Duncan Has a Spill

"I told you so!"

- Duke

Duncan Has a Spill is a magazine story.

Plot
Duncan means well, but often rides roughly. Duke warns Duncan that he may come off the rails if he carries on. Peter Sam and Sir Handel then try telling Duncan the story of Smudger, who kept coming off the rails, and was turned into a generator, and is still behind the shed, but will never move again, just like Duke has told them the story of what happened to Smudger. Duncan ignores the advice and one day the points rod that connects the signalbox to the points outside the engine shed breaks. Duncan is not paying attention and comes right off the rails.
