During the big engines strike after Thomas left the yard, Sir Topham Hatt went to the engine workshop to purchase an engine to take over shunting duties at Knapford and he chose Percy and the little engine was shown what to do by Edward. While the big engines were shut up in the sheds, he ran Thomas' Branch Line with Annie and Clarabel while Thomas and Edward were working on the Main Line.
Shortly after the big engines were let out again, Percy forgot to whistle at Wellsworth to remind the signalman that someone was coming and that he was there, causing Gordon to nearly derail him with the express. Fortunately, Percy was able to start just in time to avoid an accident, however running all the way to Lower Suddery without a driver or fireman where he landed in a bank of Earth. Luckily, Gordon was there to pull him out of the bank.

Percy is a rather cheeky, but kind engine. He normally behaves well, yet he also gets himself by jumping into situations without adequately thinking them though first.
