My headcanon connection T&F to Tugs is that after 'Munitions', Big Mickey was fished out and basically sold as scrap, but ultimately ended up being repaired and put to work at Brendam Docks
That is ALMOST what happened to him in my headcanon, but he was still at the bottom until a ship owned by Sodor found him in the water then was brought to Sodor
I think that’s one of the reasons they didn’t have it, it may be more adult then Thomas, but having a character with a face die on screen might have been a bit much for kids.
I love Big Mickey! He's become quite the icon for connecting Thomas and TUGS! His formal reintroduction into the Thomas series on Season 21 was the best moment of Season 21, no question about it!
Such a pity that his original Tugs prop was completely shattered while being shipped to Toronto for his planned appearance in TATMR, and it had to be completely rebuilt from scratch, who no original Tugs parts
I just love the fact they made big mickey into a character in the CGI series instead of a background prop, it makes him so much more interesting. I hope he has a episode dedicated to him. Anyone else agree?
He was never supposed to have an eye mech, his face was in the same style as Lord Stinker and Jack the Grappler with stationary eyes. Why they ditched the face is still a mystery, likely along with the Fultan Ferry, Scuttlebutt Pete, etc. And like them, he had fake front windows added during the later parts of tugs which he kept into Thomas. Also things about the model I was were highlighted are some of the pre-existing details used to build him. For example, I'm pretty sure his crane arm was a mixture of a trestle bridge and an overhead station walkway. There's also a Marklin steam engine cylinder right above his head on the right side which is really odd.
I like to think that, somewhere in the Model Series and CGI Canon, Bigg City Port is located somewhere near Sodor, and when there was the munitions accident, Big Mickey did actually somewhat die and was left driving in the ocean for years when he was found and taken to the docks to be restored. I want to think that the deleted scene of Ghosts is canon and Big Mickey's face is heavily damaged, thus when he got restored, they made him a facial operation, made it a bit small and restore it the best they could, and the reason why he spent 35 years without saying a word is because he still has PTSD from that accident.
aye, never knew tugs existed until trainboy first did a vid on it however ive always been a train person, i enjoy the unboxings and reviews of engines as well as these history vids of the various models
Heya TrainBoy! I doubt you will ever see this, let alone even read this, but regardless, I wanted to say thank you. I wanted to tell you that you've helped me join this amazing hobby and helped me truly join this sometimes chaotic fandom. After my Grandpa passed away just days before Christmas, I looked to modeling to help me feel better, and your videos helped me out. I just wanted to let you know that you're the reason that I've started model seriously, and I can only hope to develop the same skills you have! Thank you so much for helping me out of the darkness and into the brighter future! Will's Corner
@@TheNamelessFoxXD i just have a fnaf "oc" 🤷♂️ lol i mean its was created for a pocket code fangame and not a oc but it becomes my channel profile pic character
This kinda makes me want to see you do some multi model videos of some of the building props and how they were reused on certain sets...like how the sheds was reused as crovans gate works in season 4
Either this was already in the works, or you REALLY liked my suggestion. Or maybe it's just you also like TUGS, and needed a segway. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more TUGS characters.
Actually his first appearance was in high tide because all the episodes of tugs were aired out of order people were saying that he died in munitions and came back in high tide but High tide actually comes before munitions because in munitions, they mention the collapse of the bridge and the mention of the steel contract
Still would be cool if big Mikey was voiced by David horwitz (I may have misspelt the name but he played invader zim) because he would sound like the og tugs voice
How about butch or however you spell his name. He didn’t have a face in the older version of Thomas and friends but in the CGI version he does. But his name did get mentioned in the older versions
Oh we need to focus on how the model was built maybe could you do more star tugs episodes due to there been a lot of recent information or maybe a Krakatoa episode!
major probs to you for making this work no joke seriously i play detective games and study old trail and mystery cases/investigate for fun and even i was impressed
Ok here is an idea, you should do a video on the history and the making of the model sets for the show as I don't think may people know lots about that. I don't even know if it is one big layout or lots of little location. I think it would be a good vid
You should make videos talking about the history of Henrietta, Harold, Salty, Harvey, Arthur, Derek, Rocky, Toad, Elizabeth, Bulgy, Caroline, Butch, Fearless Freddie, the breakdown train, and the rest of the members from Jack And The Pack and their models. I definitely think that all of these would be very interesting to talk about.
My head cannon is years after his sinking, big Mickey was put back in bigg city port and worked there until it closed and he was shipped in 3 pieces on a ship to sodor and worked there long after that up until season 24
All for one and one for all! Hooks connect. Narrator: It took workmen a long time to untangle the cranes hooks, which cause confusion and delay at the docks.
Amazing history on big Mickey and also there are things that you made a little mistakes here and there like big Mickey didn't get a face and season 24 actually in season 21 new crane on the dock those are the only mistakes that I could find but overall pretty good history on big Mickey's model and an interesting thing is that big Mickey was from renamed big Basel in Salty's lighthouse and I don't know Tugs that much but I do remember seeing a few bits here in there where big Mickey falls into the ocean.
Since we're on the topic of the docks how about a video about the big cruise ship that brought vacationers to sodor or Salty the dock yard diesel, you haven't done a episode with him yet.
Wasn't it Season 21 that Big Mickey got his first (and only) speaking role in Thomas? Season 22 - 24 was the BWBA, which if I remember correctly he didn't say anything at all again.
Like Cranky, Big Mickey will always be here to stay too. But is now an amber yellow colour in All Engines Go. But considering that he had a megaphone like all the other faceless Tugs characters, I’m guessing Big Mickey’s voice came from his operator.
even though cgi thomas is for kids, I really wish they made his old face rather than a small truck looking face the REAL big mickey died a hero to save many tugboats's lives nothing can change the big mickey we saw in TUGS but it was nice to see him again in thomas
Not sure where I heard this but I heard that Thomas and friends when big Mickey's face was revealed they didn't quite have the right to use it. So chances are they likely are expecting a lawsuit sooner or later from it.

My headcanon connection T&F to Tugs is that after 'Munitions', Big Mickey was fished out and basically sold as scrap, but ultimately ended up being repaired and put to work at Brendam Docks
Wow that makes a ton of sense
I like that, I’ll adopt it
That is ALMOST what happened to him in my headcanon, but he was still at the bottom until a ship owned by Sodor found him in the water then was brought to Sodor
that's definitely something sir topham hatt would do
But that'd make the 15 minute version canon over the 20 or 30....
I adore Big Mickey, and his bravery in Munitions. Seeing him, Cranky, and Carly together as "the three musketeers" of the docks is so cool.
Correction: he actually gained his face in Season 21's New Crane On The Dock and that's also the episode where he spoke for the first time in Thomas.
I'm gonna be honest, I think having his face intact would make his death (depending on the version you're watching) more impactful.
I think that’s one of the reasons they didn’t have it, it may be more adult then Thomas, but having a character with a face die on screen might have been a bit much for kids.
A history of the Reverend W. Awdry’s models would be great.
There’s a channel that has that covered.
Which one?
Imagine the complete story of Albert, Tim, Jim, And Jennings, the other MSR engines
@@LittleNoddyLemmyVideos done and done by someone else
I think there is a video, possibly more, on the Talyllyn Railway's channel covering the Rev. Awdry's models and model railways
Big Mickey is like a magician, always popping up here, there, and everywhere.
0:12 “WHAT?”
Me that day, the day that very episode aired: *THE BROUGHT BACK BOCK MICKIE! TUGS ISNT DEAD!*
Big Mickey: from Bigg City to Sodor, with love
Imagine how crazy it would've been if they used the same design on his tugs face for his CGI face
Lol
0:11 - "What?" Big Mickey says.
These videos are amazing! Perfectly describe the backstories of famous Thomas characters.
I love Big Mickey! He's become quite the icon for connecting Thomas and TUGS! His formal reintroduction into the Thomas series on Season 21 was the best moment of Season 21, no question about it!
Big Mickey just saying "What?" as his first word after the intense build up in the soundtrack for his face is all the comedy I needed in the intro.
Such a pity that his original Tugs prop was completely shattered while being shipped to Toronto for his planned appearance in TATMR, and it had to be completely rebuilt from scratch, who no original Tugs parts

I've always loved that the Canon for him not speaking was because Cranky never talked to him.
I wonder what other concept faces for other Thomas and Tugs characters look like.
Or if any concept models exist past photos or sketches.
Have you ever seen the original face for Jeremy the Jet Place? Fucking terrifying!
@@CG20585 Well now I want to.
Since we are at the docks, maybe you should talk about Salty next.
I never would’ve guessed that Big Mickey would be given a face and voice in Thomas and friends at least
Tugs fans seeing big Mickey have sentience in CGI after he dies in tugs:
OAH SHIIT! A GHOST!
Can you do the Express coaches next? I hate to be a bagger, but I find them satisfying.
big mickey: WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!?
*ahh yes the big mickey incedent where brendam dook had a fire and he fell into the oil infested water*
1:12 It was actually Season 21 where Big Mickey first spoke in TTTE (New Crane on the Dock
)
Also, why is most of the first half (0:13-0:45) muted?
YES, Finally, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this episode. I've always wanted to see the history of Big Mickey.
His face reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson

BIG MICKEY!!!!! My favorite character from Thomas and TUGS!
the fact that big mickey appears in thomas means that the crossover is canon and that big mickey is from america
things that everyone already knows

YES thanks for taking my advice!! (I commented on the Cranky video about this but I didn't know if there was a pol or not)
Wow a character that appeared in both TUGS and Thomas & Friends!
In the Ten Cents model video, you didn't mention his 2d animation model from the intro of Sally's Lighthouse.
This kinda makes me want to see you do some multi model videos of some of the building props and how they were reused on certain sets...like how the sheds was reused as crovans gate works in season 4

Yeah, they turned him from a generic background prop to a interesting new character in the CGI series
Still would be cool if big Mikey was voiced by David horwitz (I may have misspelt the name but he played invader zim) because he would sound like the og tugs voice
Isn’t his first speaking role in Thomas & Friends in the season 21 episode “New crane on the dock”?

How about butch or however you spell his name. He didn’t have a face in the older version of Thomas and friends but in the CGI version he does. But his name did get mentioned in the older versions
please make a history video on arthur trainboy i believe it would be interesting to learn more about him
Tugs and Thomas are now linked
Oh we need to focus on how the model was built maybe could you do more star tugs episodes due to there been a lot of recent information or maybe a Krakatoa episode!

He ain't doing alladat my guy 😟
I remain myself honest and well-respected and nice review of Big Mickey
My head cannon is years after his sinking, big Mickey was put back in bigg city port and worked there until it closed and he was shipped in 3 pieces on a ship to sodor and worked there long after that up until season 24
TUGS takes place on US how does a huge crane get transported from America to a small island in the united kingdom
BIG MICKEY!
All for one and one for all!
Hooks connect.
Narrator: It took workmen a long time to untangle the cranes hooks, which cause confusion and delay at the docks.
Amazing history on big Mickey and also there are things that you made a little mistakes here and there like big Mickey didn't get a face and season 24 actually in season 21 new crane on the dock those are the only mistakes that I could find but overall pretty good history on big Mickey's model and an interesting thing is that big Mickey was from renamed big Basel in Salty's lighthouse and I don't know Tugs that much but I do remember seeing a few bits here in there where big Mickey falls into the ocean.

I really need to watch the thomas show through properly again. Last time I tried, I only got to season 9...
Wasn't it Season 21 that Big Mickey got his first (and only) speaking role in Thomas? Season 22 - 24 was the BWBA, which if I remember correctly he didn't say anything at all again.
what type of crane is that?
Big Mickeys first speaking episode was New Crane on the Dock in Season 21. Not season 24 and whatever episode you’re referring to.
Like Cranky, Big Mickey will always be here to stay too. But is now an amber yellow colour in All Engines Go.
But considering that he had a megaphone like all the other faceless Tugs characters, I’m guessing Big Mickey’s voice came from his operator.
Taking into account the modifications made to the model in Thomas & Friends, I'd say Big Mickey🏗️ Became a 🆕 and improved version of Himself
4:11 Cranky breaking the 4th wall easily
Sorry I'm late, but as someone who frequently requested Big Mickey, I greatly appreciate this.
What about during cranky bugs from beginning to the storm scene
My guy, Big Mickey's CGI appearance was Season 21. Something as epic as that was to advanced for Season 24. lol
even though cgi thomas is for kids, I really wish they made his old face rather than a small truck looking face
the REAL big mickey died a hero to save many tugboats's lives
nothing can change the big mickey we saw in TUGS
but it was nice to see him again in thomas
1:14 no season 21 not season 24
Big Mickey shouldve been featured in the following ways.
1. Meeting Bulstrode and Percy
2. Apologising to Edward
3. Meeting Gator
This is how to get the best of both worlds
also if your gonna do a character profile do one on smudger story and lore wise if you need a researcher for this im happy to help
Not sure where I heard this but I heard that Thomas and friends when big Mickey's face was revealed they didn't quite have the right to use it. So chances are they likely are expecting a lawsuit sooner or later from it.
Can you do a character(s) episode About the miniature engines ?
Y does the music along with the feat. Character reminds me of big smoke from the gta series
4:32 propably traumatised after falling and exploding lol
I wonder does tugs and Thomas take place in the same universe
Actually his first speaking roll is new crane on the dock season 21
There we go, what was the inspiration?
you said he 1st spoke in thomas' anamle friends but he 1st spoke in new crean on the docks minus tugs
I thought his first speaking role was in new crane on the dock
Actually Munitions came after High tide knowing that it was referencing in Munitions.
I don’t watch tugs that much but I love Big Mickey
What is the music in the start of the video called
big mickey's perspex model tugs 1989-season 12 2008
*B I G* M I C K E Y!!!
I love him!!! He’s awesome!! 😎
We didn't even see big Mickey in any of the sets in Thomas and the magic railroad.
Correction: Big Mickey got a face in "New Crane on the Dock" in Season 21
What if big Mickey doesn’t talk that much because of what happened in munitions. And finally he opened up after the fear of what happened prior
This is a surprise and its good.
Yay, my request was answered 😊
I'd love to see the history of Neville!
I'd love to see the Troublesome Trucks
Big Mickey Is a Big Chad. You need make one of him!
