Henry's Magic Box

"Henry, you are an old and kind engine - but you worry too much!"

- The Fat Controller

Henry's Magic Box is the twentieth and final episode of the fourteenth series.

Plot
It is Christmas time on Sodor and Henry is alone in the sheds. He is not happy as he wants to be busy like all of the other engines when the Fat Controller soon arrives and gives him a special special. Henry has to take a special box from the docks to Farmer McColl's field and then tell the other engines to go to the field at teatime. The Fat Controller also tells Henry to take special care of the box. Henry soon collects it and takes it to Farmer McColl's field. When the box is unloaded, Henry is worried about leaving the box all on its own in the field. However, he knows he must tell the other engines to go to the field and so he chuffs off instead.

He first meets Gordon at a junction, but is too worried about the box to tell him to go to the field. Instead, he hurries back to the field to check on his box only to find that it is gone; in its place are five Christmas trees. Henry worries that the Fat Controller will be displeased, so he goes to find the missing box. While looking for the box, he meets Toby and James at a junction. Again, he is so distracted about his box, he does not tell them to go to the field at teatime. When Henry arrives back at the field, he sees even more Christmas trees - but no box. At a junction, Henry meets up with Thomas and Percy. However, he still does not tell them to go to the field at teatime because he is still too distracted by the missing box.

Henry continues looking for his box at the Fenland Track, Maithwaite and sidings, but he cannot see his box anywhere. Henry sadly steams back to the field, where he sees an entire forest of Christmas trees. The Fat Controller is there and explains that the trees were inside the box. Henry feels silly and knows that he must tell the engines to go to the field at once. He soon does and, later that night, they all gather at Farmer McColl's field. However, the Fat Controller is absent. Suddenly, the Christmas trees are lit up by colourful festive lights and out from the forest comes the Fat Controller, dressed as Father Christmas and his assistants as elves.

Trivia

 * Going by production order, this is the second episode of the fourteenth series, but was supposedly held back to air during the Christmas season.
 * The episode was re-narrated for Merry Winter Wish UK DVD to replace the "Winter Holidays" lines with "Christmas Holidays" in 2011 due to Hilary Fortnam's negative complaint to HiT Entertainment over the episodes from the UK DVD, Little Engines, Big Days Out saying "Winter Holidays" instead of "Christmas."
 * This episode marks the last of several things:
 * The last episode dubbed in Swedish until the twenty-second series episode, Number One Engine.
 * The last episode dubbed in Greek until the seventeenth series episode, Kevin's Cranky Friend.
 * The last episode dubbed by Claes Ljungmark in Sweden.
 * The last episode dubbed by Ron Druyan in Israel, and the last to air on the Israeli Educational TV.
 * The last episode written by a producer until the twenty-fourth series episode Yong Bao and the Tiger.
 * This would have been Pierce Brosnan's last episode if he kept on working since The Great Discovery.
