Percy to the Rescue is a magazine story.

Plot
It is almost Christmas and Percy is singing happily. He is making his way down the line with slate from the quarry to the harbour and has to use a different line as the main one he uses is under repair. It is snowing hard and Percy must go slowly but he does not mind.

Down the line, Percy can see a man in all white plus a red hat and scarf among the snowy trees. Percy can not see the man clearly but he is horrified that the man is stuck out in the snow but he has to carry on with his delivery. That evening, Percy tells the other engines what he saw.

Next morning, Percy must make another slate delivery. He wonders if he will see the man again. Sure enough, the man is still standing between the trees. After his job, Percy informs The Fat Controller and The Fat Controller decides to travel with Percy to see who the man really is.

The Fat Controller trudges through the snow until he comes across the mystery man. He begins to laugh. Percy wonders what is so funny and The Fat Controller informs him that it is not a real man but a snowman. Percy feels very silly and the other engines tease him that night.
