*Move Arlesdale End to near Haltraugh
*Add Pre/Post-Brenner Retconned Locations.
*Adjust roadside line from Clay Pits to the west slightly.
*Edit Skarloey Railway layout somewhat, based on 's map in the Sodor Workshops Skype Group.
*Locate Balldarine, Cabalnoo, Callendale, Kellaby and Killiban Stations and place them on the map. This is gonna be very difficult as they have very few appearances in the Classic and Retconned Series and don't seem to appear on any Sodor maps. Balldarine is in the final Classic episode, but there are 3 filler stations, two without names, but one is the Sports Halt Station. The third has a name that can't be read. I will add the unnamed ones as well. Callendale is only in Thomas and Stepney. Calbanoo is in Gordon's Shortcut and Toby's Special Suprise. Kellaby and Killaban were only in TATMRR. I am having much difficulty actually locating Cabalnoo- I don't see any unusual stations in said episodes except for a small halt. Killaban and Kellaby are both locations Β on the map but I don't remember any stations for them. This SiF pool is confusing me.
That should about cover it.
Here's a creepy tidbit- By sheer coincidence, the marking I placed for Great Waterton on my original map was in the EXACT same spot as on the BMM/2010 maps. As I was using the Japanese 2010 map I had absolutely NO idea it was there as it was unmarked and only labelled in the English version.

Again, it's something I'm working on. I don't have the names even placed on here.

Why have you included the SI3D Stuff in when it's not official?

OkamiTakahashi In reply to TheRival4F [2014-04-20 19:36:00 +0000 UTC]
Because I felt like it. I like the little bits of filler SI3D added in. Said locations would make for some good stories.

Ahh right, they aren't official though which just baffles me a little. Just saying mate :^)

I still have a bit of work to do before I can add the names on the map. I added a couple things to the changelog recently.
One thing I like to do is add locations from various canons, whether they're RWS, Classic, Retconned or otherwise. Once Sodor: The Modern Years premiers I will be adding East Knapford to the map, and the quarry from Tale of the Brave once the movie's released.

OkamiTakahashi In reply to tophxomi [2013-12-16 21:37:01 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I know, it's gonna be a long while. I'll try to get the names on there in late January/early February once East Knapford makes its debut in Sodor The Modern Years.

In the tv series, Elsbridge is the junction of Thomas Branchline . Do you think that there should be a lower Elsbridge and Upper Elsbridge? Just saying...

OkamiTakahashi In reply to TGCFKisekae [2013-07-27 17:35:42 +0000 UTC]
The TV series Elsbridge is based on RWS Knapford- on my map, what you suggested for Elsbridge is Upper and Lower Knapford on my map- upper being the Classic/Retconned station and Lower being the RWS Station. So what was called Elsbridge Harbor in the Classic Series is actually Knapford Harbour in the RWS. This map is a blend of RWS, Classic and Retconned canons in addition to bits and bobs from SI3D's IoS project, i.e. the abandoned goods station "A R HAL" (or L A N A if you go by the current version of the map). I personally prefer the former.

You should label the stations and other places.

I'm keeping the labels off until the final version. This is still a WIP and things are subject to change.

To be precise, if this map were further retconned, where do you think the buffers leading to Magic Railroad are located?

I've got a quick question regarding the Peel Godred line--according to Reverend Awdry's "canon" for the books, the Peel Godred line is electrified. That being said, Is it an electric line in the current TV series?

OkamiTakahashi In reply to ATSF-Asbel [2012-09-26 10:37:36 +0000 UTC]
TV series isn't electrified and is simply called the Peel line.

Looks great Jim. But when you save the pic and want to look at it closer, it get blurry.

The map's fixed. It was DA's fault, kept changing the full size to 900 pixels instead of using the original size.
