- “It's the One-Eyed Truck!”
- ― Monty
Percy's Scary Tale is a Jack and the Sodor Construction Company episode, released on the US DVD, On Site with Thomas and Other Adventures.
Plot
Percy has been sent to work with Alfie on Halloween night. During a break, Kelly decides to tell everyone a scary story about a one-eyed truck. Percy and Alfie hope that the story is not too scary. Max and Monty then complain that "it's just a story." Jack finds this insulting, so he hushes them. With that, Kelly begins to tell the story. Later, after teasing everyone about the story, Max and Monty are sent to dump some dirt. After seeing some things on their way, they see a light and, thinking it is the one-eyed truck, run away in fright, but soon feel silly when they realise it was Thomas.

Goofs

- In the British narration, when Thomas puffs beside Percy, the American term "freight cars" is used.
- Alfie is said to have chuffed, but he is an excavator.
- The steps beneath Percy's cab are red and his dome is green when his steps should be green and his dome should be brass-coloured.
