The Stories of Sodor Timeline Explained

The success of the T1E2H3 timeline video naturally led me to make a timeline about Stories of Sodor by Victor Tanzig. This is one is a long one folks, coming in at just under 2 hours.
There are some issues with dates shown, so the audio is the correct version of events, some of the images are incorrect by a year or 2
Image credits go to Victor Tanzig, WildnorWester, Mainland Studios, Sodor Island 3d and many others, I'm making no money from this video.

[@twmallard38]

Wow, didn't expect to see you here :) This actually does mean a lot seeing this comment, thank you so much, can't wait for season 6 and beyond 😄

[@ZionMcFarlane-o6v]

Isn’t it great? Hey Victor, when is Thomas coming back when season six?

[@miscellaneoussarnian5282]

how do you SPELL Caldan? or the yard james got trapped in

9:56 “Wilbert Awdry was built” OK I know that was a slip of the tongue and I get what you mean, but the thought of the author of the railway series being put together like an engine is kind of hilarious

[@TheBandit025Nova]

His parents were building him do you remember Robots

[@PlayDontPause]

Built Different.

[@anncase8673]

I'm still holding our for Victor having a plan for Thomas later down the road. This was really good too

[@lt.bagelbites6969]

So Arthur’s ghost model is the Timothy model because there was no suitable model matching Arthur’s basis. I remember commenting about it when the episode came out and victor replied himself and said it was because it was the only “ghost” model

[@tommcglone2867]

Topham having PTSD is expected. I have PTSD myself from a frightening near death experience

[@Sudriantank743]

What happened?

[@BigStationProductions]

9:55 Wilbert Audrey was built 💀💀

[@twmallard38]

I know, slip of the tongue only realised when it released😅

[@ReviCat]

HELP- I LAUGHED SO HARD

[@ReviCat]

@@twmallard38by the way 1911 was when Alfred was built

[@comicfan1324]

59:49 Man, I forgot how stupid some Trainz human models can look. It’s hilarious

[@VibeClubVids]

First of all Thomas is not dead due to the conversation between thopem hat and Robert and many other factors

[@shivamkamil1581]

23:50 Yeah, I was going to mention, it seemed like he changed his mind on that and had it officially be 1935. The wedding happens in September 1936 after all. 1:03:03 There could be some other incident where Duck crashed into a barber shop.

[@twmallard38]

1. Yeah, I can see that they were both built in 1935, but the stories they were introduced in happened after the express incidents, which definitely take place in 1936 2. That's the problem, as Duck would have definitely mentioned something about it, or got teased by Diesel, and seeing as the book was released in 1958, and the event is yet to happen as of this video, another case of life imitates art

[@xavierthomas1426]

Amazing work! You should do the same for something like Wild nor wester’s series.

[@PlayDontPause]

I’ve been beaten to the punch a second time. Nobutthevideo’sactuallyquitegood-

[@Mexican984]

At least Alfred died for a good cause

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

R I P ALFRED/98462!

[@ScorchZaneTrains]

Honestly I agree him being a mad bomber is just a bit much

[@Thattrianguy2012]

Yea for once he didn’t die of jealousy

[@Nicolas-zw5ex]

I remember the day when Wilbert Awdry was built like if it was yesterday...

[@jackswan3420]

It's hilarious you referred to the Rev. Awdry as being "built" in 1913.

[@TylerThunell]

😄 Yeah that was pretty funny how he said "built" instead of "born" and it was actually in the year of 1911 that Wilbert was born. After all during the release of the 42nd railway series book in 2011 it was to celebrate Wilbert's centennial birthday if he would have still been alive during that time despite his death in 1997. 😥

[@thenebulaxyz8849]

I just like to point out one of the inconsistencies with Daisy appearing in a book before she showed up was that he hadn't read much of the books, which goes for almost all of us since we grew up on the tv series format. I didn't even know about the books until I was older, or at the very least I hadn't read them yet.

[@jhrstudios.87546]

21:22 “Knapford who would have been shunting”…

[@Gfr4OfficalYT]

someone please make knapford station as a trainz engine so this can come true

[@franciscoruiz289]

i love the stories of sodor

[@gokumasteredultrainstinct1235]

The chances that Thomas is still alive are very high,because Sodor is not the same without Thomas,heck the series in general is nothing without Thomas,heck,there were some people that unsubcribed from Victor's channel because of Thomas's "death",so again,the chance that Thomas is alive are very,very high.

[@ScorchZaneTrains]

To be honest that’s kind there lost since well it’s not the first time Thomas has died, take Sodor Dark Times as an example.

[@glitchygamer105]

Yeah, Victor made a sodor answers saying engines faces disappear when they die and Thomas’s face was still there

[@gokumasteredultrainstinct1235]

And when Adam died in Season 4,his face didn't desappeared,but of course his remaines were talking to Killdane was were scrapped,but hear me out,Thomas was sent to Barry Island for his body to be scrapped,Spamcan himself took him,but what are the chance that Thomas isn't dead?,what are the chance that Thomas is still alive are high?,what are the chances that Thomas woke up in Barry Scrapyard,the workman found him alive and took him to the workshops to be repaired?,we all know Sodor and it's Engines are part of a bizzard universe,at this point,anything is possible,i mean,if Proteus died but his soul became one with the lamp,then chance are that Thomas is alive very high and possible,i know it may look very doughbfull,but it doesn't mean it's not possible.

[@MCstudio1274]

You can say that again. What is a Thomas fan series, with the title character. It just doesn’t work!!!

[@TheTrainTheoristOfficial]

​@MCstudio1274 Stories Of Sodor isn't a Thomas Series.

[@sulaimaanazoor]

Rip to the main engines and human characters that died in the Stories of Sodor: 1) Colin aged 56 (1885 - 1941) 2) Alfred aged 32 (1911 - 1943) 3) Jonathan Starr aged 56 (1887 - 1943) 4) Lilly aged 62 (1883 - 1945) 5) Adam aged 75 (1882 - 1958) 6) Andreas aged 45 (1916 - 1961) 7) Randolph (?? - 1962) 8) Geoffrey aged 31 (1934 - 1965) 9) Peter aged 30 (1935 - 1965) 10) Nigel Zorro aged 75 (1890 - 1965) 11) Thomas aged 60 (1905 - 1965) 12) Mickey aged 53 (1912 - 1965) But not for these villains. 1) Alexander Jefferies (?? - 1943) 2) Johnny Cuba (?? - 1963) 3) Avery Halifax (?? - 1965) 4) Benson aged 54 (1911 - 1965) 5) Sean Hall (?? - 1965)

[@BlooMonkiMan]

Jonny Cuba was awakened in 1935 iirc

[@PerpIsPerp]

Damn this is underrated

[@PurplePurplePurple26]

9:56 I’m sorry but I have to point this out Great Video though

[@rafaelreynoso9710]

Can we please see a timeline for enterprising engine 93 🙏

[@twmallard38]

Tempting, might wait until the Self-Fulfilling prophecy saga releases, as part one was Thomas and the Fortune Teller, but the episodes jumped at least 10 episodes, so am just waiting for those ones to be finished, but I will note this, thank you

[@justarandomfan5554]

Sodor time!

[@TheTrainTheoristOfficial]

Nice.

[@BLUEMOUNTEN22]

you should do a timeline on short stories by passing thru pictures

[@Sudriantank743]

Why is the max quality for the video 360p?

[@roaropgard8575]

Nicely done freind 😊😊

[@CookieCrewmateSpaceGuy]

I don’t necessarily think it’ll be season 6. It might just be the continuation of season 5, since every season is split into two halves.

[@german01loco]

But then the trailer would say Season 5 A coming..., but it didn't. And I think you would plan out the whole season if you understand.

[@TheTrainTheoristOfficial]

It's going to be season 6.

[@BlakeLagani]

Wilbert Awdry was built haha

[@K.F.M.AProductions]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY

The train, for its type is the most powerful vehicle on land. And the engines of sodor is behind of the docks branchlines and industries of what makes up the world renoun north western railway.

15:17 this is the wrong logo for the GWR. This is the logo for the current GWR company which has nothing to do with the original GWR

27:56 from what episode is that?
