Several road vehicles have been seen around Bigg City Port.
Cars[]
There are many vintage cars seen around the harbours. In the regatta parade, two of these cars were featured on top of barges. There are also two black cars, which were seen at the munitions factory. One of them is a 1934 Ford.
Many lorries/trucks have also been seen around the harbours. They deliver cargo from tramp steamers, ferries and ocean liners to other cities and towns. The lorries also come in different types; some are flatbeds while others are pickups or tankers.
In the episode Regatta, a broken blue car was seen at the garbage dump in the piles of garbage. It was later featured on Lord Stinker for the regatta.
Trivia[]
- It is anachronistic for a 1934 Ford to be used and seen, as TUGS is set in the 1920s, not the mid-1930s. This case is similar to Little Owl as his basis was not in use until the 1930's.
- In the episodes Pirate, Munitions and Regatta, a lorry had the word "STAR" printed on its sides, a possible link to the Star Fleet.
- A pickup truck, the bulldozer and the steam shovel were used on the Thomas & Friends television series after TUGS' production ended. The pickup truck made its only appearance in the third series episode, Toby's Tightrope, while the bulldozer appeared between the third series and the fifth series. The steam shovel only appeared in the third series and in the fifth series episode Stepney Gets Lost.
