Tugs may have gone, but some of the chacters live on in Thomas the Tank Engine, below are props and characters that have
been attempted to be put in the Background decretely. Others have been re built, but still show the tell tale signs of being
characters in previous Tugs Episodes. The most notable character is Big Mickey who appears in many of the pictures below,
with the only difference being that his cone was removed, so he is just in the background now.
Discrete Characters
| The Fultan Ferry |
|
| Often seen in the background, and sunk in Quarantine, here is the Fulan Ferry as seen in TTTE. |
| The Ocean Liner |
|
| This looks very much like a cross between the SS Vienna and the Duchess |
| Star Stack? |
|
| Is that a Star Tug's Funnel that we can see behind that Tug? not to mention the other vessels! |
|
| Pre series 3 you never saw a crane like this one, now they appear along all port docksides |
| Big Mickey, Tramper and other vessels |
|
| Wasn't that the Tramper that collided with Lilly before sinking on Dender Rocks in 4th of July? |
| A Scene from Tugs? |
|
| No, the people show that this is infact from a series 3 episode of TTTE |
Re-Builds
| OJ and Shrimper (Peter Sam & the Refreshment Lady) |
|
| Here you can see a rebuilt and re painted OJ with two vessels from Tugs infront. |
| Z Stack from Something In the Air |
