Diesel Thomas The Tank Engine Views

General Goods

Thomas can be described as a cheeky, fussy little engine. He often gets into scrapes, usually by being over-eager to do things best left to bigger and more sensible engines. But clouds never last long in Thomas's world and he's soon bustling about again, playing his part in the yard and on his very own branch line, of which he is extremely proud. He is a 0-6-0 blue tank engine. He has become the title star of the television series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (now known as Thomas and Friends). Thomas first appeared in The Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry.

Duck is a character in The Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry, as well as the TV Series Thomas and Friends. Although his real name is Montague, he was given the nickname Duck , by which he is universally known. He is a green pannier tank engine, who was given the number 8 on arrival, and works efficiently as part of The Fat Controller's fleet. He currently runs his own branch line.

On his first visit, Stepney took a special that forced Thomas to be shunted.[3] He was chased by Caroline and a group of cricketers when he accidentally stole their ball.[4] Finally, when a new diesel broke down, Stepney and Duck upstaged him by bringing his train in early. Stepney was given a fond farewell from The Fat Controller's engines and asked to come back.[6] Stepney has visited the railway again, helping out at the quarry and having a close call while stranded at the scrapyard.[5] After a while, Stepney was treated as a regular resident of the railway,[7][8][9] and The Fat Controller was eager to have him run the new loop line.[10]

Some engines become indignant to his authority. When Fergus was sent to the quarry, he scorned Bill and Ben's carelessness, and they decided to disobey him deliberately. They accidentally caused a rock slide, and Fergus was buried while forcing them clear. Bill and Ben thankfully worked hard to free him and clean up the mess.[18][19] Diesel's apathy for regulations created a mess at the Cement Works. When Fergus tried to correct him, Diesel made up an order from The Fat Controller to work at the smelters. Fergus was so frightened of the smelters that he and his driver ran away. The Fat Controller sent Thomas to find Fergus and sort out the matter, and Fergus was soon back to work at the Cement Works.[18]
