[Trainz 2019] TUGS High Tide Temporary Remake (Please Read Desc)

This is my first take on remaking a scene from a TUGS episode: High Tide, where Top Hat and Lord Stinker saves both the mail train, and the goods train. Although, there is a bit of a problem. Since I don't have all the TUGS assets for Trainz, particularly Frank & Eddie, the loaded barges, etc. some shots aren't exactly accurate compared to what's seen in the episode.
Also, Top Hat's head doesn't move, nor do his eyes for that matter. It doesn't even have exchangeable faces, so I'm pretty much stuck with what I've got for this video until the foreseeable future.
Since I don't have the Frank & Eddie assets, I had to make do with a rail barge which I had downloaded from the DLS, and I also added a couple of small garage buildings to give the illusion that they're Frank & Eddie's heads. I have never made any kit bashing whatsoever for this particular video, nor do I have the proper experience on how to do so.
For the trains, I was going to use a Western Pacific locomotive since the railroad logo was spotted in the first episode: Sunshine, but I decided instead to use a couple of Union Pacific locomotives because why not. For the Mail Train, aka Puffa, I have used the UP S-5 locomotive, and some Harriman Coaches. For the Goods Train, aka Little Owl, I have used the S-6, also from Trainz Forge. The rolling stock however, most of it I got from the DLS, while the caboose is from Trainz Forge. The route is a work in progress "Kirby River Shortline," and the route is going through several changes at the moment.
If anyone reads this, and if they know what I'm going through, thank you for understanding.
Edit: As of October 2023: I now have Trainz 2022, and therefore this video will be the legit last and final remake video I’ll ever make using TRS19, because I wasn’t able to log into the game anymore. I had no choice but to create a new account and therefore start from scratch. That is, start on the downtown canal bit from scratch, since I wasn’t able to save that part of the route. On the bright side, not all of the route is lost, since I have it backed up and yet I’m still working on that one. It may look different, but it’s the same route, but I’m not gonna release it yet.

Amazing Remake Bro

[@T128Productions]

Thanks.

[@SuperFoxyRailwayProduction6702]

Nice remake, to bad you didn't use 4466 at the begging of the video, but still the best remake i've seen today!

[@T128Productions]

I may not have used 4466, but the ones I used are the same thing, except they have different numbers, and one of them has a raised headlight.

[@rockstarrob766]

What type of engine was 4466 ?

[@T128Productions]

Union Pacific 4466 is an S-6 class 0-6-0 Switcher locomotive, built in 1920 by Lima Locomotive Works from Lima Ohio.

Great job josh!

[@T128Productions]

Thanks, this was quite a challenge. If you weren’t aware, this is the last video I’ll ever make using Trainz 2019 before I ran into some trouble with my old account and I couldn’t log into Trainz 2019 anymore. In conclusion, I had to make a new account and buy Trainz 2022 (the game that I’m now using) to make my videos.

[@sirdavidcrawford]

TidmouthYard3D has Puffa and Little Owl, and Mid Sodor Model Works has Frank and Eddie.

[@T128Productions]

Thanks for the feedback. Anyway, I decided not to use the Puffa and Little Owl models, because somehow it would look better if I used the UP engines, kind of a “What if” scenario.

[@T128Productions]

For your information, if I wanted to remake High Tide in its entirety, I would prefer to use the rolling stock variant where it goes on the tracks, rather than having a static model.

[@kaseyleitchnextgen3281]

HTTSHS 5… still waiting for it.

[@joeythecat7482]

I'm not sure how true it is, but I think the people who made the Tugs models are working on faces n stuff

[@T128Productions]

If you’re talking about the show, that is true since David Mitton has worked on both TUGS and Thomas and Friends since these shows both have characters with interchanging faces and eye movements. Unlike T&F, the characters in TUGS have moving heads, and the faces have a more natural color compared to the ones seen in Thomas. If you’re talking about the Trainz model, then I have no idea how it’s supposed to work.

[@Chessie-Steam-Special]

Really good models!!! Edit:Where and how?

[@T128Productions]

It’s kinda complicated, but I was in the process of recreating this part of a route when I made this video. Then all of a sudden I started having problems with the storage, and I forgot to save the progress on the route. At least I still have the previous version of the same route so that way I can try to rebuild what I lost. Not to mention that this video is already one of the last of my TRS19 remakes since I just moved onto TRS22. But for the models however, the UP S Class locomotives I used were from Trainz Forge. The Top Hat model was from here trainkid916.wixsite.com/claytruckworks/watercraft-vehicles And for mostly everything else is from the Download Station & the payware DLC which was included with the game. Since I have gotten TRS22, I don’t have all the assets, like the tankers for instance, to fully recreate this scene all over again. Btw, for the Top Hat model, since there is no script to move the eyes and head or to change different expressions, which is why he looked a little weird in most of these shots.

[@matthiasmarkjr3202]

I know this isn't about this video but I found the source for that one polar express scene (u might now it already) Sp 4450 aka nathan 6 chime

[@T128Productions]

I don’t think so, it might’ve been from another whistle.

[@sp4449gs]

Hmmm not bad

[@NicholasMarion-pl9bm]

Where did you get Top Hat?

[@T128Productions]

I got the model from the Clay Truck Works website, which also has plenty of Thomas content, as well as TUGS & Theodore Tugboat content for just about any version of Trainz Simulator. I would recommend TANE, TRS19 and up, for starters.

[@NicholasMarion-pl9bm]

@@T128Productions Well, since you got Top Hat from Clay Truck Works, I was wondering if you could do the whistles of the TUGS and Theodore Tugboat content.

[@JanimYestheAmtrakCalifornia]

and that's not like thomas and friends

[@T128Productions]

Oh, but it is. David Mitton worked on both Thomas and TUGS.

[@thewestatlanticrailway]

Instead of UP 4416 you could have just added UP 4466

[@T128Productions]

No way, since 4466 always had its headlight placed on the center of the smoke box door since it was built. I have used the same locomotive class as 4466, except I renumbered it to 4454 as I was trying to showcase a sister engine to 4466. Same thing with 4416, except that one has the headlight placed on top of the smoke box.

[@ItstheBreadMan]

I would like to see more remakes like this!
