Fergus is a small railway traction engine from the Island of Sodor.
Technical Details
Basis
Fergus is based on the Aveling and Porter 2-2-0WT 'TJ' class railway traction engine No. 9449 "The Blue Circle", the last standard gauge traction engine to ever be built. Like Fergus, "The Blue Circle" worked at a cement works, Snodland Cement Works, between 1926 and 1962. It was presented to the Bluebell Railway in April of 1964, but was deemed "too slow" and loaned to a group at Quainton Road in 1997. In 2001 it was officially sold to them, and then later in 2005 to the Chinnor Princes and Risborough Railway. In 2007, it was sold to the Battlefield Line at Shackerston. In January 2015, it then moved to the Rushden, Higham and Wellingborough Railway. After being bought again in 2019, it moved to work on the Nene Valley Railway.
Livery
Fergus is painted reflex blue with gold boiler bands and red wheels. He has a brass funnel cap and bronze buffers.
