Season 1 Episode 19: The Flying Kipper

It is winter and he find that Henry has to be up early in the morning, to get his Egg McMuffin on. Oh just kidding, they are picking up a fish train called, "The Flying  Kipper". The driver also thinks this is their opportunity to knock Gordon off The Express.

And after we knock off Gordon, we get Thomas

We find that The Flying Kipper is the fish that arrives at the dock that needs to be trained off to far away lands. 

In the morning, Henry arrives minus the Egg McMuffin to take The Flying Kipper. There was snow and frost on the rails. But, everything goes down perfect and Henry is set to go.

Smells like fish

Poor Henry is going along beautifully. I can not snark at this at all. The scenery and detail they put in on this set is beautiful too bad, I know bad things are going to happen. 

Henry is passes a green signal and everything seems alright. But the next signal is yellow. His driver was gearing to stop but, they found that another signal said, "All clear." so they head through. 

Ah here it goes, the points are frozen and the other signal should have been set to "Danger". 

On a siding, a goods train is waiting for Henry to pass. The crew is enjoying coco in the brake van. They decide to get their train ready to go since Henry should be there any second. They escape at just the right moment. 

I like my coco with danger

Henry smashes right into the back of the goods train.

I honestly have never felt so bad for a model train in my life

Poor Henry, I feel so bad for him. I remember this episode actually made me tear up as a child. 

Henry derails and this is the saddest picture ever.

Someone needs a hug

The Fat Controller arrives to see the carnage. Henry explains that the signal was down. The Fat Controller is actually understanding this time. He explains the ice had screwed up everything. He also tells Henry that he is getting plastic surgery in the form of a new shape and firebox.

Henry gets his procedure done and heads home happily. I crowd gathers to see his new shape. Everyone cheers for him. 

Looking hot, Henry.

Henry also now gets to pull the express which makes Gordon jelly. 

I am so glad Henry made it.
