Winston/Behind the Scenes

Television Series
Winston is a fictional inspection car created by Sharon Miller. He was one of the final characters created by Sharon Miller before her stepping down as head writer and also one of the last characters to be introduced in the Nitrogen Studios era.

In 2012, Winston made his debut in the special, Blue Mountain Mystery.

Winston is voiced by Matt Wilkinson (UK/US) in the CGI version of the series on both sides of the Atlantic, respectively.

Winston is based on a Type 4B two-seat Wickham Trolley.

CGI model
In 2009, the series introduced Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. Winston was created from scratch in CGI by Nitrogen Studios in 2010 for production of the 2012 special Blue Mountain Mystery. His model was "hand-sculpted" in Maya, a 3D animation and modelling software.

According to Greg Tiernan, the CGI models are subjected to many rounds of review before they are submitted to HiT Entertainment for final input and approval.
