Duck, the Great Western Pannier Tank Engine, has appeared earlier in the series, but this is the first time he has had a whole book to himself. As usual, he has fun with the other engines, and a newcomer, Diesel. Diesel is a troublemaker and soon after his arrival makes Duck unpopular with the other engines.

OUR STORY STOPS ARE:
1. Domeless Engines
2. Pop Goes the Diesel
3. Dirty Work
4. A Close Shave
