Once in a Blue Moon

Note: this original story is not open to adaptations in any form.

05/10 - This version has been updated from the original version with the current titles and a reshot scene towards the end of the episode

This will no doubt come as a surprise to many who no doubt will have watched 25544SHADOW's "Just the Way", that was being developed around the same time as I was making this story... his story was very much developed differently from what this one focus' on... how Henry's blue coat led to trouble...

Set in the format of Series 1, and taking place between the events of James and the Coaches and Troublesome Trucks... the illustration seen in Tank Engine Thomas Again and the idea of James being repainted blue gave me the idea for this improvised story that was visualized first, then scripted second.

Thanks to Chris who has been a great help with past projects in finalizing the script, and to Tom for kindly agreeing to narrate this one. :)

It's fair to say there have been very few stories developed around Henry's blue RWS livery yet plenty of customizations of toys and models... and whilst I couldn't get square buffers to be featured in the story... here's hoping this will fit the canon of the TV Series quite well.
