Duck/Behind the Scenes

Behind the Scenes
Duck originated as a spare engine purchased for the Reverend's model railway, a GWR 57xx Pannier tank engine produced by Gaiety Models. As originally purchased the model suffered a defect, a malformed wheel that gave it a pronounced waddle. Wilbert's children promptly christened the engine "Duck" upon observing this, a name that persisted even after the original wheels were replaced and the waddle cured.

Note
A photograph seen in The Thomas Way depicts Duck at Paddington station on the Great Western Railway. The image features Duck's television series model from the sixth season episode, Twin Trouble. This is, therefore, the first full CGI episode to feature models from the model era.
