, and Culdee, and Gordon, and Luke, and Sidney, and Victor, etc etc. lol) Great vid!
Man that HO Henry brings back memories from when I was around 5-6 and well to put in perspective I’m gonna be 16 in August. Leo you make the best videos and I’m very sad you no longer get rewarded for your great work.
hi leo, i just wanted to say thanks for being who you are, not many people would even think of doing half the things you do and i admire that, i was also wondering if you could do a video on your collection of Edward since he is the engine that started this whole franchise
Bless your heart, Leo! you always go above and beyond the call of duty! especially when it will make a little boy or girl happy!
This video honestly feels like a classic Leokim video!
I saw Stepney, looked like he was happy to see you again
Oh my god... that is the nicest thing I have ever seen anyone do!! You gave away TONS of your toys for a kid that asked for one :) If I were Nathan I would never let go of any of those! Good Job!!😊
I would love those remote control Percys. The remote control track-master stuff was amazing.
Nathan is one blessed boy! You are so generous! !
Boy do I miss those good ol days.
I had recently ordered a 2018 Plarail Henry because he’s my favorite character, with that being his backstory in the original Railway Series.
