Trivia

  • To date, Percy, Toby, Bill, and Ben are the only engines to have been built from scratch. All other models use existing bodies from previous Hornby models.
  • The Hornby Percy prototype was originally going to be a modified Caledonian Pug, but Britt Allcroft really didn't like it, so it was decided to be built from his basis, the 0-4-0 saddle tank engine by the Avonside Engine Works. 
  • Percy (along with Thomas), had blue and green running boards, whilst their re-released 2015 models had white ones.
