**Percy** is the Number Six Engine. He works on Thomas' Branch Line as a goods engine. He’s also in charge of pulling the mail train alongside Thomas. Despite their falling outs at times, he and Thomas remain the best of friends.

## Bio

When the big engines went on strike, Sir Topham Hatt purchased Percy to help shunt in the yard for the other engines. Percy worked very hard and pulled trucks and coaches on the Main Line, as the big engines were shut up in the shed for their behavior. After all his hard work, Percy, along with Thomas and Edward, went to play on the branch line for a little while. Later, Percy took some trucks on the Main Line and waited by the signal box so the signalman could switch him back to the Yard. Edward had told Percy to whistle to alert the signalman that he was there, but Percy forgot to whistle and nearly had a run in with Gordon and his express coaches. Startled, Percy rushed off leaving his driver and fireman behind, before eventually derailing in a siding. Gordon congratulated Percy for preventing a nasty accident and Percy promised to be more careful from now on.

Percy has since then had many adventures from being afraid of a dark tunnel to crashing into a heavy snowbank. Eventually, Percy found that working in the Yard was too much to handle, so Duck was brought in to take over, leaving Percy to go and help pull the mail on Thomas' Branch Line.

One time, Percy developed a grudge against Cranky after he damaged Duck's boiler to stop him whistling. While, Cranky was placed in the quarry for a while as punishment, Percy cheekily began blowing his whistle to annoy the creaky crane. However, this didn't end well as Percy ended up losing his whistle after blowing it too hard and was shut up in his shed for a while until he got a brand new one.

## Personality

Percy is the junior member of the principal team of engines. He is a happy little chap who's normally quite happy puffing around the yard with no particular desire for adventure in the great world outside. Percy enjoys pulling the mail train, especially with his friend, Thomas. He is always keen to oblige, a fact of which the other engines are apt to take advantage. However, Percy is a clever little engine and puts a smile on the face of everyone he meets.

## Livery

Percy is painted in the North Western Railway’s green livery with red lining and has a yellow number six on his bunker sides.
