Percy Helps Out

"You're heavier than a steamroller and a bulldozer put together!"

- Nelson to Thomas

Percy Helps Out is a Jack and the Sodor Construction Company episode released on Thomas' Trusty Friends/On Site with Thomas.

Plot
Nelson gets tired of his job of always having to carry the other machines to and from work & back home. Nelson wishes that he could be carried for once. That night, Nelson had a dream that he was being carried, until Miss Jenny woke him up next morning that Thomas had an accident at Maithwaite Crossing & Sir Topham Hatt needs Nelson to take him to the repair yard.

Nelson arrived to see that Thomas came off the rails and broke a wheel. Nelson was careful to load Thomas, but commets that he's heavier than a bulldozer & a steamroller put together, much to Thomas' surprise as he's only a tank engine. While on their way to the repair yard, Thomas was impressed with Nelson, and how nice it was to be carried for a change. Nelson told Thomas he wanted to be carried to, but does think anyone is big enough to carry him.

Nelson arrives on time where Sir Topham Hatt was waiting & he praises him as a really useful truck. Miss Jenny needs Nelson back at the yards, so Nelson said he'll drive as fast as he can, but Sir Topham Hatt said that won't be neccessary when Percy arrived to carry Nelson back to the yards, much to Nelson's delight. Nelson was loaded onto Percy's flatbed. Nelson was having a splendid ride, and it was as magical as he had dreamed.
