- This was a character I wasn't really expecting to make, but after an influx of requests to feature the weird little guy; I figured why not!
Little did I know it was surprisingly interesting!

Wow Fergus was so popular they made him in real life (jk)
real
Hi Aussie loco
Hi peppercar
Tence the trackeor
Fun Fact: I've seen the Real Life Furgus in the National Railway Muesuem in York back in 2007!
That is AWESOME my dude!!

@Agent Ash Mabey. It was during a DOWT event in feburary 2007.
LUCKY
“Do it right”
Don’t get me wrong, I definitely like Fergus on his own.
However, I can’t help but feel like his spot could’ve been filled by Neil. Of all the characters from the RWS who didn’t make it onto the show, Neil would’ve been one of the easier ones to make a model of.
I agree; plus Neil is a super fun character all around in my opinion. Considering he’s a lot like Toby (and probably way easier to build than Toby) that would’ve been so fun to see.
@@ItsTrainBoy indeed! I mean, ERTL and Learning Curve made toys of him, so why not?
I can understand why the Arlesdale and Culdee Fell engines weren’t in the model seasons, they would, admittedly, be difficult to make. However Neil would’ve been a synch!
With CGI, there’s no excuse!
@@ItsTrainBoy wasn’t fergases whistle used from the real train
TrainBoy, Fergus' model is in safe hands and is privately owned. He first appeared at the Bournemouth gauge 1 show alongside the replica models of Thomas and Percy. He works fully and is living a happy life 😀
Actually the blue circle hasn’t been at the RH&W since 2018. And if you wanted the names of all of the heritage railways and such that owned him (even the cement works they owned him before it was bought out by associated Portland) I wrote the wiki article about it.
If only his fly wheel hadn’t broke
iv'e always found the avelling and porter company very unusual, because most of the engines built had ONE cylinder. superb video :)
Fergus said do it right and Trainboy done did it right
Very interesting to discover so much about our favourite traction engine in one video! Also when will you showcase that real life percy model you made and teased a few months back, I really wanna see him!
Hopefully soon!! Unfortunately when I took my trip to Edison I ended up trading his chassis (only his chassis not his body shell haha!) for a Stepney model. Unfortunately I just haven’t gotten his new chassis yet. :(
HOWEVER, tomorrow I plan to hopefully release a James that’s more or less in the style. Percy I’m hoping will be sooner than later I’ve just found the Peckett chassis harder to obtain as of recent. Thank you for asking and sorry this was so much haha! :)
Ok bro, and hoping lil 009 Duncan and uncle Hon30 Duncan are doing good, I guess I'm the Duncan guy I hope you like my Duncan replica model I showed in my Hornby Thomas video! Thanks- Monika 020
It's sad how many characters during this era of Thomas were introduced (Billy, Madge, Dennis, Nelson, Flora, Molly, Hector, Fergus, Isabella, etc) but never got brought back to the series. They could've had some serious potential when they moved to full-on CGI.
I still miss him
This is random, but Fergus's whistle is one of my favorite sounding in the series!
No one cares-
Dang
Fergus has one of the best whistles

If I were Mattel, I would bring back Fergus with interesting details, like having the number 23 on his side and a bronze nameplate. I would also feature him in Lost Treasure of Sodor, and for the cherry on top, his voice actor for a US dub would be Tom Kenny, while the UK would be David Tennant. What do you all think?
I really enjoyed your discussion about him, thanks for it!
You have (as Fergus says) done it right!
I’ve always imagined Fergus having a Scottish accent. I don’t know why, I just thought it was suited for him
if he appeared earlier in CGI that would have worked
And I always though if him being voiced by Tom Kenny.
I loved this channel I still have the small 1992 Thomas, Boco, James, Edward and Douglas models.
Y'know, I really liked Fergus, I never really wondered what happened to him. I hope he gets found and repaired at some point.
2:05 AHHHHH I work there! That’s the Buckinghamshire railway centre!!!
GIVE FERGUS A PET FOR ME
@@ItsTrainBoy sadly he only visited and is no longer here but two of his brothers are
You should've talked a little about Theo (from Journey Beyond Sodor) too, because they share a basis.
Theo just looks similar to Fergus, besides that they have no relation 🤣
Fergus: Do it right!
Bill: Don’t interfere!
Imagine a behind the scenes video on Billy
It’s a shame that he didn’t appear in the CGI Series, because he could’ve fit right in
Ye
i can think of him in CGI
I can imagine him being in an episode with Timothy
I literally requested this yesterday
Just to let you know, Higham is pronounced Hi-Am. I live very close to the rushden historical transport society area and have seen it in real life
What is the argument in the beginning i can't stop,laughing
I looked up “british people arguing” and that was a result- 😭
The shortest but cutest design.!
I like the title “Fergus Breaks the Rules” 👍
Thank you thank you I’m I’m proud of you for making this video
YAY my favourite character perfect timing I just started building a Fergus
I feel like Don’t Be Silly Billy could’ve easily been a Fergus episode. Just have Fergus in Thomas’ role. I feel like he and Billy would have some funny interactions.
NOT THE BALTIMORE ACCENT AT THE BEGINNING 😭
Fergus the railway traction engine is the pride of the Cement works he knows all the rules and obeys them plus he always liked to do things right which is why he always says DO IT RIGHT
Awesome 😎
Thank you! Cheers!
I feel Fergus may have had more chances for character development if it weren’t for that pebble damaging him. How unfortunate that he was cut short due to something so small.
fergus looks nice a little rusted
it makes him look used
history of Trevor next please! He has an interesting inspiration.
My boy Fergus!
yeah Fergus is the best
That first part I can see James and Thomas arguing honestly…
Well that’s a video idea I thought would never happen
There’s some facts which are missing like the “small” preservation group is Buckinghamshire Railway centre and Blue Circle was bought by the Nene Valley railway in 2018
Very good my first toy was twr feetus or trackmaster 1 Henry
its now based at the nene valley railway ;)
OH that’s awesome!! That’s a railway I’ve never heard literally anything bad about, I hope to visit one day myself haha. Thank you for that info! :)
@@ItsTrainBoy XD sorry i just guessed you didnt know it had moved
amazing
There is one at the Chatham historic dockyard
Fergus approves this video for doing it right.
Fergus, perhaps a historic engine to Sodor, and of course, A great steamie
Ferguson was a cool character, his whistle had a unique sound that I think everyone loves. Since you've done Ferguson, how about our OG traction engine Terrence.

A pretty interesting history on Fergus the traction engine he is a pretty good character despite that he only appeared in season 7 because his model is damaged during the Landslide sequence on bill Ben and Fergus I had always and always and always wanted Fergus at first I was literally thinking about using a wooden railway Fergus or Take Along Fergus or even maybe making my own custom but then I found the perfect one which I got for Christmas last year which is the Ertl version and I'm going to be honest with you Fergus is the best UK exclusive model in my opinion.
we know
im surprised you didn't bring up how the orignal model was brought to a model train show and got to sit on a fanmade set featuring a replica thomas and the orignal lower tidmuth station
When/where was that? I don't think @TrainBoy was aware of anything which happened with the model after it's last appearance on the show
@@lukeball2868about 2019 or so
Fergus was my favrort charter but i now what he might look like in C.G.I but sadly his fly wheel was brocken so yeah its sad he did not make it
Trevor on the tracks
He da pride of the cement works now
can you do the history of dennis next
I'd like to see a video(s) about the sets that were used if at all possible
Do Derek next!
That character had so much potential to be a friendly diesel and the fact that he was only used for one episode infuriated me. I thought he would have such good character ark, he’s a diesel whose model had engine cooling problems but he was very friendly, would’ve been a goddamn story if bill and Ben started bullying him a little too much to the point where he lost his patience
YEESSSSSSSS MY BOI
fergus my beloved
same
very cool train boy can you make a video about molly please
My Nan and Pa’s dog is called Fergus. He’s being put down today ;(
Well Fergus did had more stories planned before his model went disused after that accident
This is a very nice and informative video, however, would you ever get the plarail oigawa James?
Thomas is taking those bombs to Mattel
If Fergus’ gauge 1 was damaged after the episode Bill, Ben, and Fergus, why couldn’t the crew just build another model of Fergus. Then he would have appeared more in model series and maybe returned in the CGI series. I wish they did that or build a stunt model of Fergus during the rockslide scene. His model would have appeared more until the end of the model era before switching to CGI. Think about it.
@jacob cook A shoestring budget at that, considering what they had to produce. Modeling ain't cheap!
@@Dat-Mudkip Not at all!
He Should Appear in CGI with a Voice Actor!
It appears my comment was found or others were found, but nonetheless yessssss fergus
Why couldn’t they build two gauge one models for him in the first place?
Zero money
because Britt isnt HiT and didn't waste the budget
Lance. WHEN WILL WE GET THE HISTORY OF BOULDER
Did they get the small pebble out of the exposed mechanism?
I don’t believe so sadly :(
PLS DO THE TROUBLESOME TRUCKS NEXT!
you like the trucks
Ayeee furgus always connected to me in a way due to my last name being Ferguson, it’s the odd one out that stands out to me
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
I’m Pretty Sure He’s At The Nene Valley Railway Now
Yes he is.
@@FlyingScotFilms Welp He Done Messed Up
Why did they decide to create a rockslide and have fergus buried?
Furgus he is one odd One and I love the color he was a good character it suck we never see he again
Yay one of my favs
''DO IT RIGHT!''.
Yes
Do Harold next please. You can't leave out ol' wirlybird
fergus's brass model season 7 2003-season 7 2003
Can you do stanley
Hay trainboy can you please do a video on Molly what ever happened to her
Coincidence that I just scratch built a trackmaster fergus
Can you do Molly next?
oh so that why he didn't appears in other seasons
I know alot of people who thinks Fergus is actually Theo and i do not think so
they might be brothers who knows
Man, it would have been cool and so much better if Fergus returned in the CGI series instead of being replaced by some oil burning engine called Timothy.
Can you do Trevor?
What about my man Harold? I’m sure he’d have an interesting history.
Let’s goooo
can you do bertrum
😔It’s too bad no one felt the same when they added the West Country class
Who do you all prefer Fergus or Theo.
One of many characters that should’ve been brought to cgi
Wait why does Thomas have those nukes?
Aveling is pronouced "A-veh-ling"
Rushden, Higham and Wellingborough Railway,
Higham is pronounced Hi-Ham
We have some bloody funny ways of pronouncing things in England, not quite as bad a the Welsh lol.
5:01 RWS Purist alert
Lmao far from it personally. This just doesn’t have the “created by the Rev. W. Awdry and introduced in this book” opening to his story. Most RWS purists hate me because I refuse to follow it like a rule book. 🤣
He looks like Theo from JBS
Honestly, Fergus was one of those characters that was just....there
i lov the FEEEEERRRRRGUS-FOO(!) D: :3
