    is an LMS Stanier Black 5 bought by Bertram Topham Hatt. in 1923, however, Henry was different. He was a mix between an LNER Gresley A1 Pacific and GNR C1 Atlantic. Due to this problem, he was a poor steamer, until Topham bought Welsh Coal for Henry to use, it proved successful until 1935, when Henry was pulling The Flying Kipper, and collided with a stopped goods train, damaging him horribly. He was sent to Crewe to be re-built into a Black 5, and returned with no steaming issues at all.
