Percy lives on the Island
of Sodor with many other locomotives, including Thomas the Tank Engine, Gordon the Big Engine and Henry the Green Engine. He is the smallest, youngest
and probably cheekiest, of the principal steam engine characters. He carries the
number 6 on his bunker.

The
Fat Controller brought him to Sodor when there was an engine strike
due to a shortage of shunting engines. The bigger engines initially tried to
bully him, but Percy soon showed that he was more than capable of standing up
for himself. After a few years of shunting at the Big Station, the Fat
Controller promoted him to goods traffic on Thomas' branch
line. When not pulling trucks, he can be seen pulling the post train
or even taking Annie
and Clarabel when Thomas is busy. Percy's best friends are Thomas and Toby.

He is reasonably experienced, but can still occasionally be a little naive
and overconfident. In that sense, he is the perfect foil for Thomas – who can be
just as headstrong.

The Troublesome Trucks (love to play tricks on the engines who haul
them. They will often push, drag and hold engines back while chanting loudly.
Their behaviour is sometimes unprovoked, but occasionally they seize an
opportunity to cause trouble as retaliation for an engine's abuse. They also
don't like over-confident new engines who start giving orders, and will often
play tricks on them to put them in their place. The trucks don't seem to care if
they get damaged when playing a trick. They have been the cause of many
accidents on the railway, and many engines dislike working with them.
