A Scarf for Percy

"A Scarf for Percy" is the third season pilot. It aired in September 12, 1991.

Plot
The cold winter conditions have woken Thomas and Percy up early, and to keep their mind off the cold they talk about warm things. Thomas jokingly suggests Percy wears a scarf, and Percy takes him seriously. Percy is later in the yard, trying not to let the coaches hear him. Unluckily, neither do two porters, and the trolley they're pushing is crushed, showering Percy, the Fat Controller and several passengers with jam and ruining the Fat Controller's top-hat and special trousers, both of which were on the trolley. Percy is given the trousers to use as a scarf, and Percy promptly changes his opinion about scarves. That evening, Percy is cleaned, has the trousers taken away, and is told by Henry that the next day will be warmer.

Goofs

 * Percy's trucks disappear at Dryaw.
 * When Percy puffs alongside Henry, look behind Percy and you'll see that the track he was on leads to a dead end!
 * Percy shouldn't have bumped up when he hit the trunk; in fact, he should have crunched it to splinters.
 * When Percy's wheels bounce after hitting the trolley, look at the porters; one is wobbling a bit.
 * In the close-up of the jam landing on the Fat Controller, pause the shot and run it in slow motion: you'll see that the jam is actually being "squirted" on him.
 * In the "Accidents Will Happen" music video, the jam squirts on a truck before hitting the Fat Controller.
