The incident is described on the first page of the story "Mike's Whistle" in Railway Series book no.22, "Small Railway Engines", which introduces Rex, Bert and Mike, and the Arlesdale Railway; this is based on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.
Just how you use a steam whistle to boil eggs remains a mystery.
To be quite honest, it might be simpler than we think; steam whistles allow a very minute amount of steam to escape without sounding the whistle, so either the driver or fireman carefully pulls the chord gently to allow a consistent amount of steam out of the whistle without sounding it off to heat the pan and, consequently, boil eggs. Poor Duck.
All right, I'm going to stick to the television series with this one.
Who is the first American engine to be introduced to the show?
Residential train-afficionado in training, and Thomas & Friends fan.
