Henry

BIO
Henry was built as a strange mix of engines.

In 1919, An unidentified rival builder to Sir Nigel Gresley Sent a spy to steal the GNR A1 Blueprints.

The Spy however, failed and took the wrong drawing, which was of an engine that Gresley had experimented with, but had deemed unsuccessful.

The Blueprints that the Spy took were of an engine that was a mix between a C1 Atlantic, and Gresley's new Design, the A1 Pacific.

The Rival Builder however, didn't realise he had the wrong blueprints until he had finished.The result, was Henry. Once realising the mistake, he quickly put Henry up for sale for a cheap price.

Bertram Hatt was desperate for new engines at the time, and accepted the offer. Little did Bertram know, he had just been tricked.

Henry was a very poor steamer, as Gresley has found out with earlier tests. Henry continued to have steaming problems until 1935, when he Suffered severe injuries in a Crash with The Flying Kipper caused by Sam Richmond and Hugo.

TECHNICAL DETAILS
Henry was originally based on a mix of the C1 Atlantic and the work-in-progress A1 Pacific.

Not long after his crash in 1935, Henry came back from the works as a LMS Black Five.
