* TearJerker: Henry having high hopes for pulling the Kipper nicely and being allowed to pull the Express, Express; only to wake up on his side, badly damaged and embedded in the wreckage of the two goods trains. Before the Fat Controller comes over to help, [[DespairEventHorizon Henry despairingly muses that he's only good for scrap]].

* SpecialEffectFailure: For some, the spectacle of Henry's crash is ruined a bit when you notice the hand pushing his model. Thankfully, it's easy to miss due to the scene being so darkly lit, but it's still one of the most famous goofs in the entire series. [[note]]This could have been adverted if the camera was pointing slightly more to the right showing the trucks catapulting from the impact, but hilariously, no.[[/note]]

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Despite that little hiccup, however, the rest of the episode is gorgeous to look at. From the dock setting, to the nighttime shots, it’s easily one of the most beautiful-looking episodes of the classic seasons.

Added DiffLines:

* FridgeHorror: While the narrator says "they got out just in time" after the driver said "Come on fireman, back to our engine", nothing is said about the guard's fate (whose post is in the brake van), although it's likely he escorted both men back to their engine as he's seen getting up with the driver.

Killed Off For Real isn't a YMMV Trope


* KilledOffForReal: What Henry’s fate was originally supposed to be. Awdry’s original plan in this story was for Henry to be scrapped after his accident, but ultimately rewritten to have Henry get [[EmergencyTransformation redesigned into a LMS Stanier Class 5MT]].

* NightmareFuel: Henry's crash scene is pretty unnerving to watch until you realize...
** Additionally, this is one of the few accidents in the series where people's lives were put in legitimate danger. In both the book and tv version, three men were drinking cocoa in the break van that Henry didn't just collide with, but smashed to pieces. The narrator even says that the group got out just in time, meaning that they probably exited the van to see Henry steaming towards them, forcing them to run for their lives. If the guard and driver had not been so devoted to their duty...

* StockFootageFailure: In the two last close-ups of Henry, he is in his old shape. In "Coal", there was a nearly identical close-up of Henry in his new one. From this, it can be judged that the episodes were filmed concurrently and the editors mixed up the footage. In the same shot, a small gap can be seen between Henry's eyes and his face mask and some sticker lining on his cylinder is peeling off.
