Being Percy is a magazine story it was illustrated by using images from the television series. It was later published in the 2012 Holiday Annual.
Plot
Percy is feeling sad because none of his friends are listening to him since he is so small. Percy witnesses Gordon steam grandly through and decides to copy him. After Percy switches onto the express line, he soon gathers up speed and is going too fast to stop and collect the mail! Then, he sees Gordon approaching him on the same line! Gordon quickly swerves down a siding and collides with a barrier - ending up in the mud. Percy then brings Rocky to lift Gordon back onto the rails and delivers the mail.
