The Green Caterpillar: The History Of TTTE

[@SilverHyozanryu]

Percy's introduction always stuck with me as a kid. Not necessarily because I love the character but because I always wondered who the other engines under cloaks could be. There was such a mysterious feel about them. Of course as I got older I realized it was just the other character's models hidden but it was fun to think about it.

[@stupidproductions69]

They are just james, Gordon, Henry, and a marklyn engine

You know, sometimes I forget that the tv series didn't introduce percy until a while after it started. He just seems to have always been there.

[@darylcastillo1439]

I always liked how Percy has a more "chubby" body than the more svelte Thomas. It enhances his childlike character.

When Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, or Percy enter the stage. The audience "Woo hoo". The audience when Toby enters the stage, "WOOOOOOO".

[@SukoYote]

I remember when I watched Percy get unveiled. I was giddy that there was going to be another small engine, but wondered, "How long has he been there? And who are the others?".

[@adamcollester2655]

Keep these up man, it's so cool to learn about the history of these classic models!

[@daniel-san-augh]

Already know the days gonna be good when I wake up and see a trainboy notification in my yt notifications. Amazing vidya dude

[@Ptica_Arop]

I really liked Percy in the CGI version. He has a very lively, expressive kind face, cute facial expressions. And the character of the character himself became richer in deep gentle human feelings. Percy has become a very charismatic person, a small locomotive capable of great deeds. And yet he remained a small plump green caterpillar. I love Percy))

Little did we know he would become dumb in the cgi series

[@Dat-Mudkip]

He was already dumb before that. (Season 8 is when he started getting dumber...it started getting _really_ bad around Season 10...)

[@LittleRedIrishRover]

That honestly bothered me so much. I still can't get over that Day of the Diesels bit I saw where he basically handed the steamworks to Diesel 10 (also dumbed down) thinking this would make D10 his friend. Not to mention he was stealing iron from the steelworks that needed it. That seriously irritated me!

[@inevitableanarchy4203]

Percy was my fav character until the Hit era. Since then, he has basically been watered-down into a literal toddler. I can barely stand him now.

[@LittleRedIrishRover]

He was my favourite as a child too, but his CGI counterpart irritates me to the point I could pull my hair out. And I feel terrible saying this, because I still adore him, but my gosh I hate what Mattel has done to him!

[@thebengaldragon2010]

He is not dumb he is just childish and naive

[@warrensmall670]

I really like these videos. It cool to see all of their models. Also, I think Wooly Bear is a story in Tramway Engines. Great video.

I just watched from Edward's model, and you've earned a subscriber. Excellent content. Thank you. I'd love to have a replica Gauge 1 model. I guess the Bachmanns will have to suffice for now.

[@ADurning87]

This is why Percy is my favourite, his back story is so interesting 😊

[@inevitableanarchy4203]

Percy was my fav character (at least top 3) during the original show. But ever since the HIT era, they have basically been watering-down his character into a toddler. It really sucks how he has been flanderized into a little kid😞

[@jamesmukuria6669]

What do you mean? To be fair, though, the CGI era had made Percy's character dirty. Even the BWBA Era as well.
