The engines are busier than ever at The Crooked Funnel, because today brings a wonderful new collection of arrivals! Fergus the Traction Engine has officially chuffed onto the site! alongside a brand-new face, Milton the Serene Engine! But that’s not all! A beautiful new woodland route inspired by the forest and countryside from Daisy’s Railway Series story is now available too!
Fergus is ready to puff proudly onto the rails with his famous motto of “doing things right,” while Milton huffs with a calm and cheerful nature that makes him a most reliable engine indeed. Meanwhile, the new short woodland route takes drivers through the winding trees of Thomas' Branchline. Head over to their respective pages to bring these engines/route into your collection today!
Fergus may look unusual compared to the other engines on Sodor, and that’s because his real-life basis was built to work in factories and industrial yards rather than on busy main lines. His large flywheel and sturdy design made him perfect for heavy work, helping earn him the title of “The Pride of the Cement Works!”

The Crooked Funnel is thrilled to announce some fresh arrivals on Sodor! Today, we’re welcoming Daisy the Diesel Railcar and Turles, the Diesel of the Ministry of Defense, straight onto the site. Alongside them, Stanley has received a shiny new update, bringing him even closer to perfection for your Trainz routes.
Daisy is ready to glide along the branch line with her temperamental personality, whilst Turles brings a dash of discipline and secrecy to any defense base! Stanley’s update smooths out the details and makes him even more enjoyable to run.
Hop over to their respective page to bring these engines into your collection today! And stay tuned, as more familiar Sodor faces and updates are always steaming down the line.
Daisy is a one of a kind on Sodor because her real-life basis usually came in pairs! That makes her very special, as she’s the only one running solo on the island.
Carrying passengers all by herself and showing just how useful a single diesel railcar can be!
