    When I watched Bulgy as a kid, I felt sorry for Bulgy with his sad expression as he shouted (in Michael Angelis's narration): "Stop! It might fall on me!" I didn't cry at the end at seeing him as a hen house, but I just felt some sympathy for him and felt like he needed a second chance to prove himself after his misbehaviour

      I used to be scared of Bulgy wincing in pain as he begs to Duck to stop crossing the bridge he was stuck underneath as a kid.
      Same with "James goes buzz buzz" as James screams in pain as the bee stings his nose.

      @@jeremiahsisaias8677 Speaking of James Goes Buzz Buzz, I felt sorry for James as he reacts to his stung nose. But I did like his nose colour up until the end, even as he smiled after the vicar made fun of him, I had wondered if his nose was going to stay red forever, that I refused to believe.

      @@WarmBreezeStudiosI wonder how James' nose stopped swelling after that.
      Another example of child me used to being scared of was in "Bullseyes" and "Henry and the elephant" because I was afraid that Champion was going to charge at Daisy in fast stop motion and Henry's shocked face right before he goes into the tunnel and just like with Daisy I was afraid that the elephant was going to charge at Henry in fast stop motion.
      I wonder if the engine's have any effects on their skin when being attacked by insects and animals.
      1 example is in Narrow Guage's horror story "The creature of Skarloey" where at the end Rusty comes home with Sir Handel covered in huge scratch marks.

    Bulgy's fate looks like a fate worst than death compared to the real-life inspiration.

    I Like how, A lot of the rws stories are based on real events. (In Some way.)
    Also I can't believe Bulgy was a real event, that happened.
    And poor bus.

    To think, Bulgy could have been scrapped instead of being a Hen House.

    in my head Cannon bulgy would still be used as a hen house until 1969 when the farmer decided to build a new hen House for his hens and decided to send bulgy away for scrap and a few weeks later scrap merchants came and bulgy to The scrap yard where he was scrapped, when duck, Oliver and the auto coaches heard about what happened to bulgy, they said serves him right for telling Whoppers so he can steal our passengers!

    I just realized years later that Bulgy is a bit of a supremacist. It’s a very subtle motif/theme on the show, but every once in awhile, you get engine characters that have such high regard for their own class model of engine, that they believe they are superior to everyone else. Take Bulgy for instance: in the episode/story when we meet him, he grumbles about the passengers and the railway and expresses a desire to see it ripped up. Duck is disgusted and tells him that their friend Bertie the bus often teases the tank engines about the railway. However, he likes the railway and would never want to see it ripped up. Bulgy scoffs at this and calls Bertie a lightweight and somewhat of a disgrace to the other buses. Bertie is the more respectable one in this case because he has his disagreements with the engines, but he is at least kind and tolerant. Bulgy is just a bully. TTTE always had a way of getting their good messages across by weaving the morals into good stories and not resorting to lecturing kids. No wonder this show was so great 🙌
