How I Built Arthur - Tug's Trains

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Arthur is such an underrated character who had so much potential. I remember him being my favorite of the Wooden Railway engines I owned. I love your personal AU for him. Apart from the three season gap between Duck getting his branchline and Arthur first appearing, it fits perfectly. into the time

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

It fits the RWS better than the show

[@beard3451]

For those of you who don't know, Arthur's name was chosen by a TV magazine competition, and was named by competition winner Luke Sharp, who named him after his late grandfather Arthur Sharp. I find that so sweet!

[@gkingGabe72]

That's so cool. What a sweet and clever way to name a new character. I wished they brought him back in the CGI Series.

[@beard3451]

@@gkingGabe72 I wish they brought him back as well. I also wish and hope that Luke Sharp will somehow come to know that the character he named after his grandfather is quite popular.

[@fanofeverything30465]

Awwwww so sweet ❤ Great way to remember his late grandfather

[@joshuaW5621]

I like to believe that he’s named after King Arthur in-universe.

[@trainfan32]

That arthur theme song at the begging was clever as heck

[@tlazohtlalia]

I agree

[@DeCaptainOfFireFish]

I genuinely laughed 😂

[@metal_wheels]

I have watched the original tug's trains videos repeatedly and now I'm watching it again. These stuff are so addictive man

[@marcoaryo1043]

your headcanon to put Arthur into the Railway Series suprisingly fits really well edit a year later: i meant this as in his LMS origins with his TVS stories still making sense in RWS lore

[@ebkjosh8240]

0:19 I love how you used the theme song of a different show that's name is Arthur. It's a good show btw.

[@Juanthemtg]

Yeeeaaaahh we’ve all seen it pal

[@Imjustasimpleman5310]

I love that you used the theme from the show "Arthur".

[@USS_UtahBB-31]

People: Why is arthur your favorite character? Me: YES!

[@jaanshersaeed4541]

I like to think in the RWS canon Arthur would be one of the Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2Ts that was built by the LMS from 1946-1947 and among them, 1207/41207 was allocated the closest to Barrow in Furness (at Carlisle Upperby) before being withdrawn and when being brought to Sodor (say something like 1968-1970) he wanted to be repainted LMS Maroon due to preferring it over the LMS Black he originally had. He also got rebuilt with larger side tanks and wheels like a Standard 3MT 2-6-2T I guess to be able to take heavier trains over longer distances if needed.

[@tugsfan1617]

Arthur he is just a great character I wish he was in the cgi series but no he had to be gone😢

[@bladegriggs4090]

Same here.

[@SparklingJam]

3:46 Emily: *cries in the sheds*

[@Damianwindmill]

My headcanon is that he stays on the west side of Sodor, but takes up most of Donald and Douglas’ duties on the Little Western as Donald and Douglas both now at this point also work on the Misty Valley Branch Line. The Fishing Village Line is where Arlesburgh Harbor is, the line starts north of Bluff’s Cove, runs along the Harbor until it reaches the end of it, and loops back around where it meets up with Toby’s branch line. As we always see him on the west side of Sodor in all of his appearances, I believe this makes the most sense story wise going all with the events of season 7.

[@loona4133]

This train looks so cool. He looks so cool. Nice work my friend

[@IDKovers]

I'm just happy to see my home station appear in an Unlucky Tug Video. I live in Keighley and 41241 is the KWVRs flagship engine, so it's nice to see the love for it Also, it's "Keith-Lee" not "kee-Lee"

[@YurtFerguson]

Anybody else going through watching every video just to upvote it too?

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

And I say HEY! (HEY!) What a wonderful kind of day If you can learn to work and play And get along with each other

[@Topaz_1104]

I remember as a kid Arthur was my favorite, I’m looking forward for dapol’s new release.

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

We may be getting a N scale arthur No no not from the Thomas line from bachmann More so his real basis from I think Dapol . Yes the red KWVR Likewise with Spencer … and how the A4 engines well some of them were painted in silver . Just to remove the smokebox or to just file it down . Then to go ahead and fit a face up front . Maybe a 3d printed one . Or some other fsce similarly sized to the front . Maybe try it . For a N scale arthur custom . Quick and simple

[@ashbridgeindustries]

As I've actually been to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and seen 41241 in person, that makes Arthur the first of your AU characters that I've met in real life!

[@ItsCarlos563]

Arthur should have appeared in CGI, but I'm afraid that will never happen...

[@bladegriggs4090]

I wish he appeared during the Brenner era.

[@acefist5502]

Something tells me that Ryan may have been the replacement for author.

[@stepneydr_n.5561]

@@bladegriggs4090 same

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

And I have a feeling that if he did make an appearance in CGI he would have been voiced by British voice actor Simon Greenall or at least that's who I would have liked to have voiced Arthur doing his Mr Happy voice from the Mr Men Show

[@fanofeverything30465]

​@@bladegriggs4090I wish they brought him back in Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure

[@WoodenRailwayWonderland]

1:27 he also lacks the top feed and has a more stretched out design like a 3mt. He also gets his Step letters smokebox from a 3mt

[@Silvertardis]

I wonder what other TV only characters you think would fit into the Railway Series besides Arthur, Salty and Spencer? Emily perhaps, Molly, Fergus, Murdoch, Harvey?

[@janmelantu7490]

I love Emily as a character (A Doncaster like Gordon but Edward’s age? So much story potential), but she is definitely a bit of an anachronism and doesn’t fit well in the tight timeline of the Awdry books. I could definitely see her being a Duke situation. Or maybe she was bought by a private collector in the 1910s as her class was being withdrawn and was only a static display piece until the collector’s grandkid wanted her returned to steam and Hatt agreed to help restore her on the condition she worked part-time for the NWR.

[@erickaraujo5327]

I think Murdoch will fit very well since well you can put it like this. The goods work increased to the point that Henry needed help so Sir Topham Hat decided to get a new engine to help Henry and back on the Mainland a 9f N'92219 was being withdrawn from service so Topham bought him and that 9f was Murdoch

[@patrickwebb7311]

​@@janmelantu7490 funnily enough I think WildNorWestor is doing that for Sodor the Modern Years.

[@TheAutisticCapricorn811]

If only Wilbert Awdry could've lived longer to make more story ideas as such into publishing history for both the kids and adults to enjoy. Plus, it would be cool for Unlucky Tug to pitch in new editions to his "Tug's Trains" and "Sodor's Finest" videos.

[@FunAngelo2005]

Fergus would fit nicely

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

I wish Arthur was brought back in CGI something will never get now because Mattel had to be greedy and make a stupid 2D flash animated reboot

[@bladegriggs4090]

Same here and I agree.

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

Arthur probably didn’t come back in CGI due to his similarities to Ryan (big tank engine who Thomas initially didn’t like).

[@totallytidmouth]

​Then why did they bring back Stanley lol

[@anrisak2596]

I have a theory. Arthur was replaced by Ryan.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Personally for me, my favourite from that season is Murdoch. When I first saw him on the screen I was like “he’s a beast!” Like who’s really taking on Murdoch? And I liked the giant that just wants peace and quiet which is ironic since I’m short and loud. But I was a shy quiet kid when I saw him and I enjoyed that. Arthur is top something for me. Between him and Emily and Salty and Spencer. Dam that was a good season for new characters

[@Jetthehawk1994]

No. The Kipper is a main line train. Arthur was relocated to Norramby, which is located on the south east side of Sodor at the end of a branch line. But I think Arthur would meet up with the Kipper at either Crovan's gate or Vicarstown to add more vans to the Kipper.
