 * Number: 6

Duncan is a narrow gauge engine who came after Peter Sam's accident with the slate trucks.

Bio
Duncan was built at Andrew Barclay, Kilmarnock, in 1918 and worked in a factory in Scotland, which Peter Sam claims is the source of his strong language, before arriving on Sodor in 1958 to do Peter Sam's work after his accident with the slate trucks and reguaged to 2' to 2'3". Duncan was rude and arrogant at first, but was humbled after derailing while doing "rock 'n' roll" and having to be rescued by Rusty, whom he detests for being a diesel. In 1962, Duncan appeared to have learned his lesson, but turned out to be as bad as ever after stalling on a viaduct out of spite for not being polished. Skarloey finally taught him sense with the story of Rheneas' bravery and now Duncan is a Really Useful Engine.

Persona
