Plot
Henry is ill and the Fat Controller fears he will have to be replaced if he cannot improve. The next day, the Fat Controller rides in Henry's cab. Henry is unable to go further than Wellsworth and Edward takes over. The fireman tells the Fat Controller Henry's firebox is too small and he needs Welsh coal.
