Percy the Train is Favorite Among Children in Today’s Toy Market

 

Percy the Train was reborn in 1979 when the British writer/producer Britt Allcroft came across the books, mortgaged her house and used her savings to bring the stories to life as Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (later simplified to Thomas and Friends). The program became an award-winning hit around the world, with a vast range of spin-off commercial products.
“Percy the Train” is a favorite train on the Island of Sodor. It seems that he´s always involved in the best adventures. He had his gooey mix-up at Mr. Jollys Chocolate Factory and his icy cold run in with scary Jack Frost and finally Percy’s mishap with the coal and no wash. No one, not even Sir Topham Hatt, knows where Percy really came from. He´s an 0-4-0 Avonside saddle-tank engine who has spent much of his time on Sodor keeping Henry and Gordon in their places.

Percy arrived on Sodor in 1949 and did so well in his first assignment as Tidmouth Pilot that Sir Topham Hatt rewarded him by asking him to help with the building of the new harbour at Knapford. Now his job is to pull the mail car, but sometimes he helps Thomas on the branch line and in the yard at Farquhar.
