| This article is about the controller of the Arlesdale Railway. You may be looking for the traction engine, its Story Library book, the narrow gauge engine or its other Story Library book. |
- “Bert, you're a very naughty engine. I won't have rudeness to visitors!"
"But they splashed me first, sir. I was only paying them-"
"No excuses, thank you, Bert! I'm ashamed of you! Go to your shed!” - ― The Small Controller scolding Bert
Mr. Fergus Duncan, nicknamed the Small Controller is the General Manager of the Arlesdale Railway. He is actually taller than the Fat Controller and the Thin Controller; his nickname refers to the fact that his railway is often called the "Small Railway".
Personality
The Small Controller is very passionate about his work and never married. He preferred instead to devote his life entirely to work on his railway.
Like every other controller of their own railway on Sodor, he acts as a fatherly figure to his engines and always knows when to be stern with them should they misbehave.
Attire
Fergus Duncan's attire consists of a yellow waistcoat over a white shirt with a red tie and a brown jacket over it, with mustard windowpane chequered trousers. He wears a yellow flower on his jacket.

Trivia
- Unlike Sir Topham Hatt and Mr. Percival, he is referred to by his nickname in the US version of the television series.
- He is the only railway controller on the Island of Sodor to be a direct transplant from the Railway Series, as Sir Topham Hatt was a loose adaptation of the three from the books, while Mr. Percival was original to the television series. Additionally, Walter Richards never appeared in the television series.
- In the French dub, his first name is "Fulbert." His last name is unchanged but pronounced with nasal vowels and silent 'n's as if it was a French name.
