Henry's Hike

When the Richard Topham Hatt account announced that his story "Henry's Hike" was free to adapt, I jumped at the chance. This is definitely my biggest and most ambitious solo adaptation so far. It's been about a year in the making, and I don't think I could've pulled it off without some great people in the Thomas community, including my always wonderful voice cast (and narrator, Demon of Nowhere). But the score, courtesy of the amazing Lion's Mane Orchestra, has really transformed the special into something... special. That said, whether it's special or not is for you the viewers to decide, so I hope you all enjoy it.

At the start of a new year, Henry has to take a fast train of hikers across the Island of Sodor. But he runs into trouble when his valve gear is wrecked. He decides to finish the journey on one cylinder, against all odds, to prove to his fellow main line engines that he's not "idle" like they claim he is.
