Es war einmal eine kleine grüne Dampflok namens Percy ... Den ganzen Tag über hatte Percy nichts als Unfug im Kopf. Mal trieb er seine Späße mit Gordon, mal hielt er James von der Arbeit ab. Doch als Percy eines Tages eine Schulklasse am Strand abholen musste, geriet er in schlimmes Unwetter. Jetzt musste er beweisen, dass mehr in ihm steckte als dumme Streiche auszuhecken.
Wilbert Awdry Bücher
Wilbert Vere Awdry, bekannt als P. W. Awdry, war ein englischer Geistlicher, Eisenbahnenthusiast und Kinderbuchautor. Sein bleibendes Erbe verdankt er Figuren, die er 1943 erfand, um seinen Sohn während einer Krankheit zu unterhalten. Diese Erzählungen konzentrieren sich auf das Leben und die Abenteuer von Dampflokomotiven und ihren Freunden, wobei Awdrys Stil oft moralische Lehren und den Zauber der Eisenbahn hervorhebt. Seine Werke bezaubern auch heute noch Leser weltweit mit ihrer zeitlosen Anziehungskraft und ihrem Charme.







Diesel glaubt, die stärkste Lokomotive der Welt zu sein und möchte das beweisen, als er Henry vertritt. Doch die ungezogenen Güterwagen sind von seiner Angeberei genervt und planen einen Streich gegen ihn.
Auf der Insel Sodor herrscht Wassermangel. Daher können die Lokomotiven nicht mehr regelmäßig gewaschen werden. Percy leidet am meisten darunter – schließlich muss er die Arbeiten verrichten, bei denen man besonders schmutzig wird. Als er eine Ladung Zucker zur Schokoladenfabrik bringen soll, freut er sich: Das klingt nach einer „sauberen Sache“. Doch dann kommt alles anders als erwartet …
Tag für Tag schon Thomas fleißig die Personenwagen auf den Gleisen herum. Morgens zog er sie zum Bahnhof und stellte sie in die richtige Reihenfolge, damit sie mit den großen Lokomotiven auf Reisen gehen konnten. Und wenn die Züge Abends zurückkamen, brachte er die leeren Wagen wieder weg, damit sich die großen Loks sich ausruhen konnten. Aber was sich Thomas am meisten wünschte, war eine eigene Eisenbahnlinie.
