Whistles and Sneezes

"It isn't wrong... but we just don't do it!""

- Gordon

Whistles and Sneezes is the twentieth episode of the first season.

Plot
Gordon is jealous that Henry got rebuilt and complains that Henry whistles too much, but his whistle valve later gets knocked out of place, causing him to continuously whistle until his valve gets knocked back in.

The next day Henry is pulling a passenger train when some naughty boys drop stones on him and his coaches. Henry and his crew plan their revenge, and at the bridge they blow ashes at the boys, causing them to run off as black as soot.

Trivia

 * Stock footage from Coal is used.
 * This is the first time an engine sneezes. The second time was in Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
 * In the restored version, a few fade effects are missing.
 * At the end of the UK narration, the narrator says, "Henry went home very pleased with himself. He had taught Gordon and silly boys a lesson, with a whistle and a sneeze". In the US it's changed to, "Henry went home, hoping that next time he saw Gordon and the boys, they would have learned not to be so mean".

Goofs

 * Edward was in the shed when Gordon insulted Henry, so why would Henry need to explain it to Edward?
 * In the close-up of Henry before the boys throw the stones, he is in his old shape.
 * The coach windows were broken, so it wouldn't make much difference if they were kept shut.
 * The boys were already "ashed up" before Henry sneezed at them.
