Duck

Duck is a cheerful and busy engine. He's only a small tank engine, but coming as he does from the Great Western Railroad, he'll stand no-nonsense whatsoever from larger engines from who try to order about.

Fun Fact:
Duck recieved his name because they say he "waddles along the tracks".

Duck's involvement in the series:
Duck reprised his roles from the Railway Series from when he first came to Sodor to when he developed a rivalry with Diesel and Bulgy. Although Percy left the yard went to work at the harbour, Duck often helped him. The workload eventually got too heavy for them alone, so Sir Topham Hatt brought Diesel to help. Duck and Percy were furious and went on strike until Sir Topham Hatt made them work again. Diesel didn't stay for long though, as he pushed some trucks into the sea and was sent away in disgrace. Duck and Percy gladly did the work alone. One day sometime later, a regatta was being held at the harbour, which inspired Duck to sail to faraway lands. When a man in the regatta hurt his hand, Duck brought him to Bertie, who then took him to hospital.

Duck has had many adventures, many of which were the same as the Railway Series, such as: helping Stepney take the express to Crovan's Gate after the Diesel broke down, supporting Oliver when he took on S.C. Ruffey and the other trucks, went to the Big City with the engines after they received a letter from a little girl and helping Henry with the Flying Kipper up Gordon's Hill, but ended up crashing into it after the tail lamp fell off.

Later, Duck was trapped at the docks with the big engines and Cranky during a storm. A tramp steamer crashed into the shed, causing it and Cranky to topple over, trapping the engines. Thomas and Percy rescued Cranky, who then rescued the other engines. Afterward, George refused to let Duck clear his train from the Main Line, resulting in Gordon crashing into it. Duck was spared punishment when Sir Topham Hatt was told George was to blame for the accident.
