(Scene continues as it shifts into wintertime. Snow starts to fall and a blizzard arrives. Henry chuffs along the line by the lake, battling against the snow)

The season soon changed from autumn with stubble and brown earth to a cold long winter. Throughout the month of December, Henry continued to adjust properly to his new Welsh coal and now he was used to it. However, the fierce winds would often hold the engines back on their journeys, and a blizzard would constantly arrive and make the journey much worse.

(Scene cuts to Thomas, Percy and Henry at Tidmouth Sheds)

One morning, Henry's fire was quickly lit up by his driver and fireman and he was able to start his journey. Thomas and Percy, however, had to wait for the firelighter to arrive and light their fires with ordinary coal, an element that the firelighter was used to.

Henry: (whistling) Don't worry, you too. I'm sure the firelighter will come very soon. (chuffs away)

But Thomas and Percy didn't think so, and they were cold and cross.

Thomas: (fuming) All I want is a warm boiler, Percy, and the firelighter knows that. But still, he manages to run late.

Percy: He's not late, Thomas. This weather just woke us up early. That's all.

Gusts of wind continued to swarm towards the shed, once around Thomas, and then around Percy too.

Percy: (sighing) Maybe we should talk about something else while we wait for the fireman.

Thomas: (jokingly) Yes, like how silly we'll look for our passengers when our funnels get covered in icicles. (chuckling)

But Percy didn't Thomas' joke very funny.

Percy: (sighing) Maybe we'll feel better if we talk about warm things, Thomas. Like sunshine…and steam…

Thomas: …and firelighters. (chuckling)

Percy ignored Thomas as he yawned and shut his eyes, dreaming away about something warm to think about.

(A dream sequence occurs with Percy happily watching the children at the seaside, snow coming down, when he notices a scarf coiled around his funnel. He gasps)

Percy: (waking up) Scarves!

Thomas: (confused) Scarves? (chuckling, jokingly) That's what you need, Percy. A warm and wooly scarf around your funnel, don't you think?

Percy: (sighing, happily) Yes, Thomas. A nice warm scarf. (shuts his eyes)

Thomas was only teasing and found Percy's wish to be very amusing, while Percy thought happily about scarves until the firelighter came.

(Scene shifts while the firelighter gets Thomas ready for his journey and he chuffs away, whistling to Percy)

Thomas: (whistling) Wake up, lazybones!

(Percy gasps and wakes up while Thomas chuffs away)

Percy waited as the firelighter lit up his fire and he was ready to start his journey once.

(Percy whistles and chuffs away, the firelighter waving after him. Scene cuts to Sir Topham Hatt's house)

Meanwhile, Sir Topham Hatt had just finished having his breakfast of hot porridge. His wife helped to get him ready as he and Henry had a big day ahead of them. He got up and eyed his special trousers as Lady Hatt pressed them on the hanger.

Topham: Thank you, Jane, dear. I shall put those put those in my trunk, and change into them right before the photographs are taken.

Jane: You're welcome, Topham, dear. Are you sure you won't be late?

Topham: Absolutely, not. I'll be spic and span and right on time. Have to hurry. I must meet Henry at the station. He is taking the important visitors inside the coaches after all. (rushes out the door)

Jane: Bye, dear. Good luck.

(Scene cuts to Henry at Knapford)

Meanwhile, Henry was waiting for Sir Topham Hatt as he arrived in his car.

Topham: (walking up on the platform and towards Henry) Good morning, Henry.

Henry: (whistling) Good morning, sir.

Topham: Are the coaches all ready for the passengers?

Henry: Yes, sir. Just waiting for Gordon to arrive from the "Works Station" with the special visitors.

Topham: Very well then. He shall be here any time now.

Gordon: (whistling as he chuffs in) Good morning, Henry. Good morning, sir.

Topham: Um, morning, Gordon. Thank you very much for picking up the visitors. Hopefully they had a comfortable ride in the express.

Gordon: They sure did, sir. And I bet now that Henry here is going to give a very special ride, eh? (chuckles)

(Henry smiles, and Sir Topham Hatt sighs and shakes his head as he boards the train. Henry whistles and leaves the platform after the guard's whistle blows. Scene cuts to Percy chuffing alongside a lakeside. His theme, covered by Robert Hartshorne, plays)

Meanwhile, Percy was chuffing on his way to the station. By the time, he reached there, he saw workmen wearing scarves, something he would often see every morning. He was very envious.

Percy: (groaning) My funnel is cold. (chuffing up beside Henry) I need a scarf. That's what I need.

Henry: (confused) A scarf?

Percy: (snaps) Yes, to keep my funnel warm.

Henry: (chuckling) Engines don't wear scarves, Percy. That's why we have nice warm boilers.

Percy: (cheeklily) Engines with proper funnels might need one. You've only got a small one, Henry. (whistles and chuffs away)

Henry snorted. He was proud of his small round funnel.

(Scene cuts to James dropping off passengers at the platform)

Just then, James dropped some passengers and the station platform and Percy had to take his coaches away.

(James whistles as his passengers get out and Henry chuffs up to him. The important passengers exit his.)

The important passengers exited Henry's coaches and explored the station, waiting for Sir Topham Hatt to arrive. James was feeling a little puffed up.

James: (wheeshing steam) Bit of a cold morning for all this, isn't it, Henry? Especially, all these extra passengers. Wouldn't you agree?

Henry: Yes, James. But guess who's also having a bit of a cold morning.

James: (confused) Who?

Henry: Percy, complaining about not having a scarf in this weather.

James: (chuckles) Scarves. What a joke. Especially from those silly little engines.

(James chuckles and so does Henry as he exits the station)

Topham: (waving) Goodbye, Henry. Be back soon. (sighing, turning towards the passengers) Now then, who wants to explore the station?

Sir Topham Hatt had begun his tour. Meanwhile, Percy was getting ready to fetch James' coaches. His driver always shut off steam when entering the station, but Percy would often attempt to surprise the coaches by coming in as quietly as he could. This morning, he had made a plan to finally do so.

(Percy chuffs slowly into the station. The porters haul a trolley across the line as he does so)

Meanwhile, the porters were hauling a trolley full of luggage across the line. Percy had steamed in so quietly that the porters didn't hear him coming. Then…it happened.

Driver: Look out, Percy.

But it was too late.

CRASH!

The porters had jumped clear before the crash but the trolley went flying into the air and landed back down with a smash. Boxes and bags BURST in all directions!

Percy: (groaning) Uh oh!

Sticky jam streamed Percy's face; a top hat hung on his lamp iron; and worst of all, a pair of trousers coiled lovingly around his funnel. The passengers were very cross, and so was Sir Topham Hatt.

(Passengers shout at an overwhelmed Sir Topham Hatt, who tries to calm down them down)

Topham: (calmly as he can) Quiet! Quiet, everyone, please! (turns towards Percy and glares, walking up to him and seizing his hat) That's my hat, thank you very much! (pointing to his hat) Percy, look what you've DONE!

Percy: (muffled) Yes, sir. I am, sir.

Topham: And my best trousers too. All ruined thanks to you.

Percy: (groaning) Yes, sir.

Topham: I am very cross with you! We must pay the passengers for their spoilt clothes, and my trousers are ruined!

Percy: I'm sorry, sir.

Topham: Sorry doesn't clear the mess, Percy. Get yourself cleaned up and return to your shed immediately! (turning away before looking back again and pointing and sighing) And wear my scarf as you're at it to keep you warm. I do hope this will teach you not to play "grandmother's steps" with the coaches.

Percy: Y-y-yes, sir. (chuffs away)

On the way back to the sheds, Percy met up with James.

James: Hello, Percy. (looks in surprise and chuckles) So, you've finally found a scarf, eh, Percy? Only…legs go in trousers, not funnels. (whistles and chuffs away, Percy looking away in indignance)

At the sheds, Percy's driver had given a good rubdown and the trousers were quickly removed and washed.

Driver: We shall return the trousers to Sir Topham Hatt, Percy. Oh, and please be careful where you're going from now on, eh?

Percy: (quietly) Yes, sir.

Edward: It's okay, Percy. We all make mistakes sometimes, even with coaches.

Thomas: I remember my first time on Sodor when I arrived at the station platform and nearly had a collision with James.

(Thomas and Edward laugh and Percy slightly laughs too, until Gordon and James arrive and laugh even louder about Percy's situation)

The big engines thought Percy's situation was very funny indeed.

Gordon: Fancy playing "grandmother's steps" with the coaches, Percy.

James: (jokingly) You've finally realized the urgency of scarves, eh, Percy?

(Gordon and James laugh even louder. Thomas and Edward look over at Percy sympathetically, and soon Henry arrives and whistles as he chuffs in the berth next to Percy)

Henry had all about the incident from James and felt sorry for Percy too.

Henry: Driver says the weather will be warmer tomorrow. (jokingly) You won't need a scarf, Percy. (chuckles)

Percy: (chuckling) Certainly not, Henry. Engines don't need scarves, especially in the wintertime when they have nice warm boilers. Every engine knows that.

(Scene zooms out on all engines chuckling as the snow continues to fall)
