This is a rough drawing of Zip from the eighties model-based British kid's show TUGS. TUGS ran for only one season and contained thirteen episodes, because most of the cast was pulled by Britt Alcroft to work on her Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends series. TUGS footage was later redubed and horribly cut up into the US TV series Salty's Lighthouse. Some of the models can be seen on the long-running Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends TV show.
