TUGS - High Tide - Part. 2

[TheMrbigtires]

"Took some brain to save that train". Really? Eddie is a CAR FLOAT the train could have been driven onto HIM. dur

[ElectricEdgewave192]

@TheMrbigtires the track was broken, probably better to have something soft like rubbish to land in that potentially smash itself?

[22Tesla]

@TheMrbigtires But he wasn't already under the rails of the bridge. Lord Stinker was there already.

[Reyahwind1]

Must be one of those explosive steel rigs that Big Mickey loaded onto the barge. This is the last situation you'd wana get into with an explosive steel frame!

[oricalcross]

mmmm took some brain to svae that train XD that always made me LOL

[378071]

The danger theme is Awesome!

[tomg106]

1989.... 22 years ago... i cant believe how fast its gone

[SodorSteamworks]

TOP HAT: It worked stinker your a smelly old genius !

[SodorSteamworks]

has anyone ever noticed that time ago in the coment box it used to be called highest rated comments, now its called top comments

[Tl81293]

I love the lord Stinker barge :)

[TheUnluckyTug02]

I love how the goods engine's trucks can float.

[healey02]

At 3:58 it sounds like Olivers theme on Thomas and friends.

[Roughpup100]

@healey02 it is but with a TUGS slant on it

[kaykay12226]

top hat

[kaykay12226]

ten cent rocks

[madmax]

This brings back so many memories, I loved watching this. was obsessed with it. The music, the scenes, everything about it put a smile on my face. This is one of my favorite episodes. Anyone know the name of the episode, where the barge goes sideways across the river and blocks the river?

[stephWTF]

@madmax it's called trapped

[MrANumber1]

This is by far the best episode of the series. The shots of the trains on the bridge and the electrical explosion are awesome!! Plus the whistles on the locomotives are some of the best i've ever heard! :D

[EddieTheFishReturns]

Top Hat is a role model of mine. 

[OldBrickGamer]

Your right, those do look like LGB link and pin couplers. Since they look like link and pin coulers that gives us a big hint that TUGS could take place in the US.

[Foxxnioxx]

@OldBrickGamer Actually, while the characters all have British accents, most of the Star tugs are based on 1920's San Francisco tugboats.

[athull08]

@Foxxnioxx Not quite all the characters.

The trampers Izzy Gomez (Mexican) and Johnny Cuba (Australian) have foreign accents, of course. There's also Zug, who has an Eastern european accent.

[pennyf9]

LGB is a german garden gauge or g scale model train company, The L stands for Lehmann

[TheSodorSteamworks]

I think this is my favourite episode from the series.

Well done Top Hat!

[crazyracer12]

Top Hat rescued the Goods Engine! :D

[grabiod44]

wow good work tophat

[grabiod44]

1:09 "thats real zero thinkin dumby"

[patrickward13491]

if thats a mail train then why has Puffa got passanger carriges

[pennyf9]

I see lgb couplers on puffa's cars, are they LGB?

[conductorcarson]

@pennyf9 what does LGB stand for 

[joeferrito]

That head on shot of the goods engine is one of the best looking few seconds I've ever seen in the series.

[ravenbez]

lol top hat finally doing some work instead of moaning haha

[Thomasandhomer]

Couldn't Eddie have just as easily saved the train?

[TheHankeyboy]

I never thought it was odd having a georgie and cockney tug in an american dock in the 1920's.

[MrTrainlover01]

since mikeOdonnal and the juner campal make both songs i guess it would right?

[MrTrainlover01]

at 4:05 that sounds like olvers theme

[CousinsOfTheCorn4]

@MrTrainlover01 It does!

[Raptormon132]

@MrTrainlover01

No it doesn't. sound nothing like it.

[EkkaDaWrecka1988]

Funnily enough, as a kid, I never really understood the references made in Tugs, the fact that it was set in the 1920s, the fact that there were Mafia tugboats in the show as well as a Mexican, Glaswegian and of course, the Brit snob. Watching it all now, not only refreshes my memories of characters in this series that I had not forgotten in the 20 odd years since watching this, but made everything make more sense with the adult references that were a bit over my head as a kid

[EkkaDaWrecka1988]

wow had forgotten all about this until I saw an old VHS of Tugs that I had as a kid sitting with a pile of other videos on the kitchen table. I asked my Mum what she was doing with it she said she was giving it away. But yeah that just brought back the memory of having watched Tugs as a kid and loving it, even more than Thomas The Tank Engine I think. Glad someone posted the episodes up on YouTube

[kirbyfan600]

is puffa the goods train and does the good train have a name?

[Thomasmodeler]

Imagine what the train was thinking! "Stupid idiot passenger train went before me... Uhhh, I wanna get home and see puffa. What the F***? Where's the- OH MY GOOOOOOODDD!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

[theemporour]

1:09 lol

[PYROSPYCHECK]

'Tis a fantastic programme, i wish i could travel back in time like 13 years to watch them and get them on VHS!!!

[startug]

Say, you know, this is higher quality than any other Tugs video on youtube! Congratulations Good sir!!!

[blingblabo]

any 1 no what the music called at 4:19 0 4:36

[joeferrito]

what is the sentence Top Hat says at 3:19?

[timewild09]

Oh No I know that whistle

[Cynthia149]

3:31

When the bridge callapsed, I saw electricity coming out of it, how can you get electricity in the rails. I know that they are models, but this is based in the 1920s with not much electric trains in the time, there wern't any in the setting!

[donaldengine9]

I think it's to simulate the sparks created by the metal beams running against each other.

[CobraRoll]

I believe those sparks werent from the rails. Im willing to bet that the bridge also housed electrical cables across the canal as well as serving as a railway bridge.

[ElectricEdgewave192]

i think it woz jus for effect for the kids

[CobraRoll]

In this case, it may well have been. But hey... we can always come up with fun answers for stuff! :D

[HoorayforOliver]

If this is set in the UK, then why does the Engine have an American Funnel, Cowcatcher and pulling coaches that look american?!

[Cynthia149]

It's not! It's based in America in the 1920s .

[jonboi1]

Incorrect bigg city port is in england, and yes it is set in the 1920s. However the producers have used tug designs based on american tugs, and some models and buildings may look american however this is due to the makers wanting to create an authentic look and feel to the series. Either way it is entirely possible that you could find designs and products from around the world being used in a port, as ports are where the majority of goods entered countries in this era.

[Cynthia149]

I've heared that the star fleet are based on a star fleet in San Francisco, they celebrate the 4th of July, and even have american colours in one episode, so technically it's british made, but it could be based somewhere in America, it said in Wikipedia.

[jonboi1]

dont believe everything that you read on wiki ;p

the 4th of july episode was renamed to that for the american market. It was originally called regatta.

[thebladezman]

American Market? TUGS was never even introduced to America! Save for Salty's Lighthouse which didnt even use the original concepts from TUGS. Plus TUGS most likely takes place in America, there would be no reason to celebrate the 4th then plus the American flag can be seen in some episodes!

[jonboi1]

No but it used all of the footage. And in another episode (forgets which) bigg city port is a hub for Englands towns and cities. And being an international port it is entirely possible for a port to have many different nationalities flags in it.

[Captstar2]

Actually it said INLAND cities and town...not england cities and town. We're not meant to know where it's set at. Some point to the UK and some the US.

[joeferrito]

well, they were patterned after a fleet of tugs in San Francisco

[joeferrito]

well, it was never specified

[elixaristhedragon]

Its set on america

[patrickward13491]

@Cynthia149 Puffa is based on a German 0-6-0 tank engine with US features like a oil burning headlamp and armerican whistle and a cowcatcher but he has buffers at the back to match the british rolling stock. Goods engine is based on a US dock tank he has Non US features like Buffers english smokestack and a German cab that what it said on wikia. It dosen't which place it was set in

[emily433]

cool

[supergamerbros]

4:47 looks like Lord Stinker is having a pleasent conversation with The Goods Engine.

[tug97]

At 1:03, it sounds like he says "Oh gob".

[billyshoepack]

hmm..... just noticed that at 4:47 the train seems to have chained itself to lord stinker LOL

[Nictrain123]

the music playing when lord stinker rescued the train, sounds like oliver's theme.

[Nictrain123]

when you look at it, the goods engine looks like rosie (you know, from t&f)

[BhanuHabbo]

Gosh that bridge collapes was certainly very horrifiying

[JihadOfTheSoul]

''ill never complain about your smell

again''

lolololol

[verkaforever]

Well done Top Hat! Zebedee and Zak certainly looked foolish when their prank backfired.

[Steamlover824]

I reconize that music anywhere, that's Campell and O'Donnell alright!

[BiggestThomasFan]

The scene of Top Hat and Lord Stinker saving the train is my favorite scene in the whole series.

[Lundmunchkins2000TV]

@BiggestThomasFan mine too

[scifiguy9000]

@BiggestThomasFan

Mine too.

[Vespiquen452]

Go Top Hat!

[Headbanger142]

When the train lands onto Lord Stinker, you can see two cables yanking the truck into the water.

[dwarflord812]

lololol oppps!!
