It’s kind of sad that Salty and Rusty never interacted with one another despite being built by the same company

5:51 For those who don’t know, the THC acronym is associated with Marijuana, or weed

Salty is definitely my favorite Diesel on Sodor. You did a great job, especially with the weathering. I love how in your personal AU, the engines aren't alive, but workers swear they can hear Salty singing anyway. It's exactly the kind of spooky tale he would tell.

I love seeing these “How I built” episodes 🍷🗿

Salty was one of my favourite diesel engines as a child and he still is to this day.

1:13 I wonder if Salty had brothers and sisters? Would love to see a story where we see them during their working life.

Salty is another favorite character of mine as well as my favorite diesel character. I really love the weathering detail you gave to this custom RWS model of his real counterpart. I also had the same headcanon idea of his arrival in 1973 (around the time of events of S6).

Every time someone mentions Heljan, I cry, because I REALLY want a Heljan Co-Bo to make Bo-Co. and they were the only ones who made a OO/HO model worthy for Bo-Co. Heljan, plz bring back the Co-Bos.

Toby and Salty were too precious but I just love how Salty is being a Pirate at the docks telling stories about Pirates looking for treasures and more! P.s. I'll be waiting for the Scottish Twins :'))

"Weh Do Et fur SCO'LAND!" *Donald and Douglas theme intensifies*

Salty, as always, looks fantastic. If you ever plan to make a character like Rosie, it could get interesting. The 07s replaced the US dock tanks in real life,and she could potentially have some one-sided beef with him for replacing her and her siblings at Southampton.

Salty Is Amazing! He Fits In The Railway Series Very Well.

Salty’s my favourite non-Awdry character

This is one of my favourite model videos, I enjoyed your head canon for Salty.

Haha love this. I grew up with the original TtTE series, I didn't realise it was watched anywhere outside the UK. Nice work recreating Salty and crafting your lore. However, I'd probably better not mention Tidmouth Harbour Authority... 🤫

Wow. This was an amazing video on salty. Good job tug.

I really like the depiction of salty's trial at the quarry.

Really nice work on the weathering. Industrial gear tends to be hard-ridden, and something being used on a dockyard especially would be seeing a lot of opportunities to accumulate grime with very little downtime. It creates an interesting contrast to have all that mud and oil on top of a bright and colorful paintscheme.

Salty is really realistic looking.

Salty has to be one of my favorite characters ever this is so cool

Something interesting is that Heljan have actually made a model of No. 2991 in the light green livery of Eastleigh Works, where, as we know, the diesel is based today

My favorite thing to do with models is to weather them, the only stuff I don't touch is steam locomotives, I do a fictional heritage railroad that shows a lot of love and care to the steam locomotives, but overlook all the diesel traction that calls the road home, so they range from absolutely filthy to having a bit of grime and soot in the hard to reach areas.

This video introduced me to this model and when I saw the lights I knew I just had to get it for Christmas! Probably my best model although the couplings were impossible to fit in. I had to sand a slightly smaller set of couplings and jam it in

Happy to report that the real Salty now wears its 2991 number again and has just had a full repaint

Looks very nice my friend. U did a very good job. I love ur trains

Salty is definitely my favorite diesel engine in the franchise. I like the idea of Salty being assigned in Tidmouth Harbor rather than Brendem in the show to make it different for once!

Great work!

Random Person visiting the engine irl: “Hi Salty!” 07007: “Who‘s Salty?” **Shunting a small train**

another great model!

Mavis is the OG diesel for me, but I do love Salty thanks to living in his home town, (city,) and I own a Heljan 07 for creating him myself. Sadly though, I recently purchased a heljan 165DE to expand my Ruston collection and it was a pile of garbage. It got returned and I had to have a refund as there were issues with every other model that the shop had in stock. For that reason, I'm very wary of touching anything else that Heljan touches. Now I just need to wait for Rapido to get on and release their model of the original class 04 with cow catchers and skirts

awsome job tug!

Salty is one of the greats on your collection

*"Yo, ho, ho and a bucket of prawns, the tiller spins...."*

That is our treasure, The Custom RWS Salty

*Me realizing that Spencer is the maverick* “Respect”

2:02 I headcanon that the little blue tank engine that taunted James in _Troublesome Trucks_ is the Tidmouth Harbor engine. (This role was taken by Thomas in the TV show.) Actually, he’s one of them. Because Tidmouth is so big and busy, it has two engines working on it: the little blue tank engine from the book, and the dark green tank engine from the pop-up book version, _James the Red Engine and the Troublesome Trucks._ I haven’t thought of a name for the blue one, but due to the resemblance between them I’ve stolen the name Peckett from Victor Tanzig for the dark green one. I can’t help it. I’m terrible at coming up with new names and the similarities between the two are so great that my brain refuses to disassociate the two. My headcanon for the harbor at Brendam is that originally it was serviced by whichever of the two Manning Wardle ‘Q’ Class engines owned by the Wellsworth & Suddery Railway happened to be down there at the moment. These two, named William and Charles, were sent away for some serious upgrades when the NWR expanded Brendam Docks, which is why Salty was purchased. Years later, they would return to Sodor, having been converted into (comparatively) newer Manning Wardle ‘L’ Class engines.

If you don't mind me asking, are you planning on making Rosie, Paxton, Sidney, Phillip, or any other small tank engine/diesel engine? The only reason I ask is because if Salty was really bought specifically for the dock work at tidmouth, then who will handle shunting coaches around tidmouth Station?

* How _are_ Donald and Douglas coming along now? It's been ages since we had any sort of update on their models. . .

the THB suits him well, i did the same for my reboot Carly for my series

That part with the singing scared me

You do know this video in on unlisted right tug

I like how the couplings have movment

You should make some more THB locos. Maybe a kerr stuart victory.

Just thought it was very good at 2:05 the photo of a 040 is from my hometown of Swansea, wales.

Wouldn't it be cool if the UK made every one of the engines from the show and then run them all throughout the country.

Tug your back

I missed the lore that you put on Salty, specially Salty singing.

If I were to make a Salty custom I'd have him be a Class 14, conveniently Heljan does one in red (D9523) but annoyingly Heljan 14s are rare as hens teeth at the moment

I don't think a completely clean salty is not too bad

I was a diesel lover over this show growing up. I liked how Salty was a cool diesel that didn't hate steamies

Hear me out Salty Voiced by Clancy Brown Doing his Mr Krabs voice

5:50 😅😅😂😂😊😊

Do boco next

W model

THB could also stand for the TECHNICAL HARBOUR of BRENDAM if anyone still wants Salty to work at Brendam

8:27 Donald and Douglas are coming

so salty the 2991 engine is still alive (I got to find him)

She’s my mom’s favourite character

Does Murdoch fit into the RWS lore seamlessly?

Request: You should do Rosie (Red) next.

6:35 could I do the same but with fake blood instead of fake oil? Blood coming out of an engine could be interpreted as a bad omen.

8:36 I prefer this version of Salty’s theme

7:49 why do you have lner painted on a window?

Hey Mr tug sir can you plz do Molly Murdock or Paxton??😮

are you sure that brendam docks is called tidmouth?

Will you be doing flora?

Was the issue with THC because of Thicc or tetrahydrocannabinol, the main intoxicant in marijuana?

Don’t take me away from the sea bois

Can you make a timeline of your au

What does THC acronym mean?

Please build fergus and Murdoch

When are you gonna ever finish and showcase Donald and Douglas

When will you add Emily and Murdoch and harvey to the collection?

Bro wheres more trains!😔😔

Wait didnt you do this video before

*AHOY BILL AND BEN*

Can you add some removable faces on your Thomas models?

Idk why but, the side rods keep bothering me dont get me wrong it looks good but something about the side rods being red is kinda you know.

Are these models HO scale?

Wait is Salty and Rusty cousins since they were built by the same guys?

When will you add Emily and Murdoch to the collection?

I'm surprised you didn't make Murdoch he and the other late classic season newbies could pass as the reverend coming up with new characters but not writing the books gave the engines to Britt Alcroft

We need toby

is Bill and ben coming?

Min Min Amiibo 2022 April 29 2022

I never understood... Why would THC turn heads?

Porter?

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?

The same place Southampton docks what Titanic was launched maiden voyage in 1912

When will you be showing off the other models you never got to do videos on

SCOTLAND FOREVAHR

This is my favourite but of course I am a small diesel fan. Larger diesels aren’t the best imo. Apart from the class 66

It's kind of sad that I can't get to train for the cheap price. They're way too ethe diesels too

people could of Mistaken THC for Tetrahydrocannabinol , *or THICC-*

This inspired me to make Tidmouth harbour board wooden railway customs I’m currently working on Rosie to go along with salty

Can you release the layout video
