Locations in the Coaling Plant

The Truck Hoist

One of the machines at the Coaling Plant is the truck hoist. This machine has a platform on which trucks full of coal are placed, lifted up and then tipped over to empty the coal. It is dangerous for engines to go on it. However, Henry accidentally pushed Percy onto the Truck Hoist and Toby was pushed by Diesel onto the truck hoist when the steam and diesel engines were fighting each other. Later, Percy used it again but to hide from Thomas.
