Gustavo/Behind the Scenes

Television series
Gustavo is a fictional electric locomotive created by Davey Moore and Ian McCue.

In 2019, Gustavo made his debut in the episode, The Other Big Engine.

Gustavo is voiced by Francisco Labbe (UK/US) in the CGI series in both sides of the Atlantic, respectively.

Gustavo is based on the Little Joe, a class of 4-8-8-4 electric engines.

CGI model
In 2009, the series introduced Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. Gustavo was created from scratch in CGI by Jam Filled Toronto for the twenty-third series. The model was "hand sculpted" in Maya, a 3D animation and modelling software.
