My Favorite Model Locomotive Of All Time: Bachmann's C1 Atlantic (Awdry Styled Henry)

[@traingoddess]

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

[@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.

[@FunAngelo2005]

Yes,but the C2s have those

[@milessaxton]

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

[@vietnamesesmerf508]

I personally don’t like adding to many AU characters because it just becomes a convoluted web of characters, projects and everything else. Buuuut if engineered into the story well and limiting the number of AU characters, it can be pretty cool! I would love to see a j50 or a c1 on sodor

[@milessaxton]

@@vietnamesesmerf508 yeah, there is a risk of bloating. But of course a little bit is good

[@jamiee7367]

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.

[@rmarsh9387]

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

[@Spelling-ch2]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@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) 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

[@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😎

[@littlewesternstudios7787]

[@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

[@Jokerfan45]

Well, you never know what fans can come up with.

[@superplushtiman7ti075]

Although from what I gather Hatt wanted a C4 Atlantic of the GCR

[@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!

[@8kokushibyou8]

Such beauty. Such sleek design. I love it.

[@munipalsfanboything]

I saw your Tweet and thought you just ripped the door of, I didn’t know it was removable and can be put back on. I have wanted one of these for a long time.

[@lukechristmas3951]

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.

[@comicfan1324]

Awdry would probably approve

[@imatrainperson1195]

I like to imagine that Henry is always mad because he has to pull heavy goods trains, not exactly what the C1 was built for.

[@TheBeatles15]

My great grandad drove No. 990 Henry Oakley in service a good number of times, I still have his handmade tin lunchbox with his name stamped in the top from the footplate, it still has coal dust in it!

Also, when typing this, I just realized how perfect Henry being a C1 is because of the name of one of the only ones preserved, “HENRY Oakley”. Coincidence?! Yeah, definitely. However the other preserved C1 looks more like the drawing, though.
