THAT WOULD BE PRETTY FIRE!

[@thewarpcore2891]

[@trainfan32]

A few points i'd like to make: 1. The shunting yard cant be behind knaford, Because in helping hiro, thomas and hiro go along the country side to get to knaford, as thomas said he was going, to far of a distance for the map 2. We actually do see the east junction for the Ulfsted cassle branch line in "Bill or ben" Where bill and been see connor comming from the cassle 3. The tunnle and hiro's hideout have to be MUCH closser to the junction, as in HOTR, we see thomas going along the abandoned track much sooner. 4. I like to believe thier's a loop at callen castle 5. Their HAS to be a ballast mine around arlesdale, as that's the main puroue of the railway

[@levidarling5107]

I wonder if the shunting yard you are talking about is actually Vicarstown, but they reused knapford for budget purposes. Just my opinion. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933]

6:19 My best possible reasoning for adding rails to this road bridge (Adding a bit of AU to fill in some story.) is it's a new line that goes directly into Wellsworth town center. At 6:28, using the curve of the main line as a starting off point, at some point off-screen, a single track line splits off from the main line and loops onto the bridge & then enters the town center on a tramway. There's a small depot for an automobile dealership, a bay platform for the hospital, and a main station not far from the town square. So a new character (Introduced in Season 21 alongside Rebecca) named McGregor (Based on a Highland Railway P Class 4-4-0 tank engine, nicknamed 'Yankee Tank'. ) was brought on to help running the new line, staying with Edward at the sheds at Wellsworth.

[@liladoodle]

I'd also like to think that a new character would've been introduced to be the new banking engine for Gordon's Hill. Clive (Based on the LNER Thompson Q1 0-8-0 tank engine) is the type of engine that takes no nonsense from anyone, even the big engines like Gordon.

Something you misunderstood about the "race" scene in the Hero of The Rails is that it's not a race at all. When Spencer challenges Thomas he says "We'll each pull a heavy load and see who can pull it for longer" it's a stamina competition so they likely took different tracks just because. There's likely little-to-no difference the different routes would make, in fact on paper Thomas should have the advantage since Spencer had to go over Gordon's Hill which is arguably steeper and taller than the hill that made Thomas lose control.

[@sulaimaanazoor]

I love how you explain the whole map for the CGI series of Thomas the Tank Engine from Season 13 to 24. From watching the video their is a lot of stations and towns that is used in the CGI series so I am going to see what railway lines are used in the series and what stations they go to. 1) The Main Line calls at Tidmouth, Knapford, Crosby, Wellsworth, Maron, Cronk, Kellsthorpe Road, Crovan's Gate, Vicarstown and Barrow. 2) The Little Western Line calls at Tidmouth, Bluff's Cove, Arlesburgh West, Arlesburgh Harbour and Harwick. It is run by Duck and Oliver. The other engines that work on the line are Ryan and Daisy. 3) Thomas' Branch Line calls at Knapford Beach, Dryaw, Elsbridge, Maithwaite, Trotter Farm, McColl Farm, Ffarquhar and Arlesdale End. At the end of the line their is a quarry and a walking bridge. The line is run by Thomas. The engines that work on the line are Toby, Percy, Mavis, Arry and Bert. 4) Edward's Branch Line calls at Boxford Halt, Suddery, Sodor Animal Park Halt and Brendam. Within Edward's Line their is Reg's Scrapyard and Whiff's Waste Dump. At the end of the line their is Brendam Dock and the China Clay works. The line is run by Edward. The other engines that work on the line are Marion, Timothy, Bill, Ben, Porter, Salty and Phillip. 5) The Search & Rescue Branch Line calls at Wellsworth and Sodor Search & Rescue Centre. The line is run by Belle, Flynn, Rocky and Pat. It also links with Misty Island. 6) The Ulfstead Branch Line calls at Wellsworth and Ulfstead Castle Estate. The line is run by Connor and Catlin. The other engines that work on the line are Millie, Stephen, Glynn and Luke. At the end of the line their is a dinosaur park and a slate quarry. 7) The Callan Castle Branch Line calls at Maron, Kirk Machan and Callan Castle. Within Callan's Line their is an old quarry where Hiro was left. Their is also the Blue Mountain Quarry. The line is managed by Donald and Douglas. 8) Mr Percival handles the Cludee Fell line which starts at Kirk Machan and only goes to Cludee Fell. 9) The Skarloey Railway calls at Crovan's Gate, the Engine Depot, Cros-ny-Cuirn, Glennock, Rheneas, Daisy Halt and Skarloey. At the end of the line their is the Blue Mountain Quarry. It also connects with Ulfstead Castle. 10) The Arlesdale Railway calls at Arlesburgh West and Arlesdale. That is all the railway lines and stations that are used in the CGI series. It is a shame that lot of the railway lines from the books weren't used in the CGI series and I wonder why Great Waterton wasn't used in the series too.

[@kj.themoviedestroyer.810]

6:19 - 6:31 I've got an idea for that bridge, maybe that bridge is another entrance to Edward's BranchLine. I got the idea from a guy on deviantart who did a revised version of your cgi map by changing and adding a few things, he said that maybe the bridge is another way of entering Edwards Branchline, so it gave me the idea that that bridge is the main entrance to Edwards Branchline usually used by small engines (but it's strong enough for big engines) and after Wellsworth and Gordon's Hill there is a junction like the one on David Milton's map that (atleast I think) is a bit of a shortcut to Brendam Dock's for Mainline engines that goes over a bridge ( possibly not the three bridges since we never see them in cgi nor are they mentioned, especially since it doesn't have a actual name) and connects onto Edwards line at Lower Suddery like in the model series, this obviously isn't perfect, but hey it's the best I could come up with and atleast it's better than nothing. Keep up the great work, can't wait until all your videos back.

[@kj.themoviedestroyer.810]

Also in the meet the steam video meet percy it says that percy collects mail from Knapford Harbour, meaning it exists in cgi as does elephant park and the transfer yards and possibly the new branchline and the wharf. I say this because in Emily Saves The World Duncan says he once delivered an elephant statue meaning that the events of The Runaway Elephant happened off screen in cgi and in said episode we seen locations of the new branchline, specifically Rumblin Bridge which possibly the events of The Grand Opening happened too and Rumblin Bridge is possibly near the Blue Mountain Quarry and is the bridge that Luke and Millie take to get to Ulfstead Castle and the Quarry, and since Rumblin Bridge is on the new branchline that means it exsists too. I also say that The Transfer Yards and possibly The Wharf exists because (again) in Emily Saves The World Rheneas says he once delivered a dinosaur skeleton which (unfortunately) means the episode Rheneas and the Dinosaur happened off screen aswell where we see the transfer yards in the episode and it could have a connection to the wharf like on your model series map plus I always thought the transfer yards and the wharf are connected and it feels wrong to have one without the other. I think I've rambled enough now but just thought I'd point these out for you, see ya, bye.

[@levidarling5107]

For the question at the end of the video. I’d say that the walking bridge would be worse than an 18th century styled underwater railroad tunnel. I say this because from my research the first underwater railroad tunnels were bored and constructed in March 25th 1843. But seriously Sharon miller, if you wanted to make Misty Island rescue the movie and the island of misty island, give it a far better reason to exist like what Nick tried to do here. *sigh* How and why did I like Misty island rescue the movie. Oh well. I will see to making my own version that is far better than how she made it anyway. Good video! I really love the map by the way!!! 👍❤️ DANG IT!

[@samuelfarris1949]

The original upload of this video had an end-piece that was a debate about the presence of Duke's character in the overall picture of things. My answer to why they did not take advantage of him was that they quite simply weren't sure of what to do with him without making him seem out-of-character, considering that so little was done with him (even though what little there was was still great). In fact as part of my overall project related to Thomas & Friends, Duke is a major part of my plans as is the Mid Sodor Railway. It forms the foundation stone of a mini-series called the 'Mid Sodor Chronicles', which gives a full coverage of the characters that worked on the old line, framed by the recently-rescued Duke recounting events to His Grace/The Earl who is actively trying to fill loose ends of information. Through this we learn the full story of Duke's presence as a fatherly figure to his underling engines. I am very proud of my effort, which has reached its finalised pitch stage as we speak. More to be revealed. Regards, Samuel Farris.

​@@PeruvianPotato If we're being strict, it's also impossible to cram all model seasons into one canon and all CGI episodes into another one.

And that's the same season! Does that mean Season 2 is canonically split into two timelines? Of course not, that'd be ridiculous, it just means errors and retcons will always be a thing and they're not supposed to be taken seriously or used as proof of different canons. It's the same with model and CGI series. Also, several people who worked on the show have confirmed it's just one canon.

The time and dedication, I salute you

Routes you didn’t mention: King of the Railway: Thomas, Percy and James leave Brendam Docks, goes through Edward’s Branch Line offscreen, then head up Gordon’s Hill. They go down the hill, switch to the Ulfstead Branch and reach for the top to the Castle. Journey Beyond Sodor: Thomas and James leave the Steelworks and go through Barrow offscreen. They then go over the Vicarstown Bridge, through the station and pass the Steamworks. They then continue down the mainline into Tidmouth Sheds. The Missing Christmas Decorations: Diesel 10 leaves Tidmouth Sheds and Percy chases after him. He goes through Wellsworth, passes Maron and alongside the Steam Team follows him into the Dieselworks. The Great Race: Thomas leaves the Steamworks, goes through Vicarstown station and jumps over the bridge into mainland territory. Misty Island Rescue: Thomas and the Logging Locos head through the tunnel but get stuck inside. Whiff and Percy go the other way and free the engines. They then turn around, couple up to Thomas and Logging Locos, and head to the Sodor Search and Rescue Center. Seeing is Believing: Merlin goes over the Vicarstown Bridge and goes through the eastern half of the Main Line offscreen. Then he turns to the Brendam Branch and arrives at Brendam Docks.

I think the lack of single-track sets in CGI is because of staging. It's easier to have two engines talk to each other if they're on parallel tracks.

[@thesodorcrew]

First one that liked!!! 😃

[@ilikeminecraftgaming9331]

I'd imagine this will be super helpful for fanfiction-As my Sodor map is a cgi/model series (though mainly cgi,as I grew up with that more then the model series and it's something I'm more used to.) hybrid.Sp glad I stumbled upon this video.

[@americanengine458]

I think I can understand why they made Thomas' Branchline two tracks because there are 4 engines working on the line so imagine if Thomas and Percy were on the same track and Thomas is heading to Ffarquhar and Percy was heading to knapford and both of them would be blocking the way also I think a walking bridge is worst because I was looking up underwater train tunnels on Google and saw that there were some so it kinda makes sense

[@funnyhappystudios]

25:22 Why even build that? With all the time and money spent, they could’ve built a NEW bridge! One where you can haul more than 1 wagon!!

[@onetrackmind3558]

That part with Misty Island makes sense.

[@ethansuperstars]

Did Tidmouth Town Square replaced main Tidmouth station in cgi?

[@joshuaW5621]

I think it did.

[@JZJ7777]

I’m keen to believe it did.

[@andresarosteguilt8238]

I wish he had also talked about the whistling forest; How big it is, how close it is to the Boxfords' summer home or whether it is suitable for a new renovation.

[@sinkybox4418]

Waoh keep uploading buddy, hope your old channel gets back up!!!

[@Basiliscuteasf]

I love it freak out about duke 😭😭

[@joshuaW5621]

I know many consider the model and cgi series the same canon, but the differences between their maps sure does get you thinking about this theory.

[@Kukaak]

That's probably because they didn't know about the Mitton map when they were making the CGI map, so of course it was gonna be different. They feature model-only locations on the CGI map anyways so it's clear they were intended to be just canon

[@Antluvstrains]

On an unrelated note, Feel The Magic totally suits the CGI series very nicely.

[@itzmespencer]

34:28 IT'S ALL CONNECTED, THE LINE ARE SOLI- oh the show ended. It no longer matters (or does it ?)

[@Ninja11125]

Hackenbeck was mentioned on sign

[@joshuaW5621]

Doesn’t mean there’s a station there. Oh wait, we already know there is because the model and CGI series were confirmed to be the same canon.

[@itzmespencer]

8:20 I found this weird (and probably wrong) cuz I re-watched the Philip to the Rescue episode and here what I found to be "weird" and "probably wrong": James' load started pushing him on the way DOWN Gordon's Hill, turns right almost immediately after, then comes the overhead track above the tunnel where James crashed. When James was turning right we can still see Gordon's Hill behind. If Gordon's Hill is before Maron, and the overhead track should be after Maron. But James crashed seconds after Gordon's Hill, before Maron, to a track above the tunnel that's should be way after Gordon's Hill and Maron. Isn't that incorrect ?

[@geographyRyan]

Only changes I'd make is remove the walking bridge and just put in the rickety old bridge and remove Misty Island.

[@ashleybritton5335]

I agree

[@andresarosteguilt8238]

I liked when they restored Great Waterton station, ulfstead castle and the lost mine.

[@nashpeleuses]

I think Edward's branch line is the most consistent in all canons of Thomas.

[@catdude68356]

I zoomed in on the res of the map and saw Peter Griffin

[@jamesthebluecat1263]

Imagine combining the maps of sodor from the books and both the model and cgi series. That would be a deadly roller coaster. It would also make poor unlucky tug have a severe mental breakdown. Especially with misty island in it. (Why do people hate that movie so much? (along with magic railroad) I’ll never understand because I never saw the movie. Unless someone replies to me with explanations)

[@jamesthebluecat1263]

WTH! Who makes a tunnel underwater?

[@NitroIndigo]

He explains why he hates Misty Island in his "EVERY Thomas Movie Ranked" video.

[@jamesthebluecat1263]

@@NitroIndigo ok. I’ll see that video.

[@SuperEVA64]

underwater tunnels do exist in real life.The channel tunnel is a great example of a tunnel that goes underwater

[@joshuaW5621]

The shake shake bridge is ludicrous.

[@NitroIndigo]

What's the Blue Mountain Mystery learning segment from? Is it a DVD extra?

[@Steam_Enthusiast_105]

When i downloaded the map i noticed a tiny detail in the mountain labeled "Culdee fell" on top of it was a image of Peter Griffin... The image is tiny, you have to really zoom in...

[@thatd59ladlarry]

One thing that sticks out, how can Hiro’s hideout be near the Boxford’s Summer house if they’re on different branchlines? Hiro’s hideout in on the Callan Branch, while Boxford Halt is on the Brendam Branch. Just an observation.

[@cddc2468]

Because of this i sort of learned how to make a good railroad in transport fever 2 lol
