Biography[]
Thomas, Percy and the Dragon[]
Thomas was sent to collect the paper Chinese Dragon which was for a carnival from Brendam Docks. He was surprised by its appearance until his driver explained it was made of paper and could do no harm. Unfortunately, Percy, who was stuck on a siding at the time, did not realise this and was scared by it as Thomas went past him stranded at Lower Suddery. Percy later saw the dragon at Elsbridge, but was relieved that it was a fake.
Percy and the Funfair[]
When Sir Topham Hatt's funfair was coming to Sodor, Thomas was sent to collect the fireworks and the Chinese Dragon.

When Thomas stops at a signal as he races back to the warehouse to collect another light bulb for the lighthouse, Edward tells him that he is going to collect the Chinese Dragon for the fireworks party. On his way to the lighthouse, he passes Toby with the choir and Edward with the Chinese Dragon.
