![]() ![]() ![]() Henry does not find the jokes funny and is very upset.įinally, Cranky lifts Henry back on the rails, but the damage Henry sustained has soaked his boiler and rusted his wheels. Then some children laugh at Henry and call him a green whale, while others insist that he is a monster. Cranky teases Henry that he will have some "fishy" tales to tell, much to his annoyance. Henry is towed back to the docks in the barge to be lifted back onto dry tracks. He ends up in a barge full of fish with a seagull perched on his funnel, where the Fat Controller sternly tells him that engines are supposed to deliver fish, not swim with them, which he should know by now. The next day, when the tide is high enough, Henry and his fish are craned out of the water. The damaged track has soon been completely submerged and Henry derails and plunges into the sea with his train, coming to a stop offshore and spits out a mouthful of seawater. Once Henry reaches the Coastal Track, his hopes for a fast run are dashed as heavy fog rolls in and neither he nor his driver can see the track ahead. This ends up with the signalman unable to hear the warning and only does so when Henry is far away. The yardmaster quickly phones the signalman to reroute Henry, but Henry is anxious to make up for lost time and passes the signal box. Inside the yardmaster's office, the yardmaster tells James' crew that Henry is taking the Coastal Run this shocks the driver, as he has already stated about how dangerous it is to big engines. James attempts to apologize and warn Henry of the danger, but Henry scoffs off the warning and orders him to have his trucks hitched to the train. He is cross with James for being late and smelly. It is already dark once James arrives at Brendam Docks, with Henry waiting for him. The guard erects a red lamp post by the damaged track as a warning spot to engines and states that he will tell the signalman at the docks to close the line. The driver determines that the tracks are safe enough for a smaller engine like James, but not a heavy engine like Henry. James' driver decides to go inspect and they soon arrive at the unsafe area. Later, James is travelling along Tidmouth Beach when he is further delayed by a man waving a red flag the man informs him and his crew about some tracks that have been eroded from high tides and he has marked the spot. His driver and fireman find it very funny, but James is less than impressed and sniffs at the odour. The fishermen, however, are using old equipment and James is beginning to worry about being late when a loose crate of fish drops onto his boiler, spilling fish all over him. James is at Tidmouth Harbour and is about to take vans full of fish to Brendam Docks for Henry's train, The Flying Kipper. ![]()
