This might be a hot take but Percy being the main engine to pull the Mail train makes no sense from a logical standpoint because Mail trains typically run long distances and are usually fairly lengthy, an 0-4-0 like him would be way too underpowered for the job

Pulling the Mail Train is way worse than pulling the Flying Kipper. Pulling the Flying Kipper is a early morning train, pulling the mail train is a late night train to early morning train.
