Henry Holds Back

The third story of the 40th Anniversary collection, adapted from an original story by SiFs Chris Sig, and featuring (for the last time) @tomsmodellingcorner as the storyteller.
Henry's first chance of the Express is set back as he performs poorly, but can he hold back his temptation to show the new engine what he's capable of?

This is the bridge between Thomas and the Breakdown Train and Edward, Henry and Gordon that I didn’t know I needed until now. Your attention to detail and story flow makes this feel like a lost VHS tape. 📼

[@arthurengine]

Interesting to see this story takes place during Thomas and the Breakdown Train. And man is Tom's Modelling Corner's Ringo Starr impression impressive.

[@tomsmodellingcorner]

Wow, Thank you so much! 😄

[@DarthWill3]

_"Henry won't need pushing, Sir. I'll have to hold him back."_ Way to use that quote for the title of this episode. 👍 Henry might be slow in this design, but he's proven to be reliable. James _could_ learn a thing or two from him. 😉

[@CraneProductions27]

That was a story I never expected to see. Henry and James's first meeting was good, and I felt sorry for Henry when he was having problems going slow. I loved the last bit where James got roasted by Gordon and Henry. These early stories that take place between stories by the Rev. W. Awdry are just amazing 😀.

[@funlalabryant2204]

I ✨LOVE✨ how you're making stories that happen between episodes we already have context to! It's an extension to existing episodes, and gives us a different point of view from another engine during said events! This is brilliant and outstanding! Please keep up the great work! 💖

[@englishtwister]

A wonderful bedtime story before I turn the light off and sleep.

[@geobluecropperstudios6784]

Feels like another unseen Season 1 episode.

yes before the kipper accident and welsh coal

[@DevonLMS]

Not a bad episode I could really imagine this being in the season 1 series, I very much enjoyed it. It woild be very nice to see Henry more in season one. 10/10, I enjoyed it

[@Brendanvio]

I’m admittedly very fond of these season 1 style episodes as that was the season of my childhood. I particularly enjoy the way you’ve filled out the world alongside the Allcroft-Mitton episodes.

[@CoronaMacGuinness]

0:38 Yikes, way to turn a happy ending into a jumpscare! 😆

[@harrisonallen651]

Nice interpretation on how James arrived on Sodor during season one

[@matthewspencer7948]

Another excellent story for the adaptation, and I do feel sorry for Henry because of his small firebox and his old shape, but no matter how fast or slow he goes, he’s still a really useful engine

[@cybershroom9240]

This was pretty pleasant! Im a fan of the idea of doing fan episodes where its just a different characters POV during a canon story.

[@JurgenYongJY96]

Wow, another wonderful episode, I love how this story for taking place during Thomas and the Breakdown Train is an brilliant idea, can't wait to see it more and I love it!

[@Watermillfilms]

I’m loving your adaptions. You have the feel spot on. And the night lighting is lovely.

[@TheSudrianStoryteller]

Another grand marvellous episode. Very well done!

[@antoniogirgenti9738]

Like a deleted scene for Thomas Saves The Day. Nice.

[@WillandChloe]

This is a good story that I really like with Henry & James meeting for the first time and taking place between two stories too, magnificent.

[@ReallyUsefulPinkEngine29]

Amazing story that takes place during Thomas and the Breakdown Train!

[@GamingDelight]

2:43-2:50-- 98462 cameo. Wasn't he supposed to have been kicked out of the Northwestern Railway by then?

[@TheBritFromOz008]

He may well have been working for the LMS by this point. I’m guessing he’s just an available model used to populate the set, as Britt, David & Co. frequently did with James and the Marklin engine in the opening stories of Season 1.

[@MarcusArline-rk1td]

I felt sorry for Henry 😔

[@tomsmodellingcorner]

Thank you so much Callum for giving me the opportunity to voice for these three videos! Was an absolute pleasure recording for you, and it was even nicer to be part of a project with Chris Sig and FlyingKipperStudios, both I have worked with before and it felt just like the old days! And what fantastic stories too, really thought out, and the visuals were very nostalgic! All the best for your next project!

[@xaneckstein455]

This would indeed have to be another lost episode of Season 1!

[@VHSandStoryUploader89Lives]

I like to think of these stories as "The Railway Series In-between Stories", seeing as they lead to the ones we all know

[@Dat_1_Guy_Ethan]

I have to say Henry’s theme in the beginning of this is so majestic, props to Sudrian Afro ^^

[@darthwinsor]

I like how the author captured the essence of the big engines always taking jabs at each other, even on James first day.

[@Thomasmemoryscentral]

Gordon sounded a little more respectable to Henry during the cheeky jabs at James. Telling him that he should teach the new engine to pull some safe slow trains

[@elih.3093]

The amount of incredible work that you make with each of these episodes, and im so excited to see more! As always, keep up the delightful work! 👍😎👍

[@romacechina]

Another very good episode set in S1, this time with Henry in the lead that shows what he was up to during the period between Edard, Henry and Gordon and Thomas and the Breakdown Train. Like the way you have Henry's issues affecting him pulling the express and the way he loses it, and gets depressed of pulling slow trains instead. I was a bit surprised to see James in Red here compared to black, since you had done Fire and Smoke, which I thought was fantastic, added a lot to S1 and mentioned in the description that it was a S1 flashback. Of course that episode did contradict the TV series of James being red, but since the TV series often tripped over itself I thought it was no big deal. I still see Fire and Smoke as part of canon along with this one. I liked the cameo of 98462 in the background, good way of connecting his appearance in Spiteful gesture and In with the Old. Along with 4471 as well. Great work again mate and keep them coming

[@AppalachianRailfan99]

I am loving these stories!!!

[@PlayDontPause]

Really liked this one! Another anthology story showing a different side to what happened in the official show. The only thing I don’t really get it the title. Henry wasn’t really ‘holding back,’ he just…couldn’t go fast. I’m not sure what I’d rename it to. Maybe ‘Slow and Steady’…’Slow Going’…eh, hard to say. But I guess if the biggest problem I have with the episode is it’s title, that’s pretty small potatoes.

[@livesteam125]

I felt "Too slow" was a basic title, Henry held himself back from going fast even though he couldn't help it... unlike James...

Also the narration of Tom is better than Bruce Alexander, but no offence about Bruce, it’s just that whilst narrating, he actually sounded like he was singing and a little bit of something, I wish I could do narrating something like that, but if only I could

[@jamar3797]

This narrator almost sounds like Ringo Starr

[@jonathanlafferty2271]

How did James crash? Was he painted red after his accident when he used to painted black?

[@stuartbarclay7940]

Very good work!👍

[@savvadance7006]

I know why Henry was too slow to pull the Express its becuase he was in his Old Shape.

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

Wow

[@ConnorJamesNeville]

I think the main reason Henry was hulling the express train that slow is because he's using the wrong sort of coal for his firebox, now you see if he'd have thought to have welsh coal before he first came to the island and bring the long train of welsh coal along with him he would have zero steaming issues

Why is James red not black

[@thesudriana016]

That was also applied in the TV adaptation of Breakdown Train in S1 due to budget constraints, this is just to match that.

[@jeremythomaswebb1485]

@@thesudriana016 That makes sense. I heard that some of the coaches were painted differently on each side to give off the illusion that was more variety with the rolling stock. There were some coaches that you only saw from a certain angles. I don't know if this is true or not but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. It's amazing how much they did in that first season with the budget they had.
