Happy Halloween Eve, everyone! Yeah there was no way I couldnt throw my hat into this ring, the moment he was revealed I know what I had to do lol

based on a BR Class 74, it's a shame he died :(

A new engine comes to cover for James, but is he really as “super” as he claims? Presenting SUPER E.D.!

Did something a bit different this time; both TV and extended versions included.

Story prompt. The trucks are acting up as usual; when engine X has to arrange them, they do their standard “we want engine Y” bit. As it turns out, engine Y *is* available and takes over, leading to a civil war between the trucks who were making excuses and those who *actually* wanted engine Y

Had a really trippy dream last night which involved someone discovering a behind the scenes reel for TUGS. It would’ve been a continuation/soft reboot that was worked on in the mid-late 90s before getting scrapped. It was animated, BUT all the boats/cranes/etc were filmed on a chroma key background-
