Despite his appearance in the episode, Henry does not appear in the nameboard sequence at the end of the episode in the Japanese dub. In the restored version, when Gordon is approaching Percy, Percy's eye movement is different compared to the original version. This was the last VHS released by Festival Records and CEL Home Video in Australia and New Zealand, respectively. When the narrator says "Gordon was very cross," there are bushes beside Gordon instead of the yard and sheds. The DVD was originally released exclusively as part of the Best of Collection DVD boxset in October 2003. It later was given an individual release in February 2004.

Gordon is waiting outside platform 2 for his coaches, but when Thomas puffs in, Gordon and his coaches are outside platforms 3 and 4. Watch out! They are coming through. Thomas, the little blue engine and his friends are off on eight more exciting adventures with their friend and storyteller Ringo Starr. For an engine, being late can leads to lots of trouble. A broken break van causes a bit of bother and it takes a "Deputation" to save the day. Thomas discovers that doing away with his driver can have disastrous results. A change can sometimes be worse than a holiday and there is nothing more annoying than a certain fuss pot diesel who won't do her fair share of the work. Some engines can always keep on the rails but what happens when the rails are the wrong ones? The Deputation - When Donald and Douglas come to Henry's rescue, the other engines give the twins their full support. Whistles and Sneezes and Tender Engines actually have Henry as the main character. However, Gordon is a supporting character in both episodes.

His job is to fetch coaches for the other engines and then take them away the engines are done pulling them and when the passengers get out.
