| The Sister Series |
|
| Also made by Clearwater features during the 1980s, although it has now moved away from Awdry's style |
Clearwater features consisted of Robert D. Cardona and David Mitton, so
when Robert moved to Canada. It is my guess this is why Britt Alcroft moved in as Executive Producer for Thomas The Tank
Engine and Friends. It seems that this break up could be a reason for a second series of Tugs not being made, as TVS and Britt
Alcroft were seperate companies (how vain naming a company after yourself!). For both series originally made by Clearwater
Features Junior Cambell and Mike O'Donnell composed the music, some of which is on this site.
Here is just a sample of some of the titles that relate to Tugs along with the main three obvious ones.

| As described above, Bob Cardona is said to have looked at this as a basis for Tugs |
