History

When the pond was in need of dredging, Jack was sent to dig out built-up silt and debris in the pond, while Alfie dug trenches for the flower beds and rock garden. In his over-enthusiasm, Jack damaged the bottom of the pond, leading to the water draining away and the ducks leaving. Disappointed, he asked to stay behind after work and look for the ducks. Patrick, meanwhile, came up with a solution to fix the pond using concrete.

Trivia

The Duckling Pond

The Duckling Pond is a large pond home to a group of ducklings which Diesel is particularly fond of.

History

Once, Diesel stopped by the pond to let a family of ducks cross the tracks. Tired of Diesel's "rough and tough" attitude, Thomas used this to make Diesel be kind to the other engines all day. When Diesel failed to keep his promise, Thomas led 'Arry and Bert to the pond to show them Diesel's new friends. In his haste, Thomas nearly ran over the ducks while they were crossing the tracks, but was fortunately able to stop in time with the help of Diesel.[3]

When the pond froze over, Terence visited the site to find a suitable Christmas tree for Sir Robert Norramby's Christmas party at Ulfstead Castle. Unfortunately, the ice on the pond cracked while Terence was going over it. He was saved from falling in by Thomas, but the tree was lost.[4]
