Stack No. 4 - Zug
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zug is a fictional character who appeared in the 1989 television series TUGS, created by the producers of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.
Zug is Captain Zero's fourth tug, a 'harbour switcher' who is used for a wide variety of tasks around Bigg City Port. Zug's capabilities range from the towing of barges to liner docking operations. Like the rest of the Z-Stacks, Zug is based on the tugs of the Moran fleet from the 1920's.
Zug is a scheming and vindictive tug, he mainly works with Zip and is the brains of the operation, whereas Zip tends to be rather thick! Zug is obviously scared of the main Z-Stack Zorran and has a tedency to be somewhat nervous and jittery around him. Zug and Zip are the Z-Stack equvilents of Ten Cents and Sunshine, in that they are the smaller tugs of the fleet, who work together, just like them and are often, plotting against them.
Zug has a major roles in most episodes, and a majority of stories focus on him as a major character in some way, usually concerning Zip!
