Hello all, I've been looking at the map of the game versus some online maps of sodor, especially the one from the wiki. Do any of you know where branches marked with "???" lead to? For instance on the wiki map there's only the mainline going to Vicarstown, but in the CGI series and in the game it splits in two different directions. Also feel free to correct me if i made mistakes on "identified" branches.
The Vicarstown branch from what I understand leads to the Vicarstown Dieselworks and, according to the wiki, the Sodor Ironworks. The ones between Brendam and Kirk Ronan might be a loop branch that heads towards the Search & Rescue Centre. I could be wrong, things could change to fit with Awdry's map. I don't know what model or CGI series locations we could get in the future.
Found this on Reddit, https://www.reddit.com/media?url=ht...bp&s=41410d5ea03f76f145c64a83fbaa010351dab4a0 i think it combines all the maps from the Railway, Model and CGI eras into one. Could this be what we ultimately get?
Really cool find, thanks for showing it! I don't think we'll get this version of sodor in the game however, there's too many discrepancies with what is in the game. Look for instance at the skarloey railway. On the map it runs along the mainline to all the way to balahoo, but in the game crovan's gate is the terminus station. The quarry at ffarquhar is a dead end in the game but on this map it shows it links with other branches. I don't think DTG would modify existing parts of the map to include entire new branches, would be cool though!
It takes some stuff from one version of the map used by the later CGI seasons. On that map the ??? branches are a loop line serving Killaban and Cabalnoo. This line was actually dropped from later versions of the map, so I presume DTG must have a reason for including it. But DTG's map also takes stuff from completely different Sodor maps - the position of Henry's Forest is taken from the map used internally during production of the early model seasons.
I've made a thread about TV show locations already, but one thing I'm curious about is lines that haven't been incorporated from the show. We have the Vicarstown and the two others I previously mentioned above, but I'm now curious about the Ulfstead branch. Maybe that's being saved for the Peel Godred expansion. Otherwise, it feels unlikely.
