Percy and Gordon

Percy and Gordon is a read and colour magazine story.

Plot
One windy day, Percy is busy shunting in the yard. At a signal, he watches the wind blow the leaves off the trees. Suddenly, Gordon speeds through the junction with the Express. Leaves fall off the trees yet again, this time more than what the wind had blown. Percy begins to suspect that Gordon is even more powerful than the wind.

In the shed that night, Percy whispers to Gordon about his curiosity. Gordon can tell Percy is being genuine and not cheeky so he, flatteringly, tells Percy that he could very well be more powerful than the wind. In the morning, the gales are stronger than before and The Fat Controller reminds Percy to take care. Percy tells The Fat Controller that Gordon should be able to handle it and explains what happened yesterday.

The Fat Controller then tells Percy to pull Annie and Clarabel today while Thomas goes for a checkup at the maintenance shed. While on his run, Percy passes Gordon and is very surprised to see him going slowly so he asks him why. Gordon, embarrassed, tells Percy that his driver told him that the wind is too strong to be rushing around like usual. Gordon tries to act like he was not serious in the shed last night and now Percy embarrassingly tries to admit he was not serious either. The Fat Controller, riding in Clarabel's guard's compartment, laughs and admits to the guard that he gave Percy this train just so Percy could see how silly he and Gordon have been.
