In the UK version, Starr says "When The Fat Controller came back, He did see James and Percy too.There are differences between the UK version and the US versions:.In the restored version of this episode, when Sir Topham Hatt was cross with James and Percy, instead of showing both Percy and James, only James was shown.This episode was based on the story of the same name from The Railway Series book, Percy the Small Engine.That night in the sheds Gordon and James talk about signals while they think it's funny, Percy was less than impressed. Percy quickly and quietly finishes his work. Percy is eager to leave before he was seen, but it was too late, Gordon goes passed and sees that Percy fell for the trick. The driver laughs, then tells him the truth. Percy's driver was shocked and quickly stops him, but Percy insists that it's a backing signal and tells his driver about what Gordon and James had said.
Soon Percy arrives at a signal set to danger however, when its arm moves up instead of down, Percy, having never seen anything like it before, guesses that it's a backing signal and begins reversing. Percy, keen to show off, claims that he knows all about signals and leaves, but worries as he has never seen or heard of a backing signal before. They claim that they were talking about being careful with the signals at the junction, especially "backing signals". Gordon and James then put form a plan and put it into action. He was boasting that he was chosen as he's a really useful engine, but James thinks he probably just wants him out of the way. When the Fat Controller gets back, he does speak to James as well as Percy, telling them both off for causing trouble.Ī few days later, Percy was showing off to Gordon and James as the Fat Controller has asked him to take trucks to Thomas' junction.
James was horrified and quickly leaves to find Percy, but Percy had decided to make himself scarce. The inspector points out the Fat Controller couldn't send a message as he was away. James refuses and tells him about the message the Fat Controller sent. Finally an engine inspector arrives and tells James to move. The other engines are angry over having to do James' work as well as their own. As a result, he refuses to leave the shed when his driver and fireman try to take him out. James was delighted, thinking the Fat Controller wants him to pull a special. He then goes to James and tells him that the Fat Controller has sent a message for James to not leave the shed. Gordon was angry and tries to think of a way to pay Percy back. Gordon jumps, thinking he was running late, only for Percy to reveal a line of dirty trucks. First, he wakes Gordon up by telling him that his train was ready. Although he works hard, he can also be very cheeky. Percy works in the yard, collecting coaches and trucks that the bigger engines need for their trains.
