Duck/Montague

Montague is a pannier tank engine

Bio
Swindon locomotive works built Duck in 1929 for the Great Western Railway. Duck was very capable and often found himself doing different jobs everyday. Eventually, he was assigned to be a shunter at Paddington station in London. He shunted there until 1955, when he was purchased by NWR. He was sent to West Tidmouth to replace Percy as a shunter at the main yard. He worked the yards of Tidmouth with ease for several years in true great western fashion. The Fat Controller was very pleased with Duck, so much so that in 1964 he assigned him to work the Arlesburgh branchline. A year later, he was joined by Oliver, the two work well together and keep the branchline running to this day.

Personality
Duck is cheerful, busy and tends to bustle about. 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. He enjoys running like clockwork, without problems, or interruptions, making him a very efficient and loyal engine. However, his moral code is not perfect and often favours fairness to kindness, like when he blocked Gordon, Henry, and James from coming into the shed after they ordered him about. He takes tremendous pride in the responsibilities bestowed upon him, particularly in his role of running his own branch line with Oliver, sometimes known as the "Little Western" as a result.
