    The LMS served Euston, not London Kings Cross, that was served by the LNER. Respect to him for attempting to educate on the old Big Four history.

    I just wonder how so many people thought Henry got left in the tunnel even though he was released in the next episode. Did everyone just miss the fact he’s a main character and has been in hundreds of other episodes?

I have searched you name and it comes up with your name on youtube but a lot of them have you in lots of other groups so i just thought id ask you if you had your own channel.

    Pre nationalisation, Kings Cross was/is LNER, not LMS. So not the right livery for the terminus either. A great western loco, in LMS livery, at an LNER station. If only they’d used Southern Rolling stock then all the big four would have been represented!

    As a Thomas the Tank Engine found this just hurts my brain no henry was not left in the tunnel to rust away and die, he was let out in the next bloody episode.
    It always annoys me that people always claim that this is how it ends and he was left to rust there and die, no he wasn't he was let out in the next episode god dammit.

    Thomas the Tank engine, or the Railway Series, strived for as much realism as possible. And then the tv show kinda ruined that after the early days.
    Henry is fine, he came out the next episode.

      I agree that the armoured train from Goldeneye is awesome, alongside the train sequence from Octopussy.
      I assume by Castle that’s really a Hall you’re referring to Olton Hall as the Hogwarts Express.
