Description

This is Duncan the Grumpy Scottish Engine.

Origin: Duncan was built by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. at their Caledonia Works in Kilmarnock, Scotland to their simple and straight forward industrial design in 1928 and worked in a factory in Scotland. Peter Sam claims this to be the source for his strong language and volatile temper. Duncan is powerful and can haul all but the heaviest trains, but he had been given a short wheelbase that caused him to ride roughly at speed. In 1958, Duncan was bought secondhand by Sir Handel Lloyd Brown II as a spare engine, as the workload was too much for Sir Handel and Peter Sam to manage unassisted. He came soon after Peter Sam's accident with the slate trucks and was re-gauged to 2ft 3in. Duncan was rude and arrogant at first. He often rocked and rolled along the lines, which everyone called "Rock-n-Roll." However, following accidents involving the tunnel and a worn stretch of track south of Cros-ny-Cuirn, he began to see sense and made up his feud with Rusty, whom he had detested for being a diesel. And he stopped rocking and rolling afterwards.

He was still selfish, being prone to temper tantrums and actually stalled on the viaduct Rheneas was named after and claims that he was overworked and not polished enough. Skarloey was fed up with his careless attitude and finally taught him sense with the story of how Rheneas single-handed running of the railway and how passengers are far more important than polish. When some boy scouts were camping and volunteering for the Skarloey Railway, they were going to help fix a part of the line that was wet and mushy from the rain. When the scouts became thirsty, the leader stopped Duncan to help them find something for them to drink in fear that they might be dehydrated. Unfortunately, the Refreshment Lady ran out of drinks since the business was very busy for her, but Duncan suggested another tea shop near the station by the lake. They managed to pick up enough drinks and the boys cheered Duncan for helping them. He even replied by saying "It's only fair we should help you too!" Duncan has visited the Talyllyn Railway in Wales as a tourist attraction. He was there in 2005.

Color: When Duncan was first built in 1928, he was painted in black and yellow paint, much to Duncan's discomfort. When he was offically purchased by the Skaroley Railway, he was repaitned into the Skaroley Railway red color with blue lining. When people confused Duncan Rheneas, Duncan was repianted into the color he always wanted since he was built. He was painted in factory yellow with black lining. His Skaroley Railway logos got the same thing. He got that after he rescued Luke from slipping and it was given to him as a present for putting his grumpy mood aside. On his boiler, he had red lining with black lining in the middle. His hand rails on his cab and coupling rods are factory red. His nameplates and number plates are a dark gold color with black in them.

Personalites:
Duncan is a Scottish narrow gauge engine with rough manners and a strong temper, making him the least social of the Skarloey Railway fleet. He was prone to boisterously bouncing about, which became known as "rock 'n' roll", whenever the mood took him, which once led to wedging in the north mouth of Rheneas Tunnel (probably caused by keystones knocked down by his funnel) and derailing on a stretch of line near Cros-ny-Cuirn.
While Duncan means well, he often grumbles and complains (usually about not being polished or being over-worked) and can be rude, rough, stubborn and bad-tempered. This can easily be seen in his dislike for Christmas for some reason. He claims to be a plain engine who believes in plainly speaking, an approach that can cause him to make callous or belligerent remarks. Duncan can be a competitive engine too, particularly with James. He can be impulsive, even more so than Sir Handel, and make rash decisions that usually lead to his downfall, (such as getting in arguments or short-lived feuds with Rusty). He is not always quick to apologise or realise the error of his ways. However, upon Skarloey recalling Rheneas's gallant act to get his passengers home, Duncan readily admitted he had the wrong attitude and tried hard to be a more useful, social and respectable engine in the future. When Rusty helped him after his derailment near Cros-ny-Cuirn, Duncan apologised to him and extended a wheel of friendship, proving he has gratitude.

And that's Duncan in my AU. I hope you all like this.
