#Sodor workshops gordon driver
When Percy got back to the sheds, he heard the Fat Controller talking to his driver, and Percy thought the Fat Controller wanted to scrap him when he told the driver "He go to the scrap yards". Once, he arrived late at Brendam Docks, leading the Dock Manager to speak with the Fat Controller. Percy also believes the things are real to himself when they're not true. Percy has still been bullied a lot by others (including by Cranky, the Horrid Lorries, 'Arry and Bert), only for his tormentors to later get their just desserts. Henry and Percy made up and Henry assured Percy that the weather would be warmer the following day. That night, Thomas and a clean Percy prepared to go to sleep happy that the firelighter had agreed to arrive earlier the next day. James joked that Percy found a 'scarf' after all and ran off to tell Henry. However, the porters did not hear him either and Percy crashed into their luggage trolley, ending up covered in jam with the Fat Controller's hat on Percy's lamp iron and his best trousers wrapped around Percy's funnel. The cold did not affect Percy's cheekiness however, as he planned on startling the coaches by coming in quietly.
Henry remarked on the silliness of an engine wanting a scarf, but Percy bit back with a comment about Henry's funnel size. As a result, his workday led to Percy obsessing over scarves and seeing everyone around him wearing them. One winter, the cold was severely getting to Percy, so he tried to think about warm things. However, the trucks were unfamiliar with Percy and when he ordered them about, they decided to seek revenge by pushing him onto a line of stone trucks that caused an awkward predicament. Fed up with taking the milk for her, Percy offered to take Toby's trucks for him while he took the milk. When a diesel railcar named Daisy came to look after Thomas' Branch Line, she constantly kept leaving behind the milk van every time Percy shunted it for her. He was naughty when he asked the trucks to push him past a danger notice, only to end up in the water until he could be lifted out and taken to the works by Henry. Thankfully, he got some help from Harold (who dropped supplies of hot drinks for his crew and the passengers) and was able to get the children home.ĭespite being really useful, Percy was prone to having accidents were due to him sometimes acting naughty or being careless. When Percy had to take the Sunday School children home, he came across a flooded paddock which swashed away his fire. He met a self-centered white helicopter named Harold who said that railways were "slow and out-of-date", so Percy decided to race him and won. With Duck's arrival, Percy was sent to Thomas' Branch Line to help build Knapford Harbour and has stayed there ever since as a goods engine. After this, Percy was subject to bullying from the big engines until Duck arrived and helped Percy to put the big engines in their place, although Percy still received a reprimand from the Fat Controller for it. Percy was still a cheeky engine and often liked to play jokes on Gordon and James, only for the two engines to have their revenge when Percy failed to recognize a "backing signal". He was rescued by Gordon and took up the duty of station pilot at Tidmouth. Gordon managed to stop in time, but Percy was so frightened, he ran away and ended up stuck in a sandbank. Percy was later waiting at Knapford, but forgot to whistle to the signalman and thus was startled when Gordon came running towards him with the express.
At first, Percy liked to annoy the big engines. Bringing him back to Sodor, Percy was charged with running the branch line while Thomas ran the Main Line with Edward and was allowed to stay after the big engines surrendered and returned to work. When the engine said that he was willing to work hard, the Fat Controller bought him and named him Percy. At the engine workshop, the Fat Controller saw a green saddle tank. Sometime Between 1925-1935, when Gordon, James and Henry went on strike in protest of fetching their own coaches following Thomas' departure to run his branch line, the Fat Controller decided the railway needed another tank engine.
He is said to have been found to contain Hunslet parts, among others, according to workers at Crovan's Gate. Percy was built sometime after the turn of the 20th Century, by the Avonside Engine Company, and had a subsequent rebuild in the period before he was sold second or third hand to the North Western Railway by a factory on the Mainland.
