Hasty Henry

Hasty Henry is a magazine story.

Plot
Gordon and Henry are in the main station yard waiting for their coaches and trucks respectively. They begin to boast about how tender engines should not shunt. Gordon said he could shunt if he had to but is glad for tank engines to do the job so he can save all his strength for the express. Henry says he is also strong enough for the express but that an engine needs to be even stronger to pull The Flying Kipper.

Percy arrives and tells the engines their trains are ready. He laughs at how two important engines spend so much time squabbling. Gordon and Henry then decide to see which engine is faster. Henry is sure he can go to the harbour, collect the fish and come back in no time but Gordon does not agree.

Unfortunately for Henry, he gets to the harbour before the fishing boat even arrives and must wait. Once everything is loaded, the stationmaster informs Henry to be careful but Henry is already steaming away as quick as he can. Henry ends up going too fast over a sharp bend and two of his trucks topple over, spilling their fish everywhere. The Fat Controller scolds Henry for causing a delay and Henry and Gordon feel very sorry for themselves.
