Percy is a green four-wheeled (0-4-0 Tank) steam engine with the number 6 painted on his coal bunker. Percy first appeared in 1950 in the 5th book in Reverend Wilbert Awdry's The Railway Series, entitled 'Troublesome Engines,' and was given his own book, No.11, 'Percy the Small Engine.' He frequently works with Troublesome Trucks.
All of the locomotives in The Railway Series are based on real historical engines; Percy has a resemblance to a typical 0-4-0 tank locomotive built by the Avonside Engine Company of Bristol in the early 20th Century.
The idea of Digitrains was conceived over the dinner table and grew very slowly as doubts calmed missionary zeal. We finally took the plunge in January 2005 and are fortunate to be dealers for some of the best and most user friendly DCC equipment available.
