Ghost Train

"Ghost Train" ("Percy's Ghostly Trick"- North America) is a second season episode.

Plot
Percy tells the others of a ghost train said to be haunting Thomas' branch line, but Thomas is dismissive. When Percy later crashes into a load of lime stuck on a crossing, he becomes as white as a sheet and has the idea to pretend to be a ghost to pay back Thomas. With some help from Toby, Percy scares Thomas into leaving the shed. Thomas tries to cover up his mistake the next day, but still runs when he hears Percy's whistle!

Trivia

 * The ghost engine in the beginning of the episode and real time is just Percy covered in white streamers and with Edward's whistle.
 * In the American narration, Percy's driver says his "ghost" was a story. In the British narration, he says it was a ghost story on television.
 * At the end when Thomas puffs up beside Toby he has a frightened face that was mainly used in the first series, that episode was the last time they used that frightened face.
 * There's a deleted scene in which Terence is seen pulling the cart of lime over the crossing.

Goofs

 * For some reason, in the restored version, Toby leaves Percy to go to the sheds a little later than he did in the original version.
 * In the opening shot of the viaduct a light on the scaffolding goes on a bit too late.
 * The fog blowing around Thomas, Percy and Toby is obviously being vented out of the ground.
 * The lime in the cart is blown up just before Percy collides with it.
 * When Percy turns up at the signal box he is covered in lime but his driver is spotless when he should be covered in lime too..
 * When Percy says, "That'll teach him to say I'm a silly little engine" his face moves.
 * In the shot of Toby telling Thomas about Percy's accident you can tell the film was cut, as his eyes move from up to down without us seeing them move.
 * When Thomas puffs out of the sheds a piece of studio equipment can be seen through the shed window, the sheds door moves open a bit and a plank or something can be seen through the now opened door.
