There's the train traveling (which could be a bit faster in my opinion) and the touch controls which work fine in my book.

Percy's Predicament really stuck out to me as a kid, mostly because of the crash which I thoroughly enjoyed as a kid. Thank you for definitely making this episode because up until I watched this, I would have guessed that any accident where a train was rear-ended could have inspired this but I was clearly wrong. Seeing how Percy and Phyllis were both light weight engines, it's sort of no surprise that just enough force would push them up and onto some freight cars.

There were more wrecks like this, but sadder. In america, there were a few other end on collisions, where one engine would smash into cars that are bring pushed, and climb up to rest on the other locomotive. So, one locomotive on top of another. Sadly, the engineer and fireman did die in one of these accidents but it does look similar to what happened here

This actually also happened here in the United States. Most famously one that occurred on the Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad. It involved two trains, one a potato train, and the other a work train. The work train was arranged with a number of flatcars being shoved by the locomotive. The potato train had right and priority, but was running as an extra. While the Work Train was an extra as well. The work train took a siding for a scheduled train. Due to a misunderstanding of their train orders they then rolled out onto the main after the scheduled train cleared, the locomotive shoving the flatcars. This was when the potato train struck it. The impact rode the locomotive of the potato train up onto at least one of the flatcars and ramped her over the locomotive of the work train. There are several other cases and photos can be found of this and other mishaps around the turn of the last century.
