Synopsis

Koko, Brewster and Wilson are three young, adventurous trainee "chuggers", learning about working on the railway in the town of Chuggington, with the help of the railway controller, Vee, the older engines, and their human friends.

The creative core behind Chuggington is Sarah Ball, a producer and director who worked on Bob the Builder, and Don Toht, who designed the characters and sets.

Three Chuggington specials were commissioned for release on DVD from 2013 onwards.

On 29 November 2017, Fuji Television took over the Japanese rights to the show (including production, distribution and licensing) in Japan from Ludorum.

On 10 December 2018, Herschend Entertainment Studios acquired the rights to the series.

The first series of 52 episodes was sold to broadcasters including the BBC, ABC (Australia), TF1 (France), â£Super RTL (Germany), and Fuji TV (Japan) in a deal announced in February 2008.

A second series of 26 episodes was purchased by the BBC and many other broadcasters throughout the world.
