Bio:
"Duck knows how to hold his own and tends to stand for no nonsense from any engines that might get ideas above their station and try to order him or others about; as a result of this and his strength, most tank engines look up to him. However, although he and Thomas are friends, they occasionally have not always got on well due to the latter's cheeky antics, but the two share a mutual respect and have always had a great friendship with each other.

However, his moral code is not perfect and often favors fairness to kindness. He enjoys running like clockwork, without problems or interruptions, making him a very efficient and loyal engine. He takes tremendous pride in the responsibilities bestowed upon him, particularly in running his own branch line with Oliver, sometimes known as the "Little Western" as a result.

Duck is cheerful, busy, mature, and tends to bustle about. He is very proud of his noble Great Western heritage, often claiming that "there are two ways of doing things: the Great Western way, or the wrong way", occasionally to the annoyance of other engines. He strongly admires City of Truro and enjoyed talking "Great Western" with him when he visited the North Western Railway. He is also shown to be kind to others, but the one engine he finds the most difficult to be kind to is Devious Damien, mainly after spreading rumors about him giving nicknames to the bigger engines.

Duck is often welcoming of newcomers, even most diesels, as long as they are not rude. He will often support the underdog, stick up for his friends and help others see the error of their ways. However, occasionally, he does have the "Tank Engine sense" of teasing the bigger engines such as Gordon or even get into a rivalry with some. But he has earned the respect of the bigger engines and has firm friendships with many engines on the railway."
