Fergus is a railway traction engine.

Fergus mainly works at the cement works, and thus calls himself "The pride of the Cement Works". He always loves to work at the cement works and he thinks there is no better place to be.

Fergus knows the rulebook off by heart, and his catchphrase is "Do it right!" His insistence on doing everything absolutely according to the rules can annoy the other engines, but he is a decent engine at heart and will not hesitate to help others in trouble.Fergus is also a hard worker and he is always there to help.

Basis
Fergus is based on an Aveling and Porter railway traction engine, of which there is only one left in the world (of which Fergus shares the same liver with). Since Fergus' introduction, the locomotive has been dressed up as him on special occasions.

Appearances
Fergus only appeared in the seventh season, in two episodes.

Livery
Fergus is painted navy with gold boiler bands and red wheels.
