You gotta respect the fact that they were still world building even when the model series was about to end

Good thing Tug saved his videos. This just shows why having a backup plan is always a good idea.

No matter how close the model series came to it's end, they were still giving us all new locations and characters. Granted, not many of them would stick around or be expanded upon, but it shows they did care about keeping the Island of Sodor feeling fresh.

The Island of Sodor has some fascinating locations.

The map is more consistent then I thought

7:27 A Taste for Freeform Jazz

I still love the fact this video was originally uploaded on my birthday. 😂

15:02-15:11 maybe the bolder was able destroy those tunnels somehow.

See, I've been thinking about this since you reposted the original map video. Is it possible Farmer McColl's farm WAS on Toby's line initially, but he relocated after the blizzard in Toby Had A Little Lamb? Serious building/landscape damage and such. A relocation would explain why he's suddenly on Thomas's line in future episodes...

Ok so I have a few things to mention about the map. 1. So I don’t think that you necessarily have to retcon the top line of the 3 bridges set being a road only bridge because one of the benefits of running a tramway is that it can run along the road which could explain why you can see both cars and engines on the bridge. However if you changed it it would really have to connect to ducks line from the west instead of the east like how the peel godred line crosses over the main to connect to cronk 2. In down the mine I feel like it would make more sense to have the lead mine around either dryaw or toryreck because there’s no way that an lner a1 could get all the way past ffarquhar with the tight curves and axle loading and loading gauge restrictions. At least this way it would still be relatively close to all the other mines on Thomas’ line Honestly those are like my only complaints about this. Your interpretations of this is absolutely amazing and I’m in awe of your dedication as a Thomas creator. Thank you for making this Tug!

The top bridge in the three bridge scene could be a rail and road bridge like the one up by Ffarquhar near the falls.

I can’t believe you didn’t put the Ice Cream factory on the map! It’s the most important location in the HIT era! In this essay I will…

I love how you explained the extra locations that was used between Season 8 to Season 12 before the moving to CGI. From watching the video, I noticed that their is some new details that was added during the HIT era that includes new stations and towns so I am going to see what railway lines are added in the HIT era and what stations they go to. 1) At Arthur's Coastal Run both the Harwick and Church stations were swapped but their are two stations on the map. They are Bluff's Cove and the Seaside Village. 2) Misty Valley station is located near Callan Castle station. 3) The 3 Bridges is located between Arlesburgh and Callan station. 4) The Coastal run from Tidmouth Station to Knapford Station moved to Knapford to Knapford Harbour to avoid the confusion of the mysterious beach station from the previous seasons. 5) The Sports Field Hault is located between Dryaw and Toryreck. 6) Crowe's Farm Crossing is located on the Ffquarhar Branch Line between Dryaw and Toryreck. 7) Elsbridge Junction is a new addition added in the new series and it is located next to Elsbridge Station. 8) Mccoll's Farm was moved from Toby's Branch Line onto Thomas Branch Line and it is between Elsbridge and Maithwaite. 9) The abandoned mine is located near Maithwaite. 10) Toby's Branch Line had an extended line that didn't stop at Arlesdale End but it went to Ulfstead Castle. 11) The Rickety Old Bridge located near Ulfstead. 12) The Miner's Hault and the Coal Mine is located near Ulfstead. 13) Henry's Forest use to be located at Balladrine but now it is located near Crosby and Wellsworth. 14) The Flour Mill is on Edward's Branch Line and it is between Crock's Scrapyard and Lower Suddery. 15) The Sodor Airport is located between Kellsthrope Road and Crovan's Gate. 16) The Cement Works is located at Killdane. 17) The Sodor Ironworks was abandoned at Peel Godred and it moved to Killdane. 18) The Pack's Yard is located between Cronk Abbey and Cronk. 19) Neville's Bridge is located between Cronk and Killdane. 20) The Old Quarry Bridge is located between Cronk Abbey and Abbey. 21) The Skarloey Railway expanded it's services and connected to the Peel Godred Branch Line. In the process their are a few new stations that were built and they were Rumblin Bridge, Elephant Park and Mountain Village. 22) Stephney's Branch Line calls at Vicarstown, Ballahoo, Bluebell Valley and Norramby. 23) The Skarloey Railway also extended it's railway line from Crovan's Gate to Vicarstown. 24) The Dual Gauge Tunnel is located between Crovan's Gate and Vicarstown. 25) The Wharf is located at Balladwail. 26) Great Waterton and the Transfer Yards is located near Crovan's Gate. 27) The Trestle Bridge and the Trust Rusty Bridge are located on the Skarloey Line. That is quite a lot of changes and it is sad that some of the scenery wasn't used in the CGI series.

Having the Flour Mill on Edward's line does make sense since James passed it after collecting his fuel trucks from the docks

I'm so glad that this one was able to be re-uploaded it's one of my favorite videos. And I'm going to be asking if I can use the map for a video I would like to make about how I would roster the engines of sodor on which branch lines and jobs they do for the railway. It will be my own headcanon but I would like to use the map as a solid reference.

Outdated or not, we still love this previous updated map. As a fan to have a big glossy poster of your Island Of Sodor map on my bedroom wall feels pretty great. 🗺💙🧡🤍

Sorry to hear about your OG channel, Tug I enjoy the retrospectives and character focuses. Just wondering, is there any plans or theme for another MTAKS video?

I’m glad you have acquired a taste of free form jazz

I personally think that the standard gauge tracks up there was torn up due to them trying to leave that part of the island alone and all that remains is a lot of abandoned ties and a switch to head to there

I'll be totally honest, even though this map technically doesn't match up with David Mitton's own map at all, this one still works pretty well I think

I’m so glad you are back The Unlucky Tug

9:25 Your off,Maron has a bay platform because it is actually the Junction for a Branchline to the airport and the after the airport it does curves and as straight pieces of track before passing a siding and the curve right which leads to a straight track that leads to Kellsthorpe Road.

Can’t wait to re-watch the model series timeline video

He started with the clip that scared him in thomas retrospective 1

Might do this again: Routes: No Joke for James: James leaves Brendam and goes through Edward’s branch line offscreen. He passes through Henry’s forest, goes through Wellsworth, Crosby and Elsbridge offscreen and arrives at Tidmouth. Thomas and Gordon: Thomas and Gordon leave Knapford and goes through Tidmouth offscreen. Through Henry’s tunnel, into Elsbridge offscreen, go over the viaduct and stop at Wellsworth. Stepney Gets Lost: Stepney leaves Ffarquhar Quarry, goes through Thomas’s line offscreen and turns to the mainline. Goes through Knapford to Cronk offscreen, heads up the Peel Godred branch line offscreen and ends up at the Ironworks. Edward, Gordon and Henry: Gordon leaves Knapford, goes through Tidmouth offscreen and breaks down at the tunnel. Later Henry and Edward take the train, goes through Crosby and Elsbridge offscreen and arrive at Wellsworth.

Ok idea, on the “three bridges” the top one is both road and rail, the rails are in the road so it is basically street running but on a bridge

I like how fast he is reuploading his videos, 1 years worth of videos and we should be back in business

Thanks a lot. Your Map is very helpful.

Nice. Good watch.

3:23 you can say the top bridge is actually a tramway with road since it goes to Toby's old line which is a tramway

I feel happy now

The best map of the tv series we have

Yay updates!

It makes sense that Henry's forest is in-between Wellsworth and the viaduct, because the lines going through it curve towards the viaduct. In Thomas and Gordon, I noticed in the final shot where Thomas is crossing the viaduct going back to Knapford there are a lot of trees and the line curves in the same direction the forest tracks do it's just, they filmed the shots in a random order and doesn't doesn't follow the fact that wellsworth is before the viaduct in the direction Gordon was pulling Thomas and the express.

God bless the "Chruch" station 😅

Mist valley has a lake on the east of the line and lake fog is more thick but doesn't really spread out as much

All the random factories from the latter seasons i think would make most sense to be located around the east of sodor near knapford, tidmouth or on the brendam branch, my thought process being they'd need to be located near harbours to import material and export goods

Locations Where to place the unimportant and one-off locations: The Power Station The Power Station might possibly be placed in Peel Godred. There is a power station in the railway series, so there could be one too in the model series. The Skull and Crossbones It was hard to place this. I first thought it would be somewhere on the cement works line, but I think it goes on Stepney’s Branch Line. The Sodor Maritime Museum is also here. The Boulder Quarry Sheds The sheds Boulder destroyed might be on the Peel Godred Line on the old Mid Sodor tracks, with its own standard and narrow gauge connections. My head cannon here is that when Boulder ran to the Skarloey Railway, someone somehow managed to push him out of the way. This however, sent Boulder to the sheds and transfer yards. The Farm in Gordon Takes a Tumble This is located after the Vicarage Orchard. In Gordon Takes a Tumble, Gordon goes on an old line by accident and crashes into a field. Edward’s Branch line should be the best location. The Hit Era Intro Tunnel and Bridges I’d place this somewhere after Elsbridge, because Unlucky Tug believes that Thomas goes through a series of points before continuing on his Branch Line. So why not at this location, the canal and bridges are also here. The Campsite Ok, this was complicated to place. The Campsite in the episode; Mighty Mac is either near the picnic halt or on the restored Mid Sodor tracks and I think it goes on the restored Mid Sodor tracks. The Skarloey Connection to Culdee Fell This could be located on the new branch line. My head cannon for this is that after Elephant Park and Rumblin Bridge opened for service, construction to Culdee Fell continued offscreen. It was completed by season 10.

While the events of Magic Railroad _definitely_ shouldn't be canon, I do like to believe that the locations on Sodor do still exist. I mean, c'mon the viaduct Diesel 10 careens off of at the end of the movie is simply iconic.

I wonder how this will change considering David Mitton has his own Map can it be considered the "offical" map for the TV series? This map as Tug mention is his "headcanon" though some fans including me also incorporate it.

Boulder quarry is on the wharf branch line

If you watch Passengers and Polish than the Picnic area, Castle Causeway, the mountain line and the viaduct come before Rheneas Station. Rheneas and the Roller Coaster would later follow the same thing.

how did gordon enter the back of knapford in james and the express

I think great Waterton goes north and a narrow gauge railway goes there but out of set

IT'S COMING

Surprised you didn’t just make it 1 video

will you do those Thomas Debunked videos?

Let’s go back on the three bridges part instead being a road bridge it can be a road/rails call G and other engines can go on it as well. Now I still wonder where it goes.

14:15. I hate this but it’s definitely better than how Sam Wilkinson did it.

18:25 Believe it or not, That's actually Killdane! That's what the wiki says anyway.

Are you going to release the prior 2020 stuff, the livestreams, and the post 2020 stuff your not reuploading?

Funny how Neville's bridge has 3 tracks on the surface, but in reality, one of the tracks end at a buffer. *cough* *cough* 11:22 *cough* * cough*

Why can’t the top bridge of the 3 way bridge also go to the harbour but for passengers instead of just making it a road bridge

This video was uploaded at 13:42

Wait, so Duke's mid sodor line doesn't go to Arlesbrough?

What if you combine the CGI and Model series together into one jumbo map

On my sodor map, I have The Season 5 Transfer yard on Thomas' Branch

This map is kinda like the Blue train with friends game on roblox. The old map would be the middle version of the game, and the updated one is kinda like the new version of the game.

You can add Austin Texas airport in Thomas and friends

You gonna post the David Mitton map version of Sodor?

18:26 That’s Killdane

how bolder got through rheneas tunnel he destroyed it

Technically you don't need the transfer yard that folder destroyed it's not there no more Sir Topham Hatt set himself we should have left this part of the island alone so stand reason that's not there no more

Posted on the 2 year anniversary

its wired knowing he alrwady did it but not being able to see it

PLEASE REUPLOAD THE SEASONS Revisted

can you please give this map

YEE

I made the island on Google earth pro and it looks so bad XD it will be fixed at some day but not now btw I will make a video of my island

i made a paper map of this

No

I don’t know if it’s accurate to compare them, but the Sodor Online map has some differences that are confusing and some that definitely make more sense. 1. The Pack’s yard and old quarry bridge are located off of Thomas’ branch line and connects to Callan for some reason. 2. The Chocolate Factory is located on the Peel Godred line right before Abbey Station. 3. Quite a few locations seemed to be modeled after the CGI versions * The suspension bridge is located after Crosby for some reason. * Cronk Abbey is not present in the game. * The picnic halt is not present in the Skarloey railway 4. Henry’s Tunnel is right before Vicarstown Station rather than after Knapford station. 5. Dryaw is placed after Elsbridge instead of before, which means that the bridge itself is placed on an alternate route from Elsbridge

Third!
