[Trainz 2019] TUGS High Tide Remake (Please Read Desc)

This is my first take on remaking a scene from a TUGS episode: High Tide, where Top Hat and Lord Stinker saves both the mail train, and the goods train. Although, there is a bit of a problem. Since I don't have all the TUGS assets for Trainz, particularly Frank & Eddie, the loaded barges, etc. some shots aren't exactly accurate compared to what's seen in the episode.

Also, Top Hat's head doesn't move, nor do his eyes for that matter. It doesn't even have exchangeable faces, so I'm pretty much stuck with what I've got for this video until the foreseeable future.

Since I don't have the Frank & Eddie assets, I had to make do with a rail barge which I had downloaded from the DLS, and I also added a couple of small garage buildings to give the illusion that they're Frank & Eddie's heads. I have never made any kit bashing whatsoever for this particular video, nor do I have the proper experience on how to do so.

For the trains, I was going to use a Western Pacific locomotive since the railroad logo was spotted in the first episode: Sunshine, but I decided instead to use a couple of Union Pacific locomotives because why not. For the Mail Train, aka Puffa, I have used the UP S-5 locomotive, and some Harriman Coaches. For the Goods Train, aka Little Owl, I have used the S-6, also from Trainz Forge. The rolling stock however, most of it I got from the DLS, while the caboose is from Trainz Forge. The route is a work in progress "Kirby River Shortline," and the route is going through several changes at the moment.

If anyone reads this, and if they know what I'm going through, thank you for understanding.

Edit: As of October 2023: I now have Trainz 2022, and therefore this video will be the legit last and final remake video I’ll ever make using TRS19, because I wasn’t able to log into the game anymore. I had no choice but to create a new account and therefore start from scratch. That is, start on the downtown canal bit from scratch, since I wasn’t able to save that part of the route. On the bright side, not all of the route is lost, since I have it backed up and yet I’m still working on that one. It may look different, but it’s the same route, but I’m not gonna release it yet.

Edit 2025: I now have Trainz 2019 again! And this time, it will stay.
