Bulstrode (AEG)/Behind the Scenes

Background Information
Bulstrode is a fictional barge created by Christopher Awdry.

He first appeared in the first series episode Chasing Rainbows, which first aired in 2021.

2D animated rigs
Bulstrode in All Engines Go uses a series of complicated 2D rigs created by Nelvana Studio. These rigs are made up of different assets, which can be stretched, squashed and posed to create the desired movements and poses. Bulstrode's movements are handled by an animation team, with a posing team to create specific poses as required for certain shots.

Bulstrode's 2D design has undergone a few changes from the design used in the original series:
 * He now has brown irises.
 * His chimney has become much larger.
 * He has drastically increased in size.
 * The name on his hull has been removed.
 * While it is unknown the exact reason for this change, it is most likely so that Bulstrode's English name will not appear in other dubs.
 * His deck is the same color as his wheelhouse.
 * He no longer has his cargo hold.
 * He gained a new horn which is a lower pitched version of a specific stock sound effect.
