Dusty Miller has his own windmill for making flour on Toby's Branch Line. He is a good friend of Toby and Lady Hatt. He sometimes helps out at the Hillside Mill near the Skarloey Railway.
When his windmill was struck by lightning, Toby wanted to help. That chance came sooner than expected when Toby came across a tree and asked if he could use it to rebuild the mill. When the windmill was rebuilt, the miller named it Toby's Windmill in thanks.
