“I wish the wishing tree would last forever and ever!”
― Henry

Henry Gets It Wrong is the fifth episode of the twelfth series.

Plot

One summer morning, the Fat Controller comes to the sheds with bad news that a summer storm had hit and that the wishing tree was struck by lightning. The Fat Controller tells Henry to collect some woodsmen from the docks and take them to the forest before their boat leaves for the Mainland.

Henry arrives at the forest on his way to the docks and is shocked to see the wishing tree had fallen. When Edward tells Henry that sometimes trees cannot be saved, Henry is more worried than ever that the tree might get cut down. Whilst heading to the docks, he sees Toby had broken down on his track and is blocking the line. This gives Henry an idea to block the tracks to the wishing tree so no one will cut it down and he takes Toby's trucks for him. He also collects Thomas, Percy and Emily's trucks for them and Henry goes to the forest. He shunts the trucks and the line is blocked.

At the docks, Salty is asked to take the woodsmen to the forest, but he cannot get through since the trucks are blocking the track. Harold flies from above Henry and tells him that the woodsmen are trying to save the tree and without them, the tree will get cut down. Henry realises his mistake and takes Toby's trucks to the depot, Thomas' empty trucks to the quarry, Emily's trucks to the coaling plant and Percy's trucks of empty milk churns to Farmer McColl's Farm. Henry collects the woodsmen and takes them to the wishing tree. They clear and cut the fallen branches and Henry helps by pulling the tree back up. Henry wishes the wishing tree will last forever and ever and smiles.

  • The Thin Controller's CGI model is used to represent the dock manager.

Goofs

  • The wishing tree has been relocated to a different part of the forest.
  • In the US dub, Henry's line "I'll take your freight cars for you," is out of sync each time it is heard. This is due to the animation not being edited, as Henry's mouth moves to say "trucks."
  • It was said that Emily was taking her trucks to the coaling plant, but Henry delivers her trucks to Knapford Yards instead of the coaling plant.
  • In one scene, Emily's second front wheel on her bogie is derailed.
  • Emily's side rods slip briefly as she backs the empty trucks to Henry's line.
  • Salty's cap brim is missing when he comes across the line of trucks blocking the line.
