Bio
Percy was built by the Avonside Engine Company on the Great Western Railway. He was brought to Sodor to help out with shunting after Gordon, James and Henry went on strike. He worked Thomas's Branch during that period, and soon became very close friends with Thomas. Afterwards, he worked as station pilot at Tidmouth until 1955 when Duck arrived and Percy went to work on the building of Knapford Harbour. He also had his infamous race with Harold the Helicopter and helped get some children home during bad weather. He still works on Thomas' Branch, usually handling the goods trains on the line with The Truck, but also does maintenance work around Sodor, and occasionally gets jobs on the Main Line. He also seems to carry on a rivalry with James.
Basis
Percy is based on the Avonside 0-4-0ST, No. 5340 'Trojan' but with a class 1361 bunker and Hunslet parts
Livery
Percy is painted in NWR green with red lining and the number '6' on his cab with a red border and builder's plates.
Persona
He is a cheeky little engine with no desire for adventure in the big world outside. He is always keen to oblige, a fact of which the other engines are apt to take advantage.
