What is it with characters that were introduced in Enterprising Engines staring lovingly into the eyes of their saviours?

Little Western & Identity Fraud

You know the entire LW gang has probably been involved in identity fraud, I say probably cause of old Monty.

It is almost implied that Oliver used more than one number plate, and Donald & Douglas's whole story of how they got to Sodor was Identity fraud.

But Duck, Dear old Montague it is stated in the IOS that and I quote 'Duck had arrived at Tidmouth bearing the number 5741, but this is by no means certain that this was the number which had been allotted to him Ex-Works.'

And this could tie into his working life as the Real 5741 worked at Aberdare and Newport, but this was in the 50s', but Duck also spouts about the greatness of Swindon (although it is in fact the greatest) and the fact he worked at Paddington.

Both of these facts are bull, 5741 was built in Glasgow in North British, and as far as we know 5741 never worked at Paddington.

So why does Duck state all this, well think about it who the hell is going to say otherwise?

Oliver never meets Duck until at least the 60s' and City of Truro was withdrawn in 1931 so also never meets Duck, and it can be assumed that he didn't know that the first 5700's were built in Scotland, as every other loco the GWR at that point was built at Swindon until the 5700s', he also states he worked at Paddington, and meet King James he never states which one First or Second, but they entered service a year before him, so maybe early Thirties.

So either Duck just isn't 5741 or is 5741 and just bullshitting common knowledge GWR information, cuz who the hell is going to fact-check him, Gordon doesn't clearly care, and the only other engine who would probably know doesn't give two.

In Conclusion either Duck has been involved in Identity Fraud or is just a fucking liar, If the Dome Fits I guess.
