  • Gotta love good old Percy's Theme. It's one of those where Mike and Junior captured the essence of the character perfectly, it's very cute and playful but also has that dissonant section which shows that Percy has the tendency to get into trouble or accidents but then concludes with a nice lighthearted ending section.
    Original Music by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell

    Hey everyone.
    Just a quick message. While I know a lot of you enjoy the recreations of O'Donnell and Campbell's legendary work for TTTE. I'd also really appreciate if you'd take a look at music I've written too. I'm looking to experiment and expand as a composer to test my range and ideas, the Thomas stuff is nostalgic and everything but the original works is what I really enjoy to work with. Still on the 80s wave at the moment as there are some sounds I still want to tackle. Here’s a playlist of all the 80s and 90s stuff. I’ve arranged them similar to how they are on SoundCloud. Enjoy!

    You know, of all the themes, I feel like this one fit its character best. Not that there were any bad match-ups per se, but this just really captures Percy's cheekiness, his upbeat attitude, the fact that he does work hard, and that he's prone to mishaps.

    Then Henry came by hissing as usual. "WHEESH!", Henry jumped and rand back to the shed. " How beautifully you wheeshed him!" Laughed Edward. "I can't wheesh like that." "Oh that's nothing, you have to wheesh loudly to make yourself heard."
    There were fewer trains, but the passengers don't mind, they knew that the three big engines were having a lesson. Gordon, Henry, & James were Cold, Lonely, and Miserable. They wished now they hadn't been so silly.
