tugs up river

Towing huge piles of logs was always a very dangerous operation. When the snows began to melt and the rivers swelled it added to the danger because the sudden rush of water could cause log jams had to be carefully untangled. One day, a particularly nasty log jam had occured and Big Mac was being helped by Sunshine to try and clear it. Before Big Mac could stop him, Sunshine rammed into the high log jam and found himself trapped. Ten Cents arrives to help Big Mac free Sunshine, but one false move could spell disaster.

One of the most exciting TUGS episodes. Love of how Warrior saved the day, he is my favourite TUGS character.

[@robnewman6101]

I wonder what it would be like to watch this episode in Skegness.

[@ThomasTenCents34526]

13:47 Warrior, you've got a branch on your deck.

[@mbart5113]

What did the Startugs and the Puffa train discuss with each other from 1:52 to 14:09?

[@Mason58654]

Thank you for uploading these. This is such a good show, and a shame it only lasted for 13 episodes.

[@josephmarrison4606]

They might bring it back someday in CGI if they wanted to.

Tugs is the best

[@BreadGuy01]

When you think of the scale that was used for the models in this show, you suddenly realise that Warrior was rammed by the equivalent of a small forest.

[@NWR1991]

It was popular, but TVS, the money provider for the show and Clearwater, went bust and the show's second season was cancelled.

[@Mousetrap1740]

God...I miss this show..

[@robnewman6101]

Tugs, 1920s.

[@robnewman6101]

[@Johnny_64]

13:47 did Warrior tell Ditcher he did “a hell of a job”??

[@montygolf6893]

No, Warrior said that Little Ditcher would be 'done out of a job'

[@gabrielledillon1453]

[@shunt0141]

DIS PHOOKIN THEME I CANT STAP KRIN

[@JamesJAKAZeldaboy14]

Wait... At 4:41, was that a China Clay Truck from Thomas and Friends!?

[@mikeshearer1250]

or at the time was Thomas the tank engine and friends

[@SCOTGamingwithJack]

01:07 you can hear a part of repairs themes from thomas season 2

[@tehdrago]

It's the viaduct theme

[@Mattcai2004]

This is due to the fact that the then show's composers, Junior Campbell and Mike O'Donnell, worked on TUGS as well

[@Lover-of-Creative-Priorities]

Ya know i doudt those 🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵 would be enough to level *Up Town.* Along with Warriors plan to stop them. I can understand sunshine nearly being 🔥 🔥 🔥 alive along with the keyside being destroyed, and with two bardges being used to hold them in the lake, and even an old factory 🏭 that had some bombs 💣💣 laying around anyway being triggered by a strong force But those 🪵🪵🪵 don't look big enough for the dangers the characters and the narrator describe Unless that 🪵 jam was as big as a valley or the town itself then I would agree But it doesn't look big enough to level up town It looks like it would fall apart at the entrance, bend a few wooden pears but not metal ones, then just break up into smaller chunks of 🪵🪵🪵as it flows down stream just bumping into things on the water 🌊💦
