What is Thomas and Friends - Duncan The Stubborn Engine about?

Duncan is a little narrow-gauge engine with a very big opinion of himself. He is proud, impatient and determined to do things his own way, even when the other engines offer sensible advice. But Duncan’s stubbornness soon leads him into trouble on the Skarloey Railway. As the engines work to keep trains moving safely, Duncan must decide whether to carry on arguing or listen to his friends. A lively railway adventure about teamwork, responsibility and learning from mistakes.
