Hear me out...what if Season 5 were ahead of its time and the coal mine + miner's halt are meant to be Ballaswein? This also fits into UnluckyTug's theory that the fishing village is Harwick

They just…made a new character out of the existing Henry recolor from BWBA

Mattel…just…you had it right during the Brenner era. You had it right during the classic series. Hell you even kinda had it right during some of the HiT seasons. Why is universal appeal such a hard concept to understand…

At this point I’ve kinda just accepted that no matter what lore or characters appear, Mattel’s gonna keep the brand as a typical kiddie show. The only ones left capable of actually honoring the classics are the fans

So the thing I took away from the trailer for the new show is…that it seems to be the lovechild of AEG and BWBA

I guess it would take place at the Wharf since that’s the only way those two could logically meet

It’s just now occurring to me that if Angelis had ever addressed Toad by name in his Fat Controller voice we would have heard a very different name

I love it here, the vibe is a lot more friendly and laid back than Elon’s cesspit

New face? Sure whatever. AI is what’s gonna be the dealbreaker for me

I hope whatever happens in the 2026 series incorporates Walter and the Harwick extension

@ee93.bsky.social Hi Matt! Long time no chat (this is DuckGWR08) Just asking if you're cool with me loosely adapting The Old Warrior from your early series in Trainz someday

Returning to Unlucky Tug's "separate canons" theory, I've crafted Sodor maps for both the model and CGI series

Perhaps the biggest change I'm making from both canons is that Peel Godred is the castle station instead of Ulfstead (it's literally King Godred's castle). The Earl's estate and railway museum is located here, and can be accessed by every gauge railway, including the Arlesdale/MSR and CFR

JC (DuckGWR08) @perplexedpannier.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Suddery is the town square station, seeing as it's the capitol of Sodor and where the mayor lives. The old wharf was rebuilt as the Search & Rescue Center (figures to locate the rescue center at the capitol)

Like the TVS, the loop line exists, allowing main line trains to stop at Elsbridge and enter Tidmouth through the rear. I have an entirely new take on Elsbridge - it's a multi-level station with Thomas' branch running above and the main line below, similar to metro trains IRL

JC (DuckGWR08) @perplexedpannier.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Knapford is mostly as it appears in the books - the junction to Thomas' branch overlooking the old harbour, except with the aesthetic of TVS Elsbridge/Tidmouth Harbour. (most of this map is just RWS track plans with TVS assets)

JC (DuckGWR08) @perplexedpannier.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

The old headland track from the TKER was reopened as part of Thomas' branch line to provide an alternate route to control traffic to the big station. It was also briefly used as an express route for the Flying Kipper - until Something In The Air

JC (DuckGWR08) @perplexedpannier.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Tidmouth Harbour is where the Brendam Docks crew from the TVS works, since it's the main line's harbour. It's connection to Thomas, Edward, and Duck's lines as well fixes the inconsistency from the TVS, and is also where the Flying Kipper departs like in the books
