The series was set around a huge construction site, and we rarely see then come out of it. There were no humans, as this would be awkward with the puppet-like vehicles. The site consists of factories, a battery charge bay, a park, a Dock, a few Sheds, a Tall Bridge, a Scrapyard, a Mountain, a Forest, and many more.

The Models

  • The vehicle models are used by live-action animatronic puppet models. This is the first time Jim Henson have used these, as these type of puppets were restricted to movies like Babe and Labyrinth.
