Everyone knew that the day would come, it was more of a matter of when.
As Dilly got older, she started slowing down, there would be days when she wouldn’t visit the shed at all preferring to sleep in her nest box at her station. The station master noticed this and took her to a vet.
“She’s an elderly duck.” They said.
Despite her age, Dilly still liked to visit the passengers. The locals and fans of the railway series would come just to meet her, she would do a little dance and happily visit everyone. Needless to say everyone was devastated when the day came.
Dilly didn’t leave her nest box, she slept often only to get up to eat and drink. The stationmaster moved her inside and began bring her home with him to take care of her. One night, Donald woke up to Dilly sitting on his running board, she had left before the stationmaster took her home. Dilly nestled up to Donald where they watched the stars together until they both fell asleep.
Dilly passed away that night in her sleep on the running board of her engine, the engine she imprinted on as a duckling.
A funeral was held for her. She was cremated and her ashes were scattered along the shores of her pond. People started a memorial for her, they left flowers, bread, and peas on the platform for weeks. Everyone missed Dilly very much.
During the spring the next year, Donald was delighted to learn that some art students who were fans of the railway series were going to erect a brass statue of Dilly at her station. The statue featured Dilly in a stationmaster’s uniform blowing a whistle. The statue was a hit. Every time Donald passed by the station, he couldn’t help but shed a tear at the sight of it. Dilly was loved and now will never be forgotten. What started as a prank between engines now became a staple of the branchline.

One Last Goodbye
I can explain, and I'm sorry for killing off Dilly. In my headcanon, Dilly is a white call duck. I have done research before drawing this. Clearly, call ducks are common in Britain, and they have a life span of 4-8 years. But if they are properly taken care of, they can live up to 10-12 years. So Dilly, born on November 15, 1968, lived 12 years until her death one month after her 12th birthday and died on December 17, 1980. Mother nature, am I right? Donald, of course, would break down into tears and cry for her. Duck as well if he finds out.

Incorrect Ttte Quotes 67:
Duck: You need to stop doing weird things to cope with the stress. Like arguing with your brother. Going outside and touching some grass might help.
Donald: I went to ye park today.
Duck: There you go! I hope you got something from that.
Donald: *Opening his coat* This duck. I call her Dilly.
Dilly: Quack.

Happy (Late)9/9 Day!!
(Have the two nines interacting. Poor Donnie is so lost on Fred’s slang.)
Fred prefers the company of animals to people/humanoids so their convo goes like this:
Fred to Dilly: So rumors been going around that a duck took a crap on the establishment?
Dilly: Quack.
Fred: Heh. Metal, I salute you.
