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
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 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.
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
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
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1946-1947 and among them, 1207/41207 was allocated the closest to Barrow in Furness (at Carlisle Upperby) before being withdrawn and when being brought to Sodor (say something like 1968-1970) he wanted to be repainted LMS Maroon due to preferring it over the LMS Black he originally had.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.
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.
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"
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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!
I’m keep the number: 41243 in my take on Arthur because just like Salty and Stepney: it wouldn't make sense when the real life engine that is still around us will be a Sudrian residence.
Actually the paint that you put on artur is really beautiful it looks like what a 41241 would look if it was painted red i honestly dont like the tv series red paint for artur it kinda made it, look toy like.
0:20 And I say HEY! (HEY!) What a wonderful kind of day If we can learn to work and play And get along with each other. well it's my kind of day hey! well it's not my kind of day Arthur: (LMS) HEY! me: um, hey DW (but Arthur's little sister herself finds the true origin of blueprint name being a ytp) DW: HEY! me: (let go of bunny but Alister grabs her) WOAAAAAAAAHH (& unlike the Aardvark hitting something I crash into the monster high halls where the main ghouls & such see me) lizzie hearts: (Sighs) what a wonderful kind of day eh (the Fairburn tank engine laughs)
@ Yes I agree. I don’t think Mattel realizes bringing back old charecters will make us like the shows current state more. If they really want us to comeback they could just continue the cgi series. They’re still making cgi merch anyway minis and wooden railway come into mind.
my head-cannon for station piolet at Knapford Station. first it was Thomas then he went to his branchline then Percy took over. then when Percy went to work at the harbor Duck took over. then Duck left for the Little Western so Arthur took over. then Arthur left for Harwich Phillip the box cab diesel took over as station piolet. Phillip is still station piolet to this day.
By realistic standards, yes, Arthur would've been Sodor's #12, and I know for a fact that in the "Unlucky AU", Emily would never a Sodor resident, and she would've pull special heritage railtours.
In the concept art kinda depicts him a BR Ivatt standard 2/3MT. My kind of name for his basis. Edit: although it’s completely unnecessary to experimentally built a tank engine at this time but I like to think he is custom built by someone who they named him after their grandfather.
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.
Arthur was one of my favorite new characters from season 7 alongside Emily and Spencer and I wished he returned in CGI, I mean they brought back the Harbour so, why not Arthur?
When will you reupload "why the Thomas 2021 reboot is doomed to fail", "The 11 Thomas episodes that you should watch", and every thoughts on video you made before making the BWBA rant?
I have one of those engines and I just wanted my mom to get it because I thought it was going to be like Arthur but luckily had the wrong back Pony truck and wrong buffers so I decided to make it my own engine named Mike he is an engine that were two glasses all the time because he could not see back on British railways where's Indonesia was going to be called Max but nevermind but I do have a dog named Max

Awwwww so sweet ❤ Great way to remember his late grandfather
I like to believe that he’s named after King Arthur in-universe.
That arthur theme song at the begging was clever as heck
I agree
I have watched the original tug's trains videos repeatedly and now I'm watching it again. These stuff are so addictive man
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
Same here and I agree.
Arthur probably didn’t come back in CGI due to his similarities to Ryan (big tank engine who Thomas initially didn’t like).
Then why did they bring back Stanley lol
I have a theory. Arthur was replaced by Ryan.
@@totallytidmouth it is weird that the Great Discovery described Stanley as being bigger than Thomas when they both are roughly the same size
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
Arthur he is just a great character I wish he was in the cgi series but no he had to be gone😢
Same here.
People: Why is arthur your favorite character?
Me: YES!
3:46 Emily: *cries in the sheds*
I love that you used the theme from the show "Arthur".
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.
Yeeeaaaahh we’ve all seen it pal
Arthur should have appeared in CGI, but I'm afraid that will never happen...
I wish he appeared during the Brenner era.
Something tells me that Ryan may have been the replacement for author.

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

Arthur looked really natural.
You're back!

Fergus would fit nicely
I have to ask, we know Paxton's coming at some point. (probably when you get another 08) so does he become the pilot after Arthur leaves?
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?

What BR stands for: British Railways.
What rail enthusiasts think it stands for: Beeching's Rail Killer.
I’m keep the number: 41243 in my take on Arthur because just like Salty and Stepney: it wouldn't make sense when the real life engine that is still around us will be a Sudrian residence.
Love your model
1:45 “In my head canon Arthur is this exact engine.”
It IS the REAL Arthur
Brilliant model
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
I think you just predicted Barry the Rescue Engine, but Maroon.
I actually think that livery would look good on Barry.
What a wonderful kind of day
I reallllyyy dig the narration over arthur theme
Ok in will admit, nice use with the Arthur theme song, because it's pretty obvious the Arthur PBS KIDS show
2:17- The pronunciation of Keighley is making me cry
In fairness that’s how it’s spelled
I think Arthur should have had more rust on him because you know salt water is *C O R R O S I V E*
I am currently making Duck! Or a 0-6-0 pannier tank out of cardboard! You did an amazing job!!
That Arthur theme at the beginning made me facepalm so hard. So damn clever!!!
Beautiful awdry models
Just a quick note, keighley is bizarrely pronounced "keethley", I dunno y us brits love a weird spelling. Love the videos, keep em coming!
Actually the paint that you put on artur is really beautiful it looks like what a 41241 would look if it was painted red i honestly dont like the tv series red paint for artur it kinda made it, look toy like.
Shame that he wasn't brought back in Full Cgi And Instead he vanished into the Void
Do you ever plan on sculpting clay faces so they can be similar to the show.
When will you do Murdoch?
From what I recall Tug isn’t a massive fan of Murdoch so I don’t know if he will make a model of him.
Wait. If Arthur was relocated to Norramby, who became Tidmouth's new pilot engine?
Maybe Paxton and Sidney?
Wait you’re telling me Arthur is a real engine and I could go to visit him!
Yes!
yay 😊

What is this comment💀
I wish Arthur appeared during the Brenner era of Thomas the tank engine and friends.
Fun Fact: This is the only Tug’s Train video NOT to feature “Sunshower - Home”
Still haven't seen those prop replicas
The fact that arthurs backstory is longer than the models creations got me fr. Not complaing tho, i like it more.
i wanna see arthur come back in all engines go
also the theme song from "Arthur" playing in the background is just perfect
That wouldn’t be a good idea cause they’d probably assassinate his character.

In my AU Arthur works with Neville on the fishing line.
0:48 help save me
Arthur is my personal favorite of the S7 Newbies. If he appeared in the CGI seasons, I think Ben Stiller would sound perfect for him.
I’d rather someone more British sounding.

This is my jam
Awesome :)
my head-cannon for station piolet at Knapford Station.
first it was Thomas then he went to his branchline then Percy took over.
then when Percy went to work at the harbor Duck took over.
then Duck left for the Little Western so Arthur took over.
then Arthur left for Harwich Phillip the box cab diesel took over as station piolet.
Phillip is still station piolet to this day.
Hey DW HEY!
Will you do Hiro next?
I would love to see Murdoch done in this style.
If you have time can you make hiro plz?
I suggest that you build replicas of Diesel,Arry,Bert and Paxton. They're designed after class 08 diesel shunters.
By realistic standards, yes, Arthur would've been Sodor's #12, and I know for a fact that in the "Unlucky AU", Emily would never a Sodor resident, and she would've pull special heritage railtours.
You should make some of the trains on misty island
NOOOOOO
I'm just noticing the music choice now🤣
Do Murdoch pls
In the concept art kinda depicts him a BR Ivatt standard 2/3MT. My kind of name for his basis.
Edit: although it’s completely unnecessary to experimentally built a tank engine at this time but I like to think he is custom built by someone who they named him after their grandfather.
Are you ever gonna do Emily?
Arthur or Arthur from pbs kids?
4:48 Wait so does he pull The Flying Kipper now?
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.
Yes Arthur!!!!
Again Donald and Douglas took turns shunting after duck left. It’s mentioned in James and the disease engine in the 3rd story crossed lines
I think what tugs means is that there was never a permanent shunter at the big station

Can you please try to make a murdoch next🙏

And also i sub and like
