Plot:
Duncan was hoping to take some holiday makers to Culdee mine. But the job was given to Bertie and Duncan is to bring coal trucks to the transfer yards with Rusty. On his way, Duncan spotted an old disused mine and wanted to go in their. But he was trapped and had to find his way out again until he spotted some coal trucks.
PRO:
- Despite being a fictional name its nice to hear 'Culdee' a RWS reference
CON:
- It would take more then a barrier to block a tunnel.
- Duncan's driver would have some common sense.
- The episode should've been called 'Duncan and The Old Tunnel'
An episode that is not worth the watch, its alright, but not worth it. It would take more of barrier to stop an engine from heading into a mine. They could've built gates around it. Plus the mine shaft is nothing like a mine, they should've called the episode 'Duncan and The Old Tunnel'. Though despite the bad things about this episode, it was nice to hear another RWS reference. Even though it was a location that is made up and didn't exist in the books, its nice to hear that 'Culdee' got a mention. Even though its not the engine. The episode is OK, but it needed some work.
Rating: 2.5/5
