* [[Butt Monkey]]: He has the ''most'' accidents out of any other train in the series...and just about all of them involve getting covered in something sticky.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: In his debut, he tells jokes about the big engines to the trucks, and tells them that Duck shared them with him. Once the trucks starts laughing at the other engines, they're convinced Duck had been spreading nasty jokes about them.

* [[Quickly-Demoted Woman]]: Daisy. The last episode dedicated to her was back in season 4, and she made a brief non-speaking role in season 8.

Line 281:

* [[Misplaced Nationalism]]: Or at least something very like it. In his debut episode he's fond of claiming that there are two ways of doing things, "the [[wikipedia:Great Western Railway|Great Western]] way or the wrong way". Fortunately he got over it quite quickly.

* [[Motor Mouth]]: The whole plotline of "Donald's Duck" kicked off after Donald told him to zip it.

* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: His given name is 'Montague,' but most call him 'Duck,' after his tendency to waddle on the rails. Henry, Gordon, and James have quacked at him in the past.
