Description
One of the most notorious stories in the railway series and the original Thomas series is the Sad Story of Henry or Come Out Henry in the US. Not only was this the debut of Henry the Green Engine but also it served as the failed pilot for the BBC's attempt to adapt the stories. Henry's vanity of his paintwork convinced him the best way to stay dry is to hide in ballahoo tunnel. After several attempts to get him out, the fat controller built a wall in front of Henry, trapping him. It was only with the untimely breakdown of Gordon and Edward unable to move the train that allowed Henry to be freed.

From top to bottom: C. Reginald Dalby's original picture, David Mitton's live-action adaptation and Greg Tiernan's CGI remake.
