Percy and the Brake Van

"Pooh!"

- Percy on brakevans

Percy and the Brakevan is a annual story.

Plot
Hnery tells Percy about the goods trains on the Other Railway that have no brakevans. Percy decides that if the Other Railway don't need brakevans, he doesn't. A few days later, Percy is arranging a line of trucks at the harbour. He is just backing onto the brakevan when the shunter's attention is distracted, and he forgets to couple the brakevan! The guard, unaware of this, blows his whistle and Percy sets off quickly, without a brakevan. Because Percy started so quickly, one of the truck's coupling had loosened, and as Percy is ascending the hill the weight of the trucks behind him snapped the coupling. The last four trucks roll back up the slope and hit the brakevan with a bump! Luckily the guard saw what was coming, and he had screwed the brake hard on before jumping clear. After, Percy agrees that brakevans are vital after all.
