S.S. Vienna / S.S Roxstar / Princess Alice / the Duchess

thingiverse

This is a model of the S.S. Vienna / S.S. Roxstar (more information below). It stands approximately 28 cm tall, so ensure your printer bed can accommodate it comfortably. The cylinders on the front and rear are designed for play purposes. To connect the two models together, tie a string through the cylinder of one model and then tie the other end through the corresponding cylinder of the other model. For instance, thread a string through the back cylinder of the S.S. Vienna / Roxstar and secure it to the front cylinder of another model, such as the Take n Play raft (printed at around 50% infill, this will make it buoyant). The S.S. Vienna is an ocean cruise liner renowned for its white and gold color scheme. Whenever it arrives in Bigg City Port, the Star Tugs and Z-Stacks are responsible for providing it with supplies and loading/unloading cargo from the ship. Hercules typically has to bring it into port. During winter when Bigg City Port is out of commission, the tugs have to supply her while she's at sea. Hercules must guide it as far out as Lillie Lightship. After TUGS production ceased, S.S. Vienna and its model were transitioned to the set of Thomas & Friends, the sister show of TUGS. It made its first appearance in a 3rd season episode titled "Thomas, Percy and the Dragon." Initially, it retained its original livery in early episodes of the 3rd season. Later in that season, its funnels were repainted red. Following the 3rd season, S.S. Vienna was renamed to S.S. Roxstar, with its hull painted black and funnels bearing a black-and-white design. It made its first appearance in this form in a 4th season episode called "Henry and the Elephant." S.S. Vienna, Princess Alice, and the Duchess share the same model. Following TUGS' production cancellation, the S.S. Vienna model (in its original form) was utilized on Thomas & Friends, the sister show of TUGS. Additionally, these three ocean liners have identical horn sounds. When the show transitioned to CGI animation in 2009, S.S. Roxstar's model continued making appearances, with only a change being that its name is no longer painted on it.
