If we do get Henry and the Flying Kipper as one of his service runs, I was wondering how that route would work? For context, the Flying Kipper is...
I think they are trying to keep it as RWS canon where he used to shunt for the bigger engines, but then upgraded to running a branch line. Percy...
I think Brendam will definitely be first, but one thing I've had on my mind is if the track extensions (at least maybe some) will be free with at...
Besides just when or if we get the Skarloey Railway, I'm now wondering about which engines we could get. The main 6 definitely, but could we get...
This Sodor is a blend of both, you will find one location that fits the RWS version and another that fits how it looks in the TV series. Still, a...
Now that I mention Vicarstown, what else could be placed on that branch? The only two primary locations I can think of are the Dieselworks and the...
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...
I wouldn't mind some engines getting a second poster, it still adds some variety to the randomised advertisements. Not every engine will likely...
Adding to this, I may be wrong. I'm finding the same suggestions, if not all then some could be secondary posters for other services or locations...
I think there are only 6 currently in game, one for each engine advertising either a location or the service at a location. Likely a scroll...
For now, I see the Skarloey Railway as set dressing for Crovan's Gate. A simple sight to see as we're rolling through, a placeholder that lets...
All game ports are out, it's just a physical release for the games that shouldn't be too hard. Whatever new update or content comes next, I'm...
I think Paxton, Arry & Bert will work better as their own locomotives. Although if the Mainland Class 08 diesels from "The Great Race" are...
Watched that yesterday, it was interesting. Now, what I think is we're going to see one more inspired by both RWS and TV. The Ffarquhar branch...
Speaking of Ffarquhar, I've been pondering about the other missing aspects such as the sheds. I haven't got the game yet so I can't tell if it...
On top of the Season 5 station, Kirk Ronan in the show features the Cement Works and the Waste Dump. The former utilises Fergus while the latter...
I do wonder though if the Big World Big Adventures scenario will happen here, but there's no doubt Henry and Edward will make it in. I'm not a fan...
I think it would be nice for the customisable timetable to work like we're in the role of Hatt, choosing how we want our Island of Sodor to be....
I can see how it could get awkward to work with, adding timetables to Explore Mode even if it will be customisable. Like imagine taking James up...
Some of those empty spots are likely saved for future rolling stock and services, like some log trucks for Henry's Forest and the Sawmill.
If there are going to be some changes to Ffarquhar, it will likely come after a few improvements and additions not tied to that line. They...
If they add the ability to set up our own AI timetables in Explore Mode, then I see no reason why we can't catch a ride as a passenger.
I think another update was said to be coming this week, mainly focusing around Explore Mode improvements. Somewhere in the big patch thread.
I think it comes down to if Dovetail plan on making changes to the existing map, I don't know if they've ever made drastic changes to the main...
I know Arlesdale, narrow gauge and Culdee Fell have their own sheds, but I do think the sheds at Crovan's Gate could do with some improvements....
Mainly a thread to wonder about where the engines we'll get will "Wake up" in Timetable Mode, I guess. Where they sleep and start their days. I...
Routes taking more time makes sense, Sodor is half the size and they have to figure out what room is available for some locations and that is if...
I think Spencer could work, just some tweaks or two from his usual show self. If we get the option to pick what services we want running and maybe...
If the narrow gauge is planned, then I believe standard gauge is the main focus for now. Not just because people want more lines like Brendam and...
It is confusing from time to time, like that Knapford loop line Gordon took in one story that is non-existent yet the story is in the RWS. As for...
Who knows if some work has already started as they finalise the big update. Maybe not halfway there, but in the planning stage. For me though, I'm...
Hopefully it gets better than they expect with that first big update, the physical release and the Switch. Especially the future content, there's...
Both. The Arlesdale Railway wasn't introduced in the model series, then it was retconned with the Arlesdale finally getting introduced in CGI. On...
I highly agree. Having a custom timetable for AI engines in Explore Mode would be nice, allows the world to feel more alive and it would let us...
I've been wondering about Toby's line, with how Dovetail are aiming for a more RWS inspired Sodor with TV elements. If I remember correctly,...
Some are likely waiting for the physical release like me, which means hopefully more improvements and content by the time that releases.
When the update does drop, I'd suggest keeping a look out for anything new in the game. I don't expect a new engine or a new branchline, but maybe...
I think someone recently confirmed the first update is a big one, so it's likely they are working full steam to get that out. If it's a big one,...
Likely just hard at work on the game fixes and whatever first plans they have or I don't know if the team is also working on other sim games. It...
I know this thread is probably too early, but better sooner than later I guess. At the moment, we can set Sodor to different times of the year...
Sodor Island Models has released a video today investigating that, none of the tracks are finished. I am curious how many characters we'll get too...
I've thought what if they won't actually be paid DLC. New engines most definitely will be paid, but it would be a pain if they decide to paywall...
I do wonder what other locations could be added if we're going for a blend of RWS canon lines with a mix of TVS parts. Don't think we see much up...
Things will pick up with the release of new characters, railways and new features/improvements. All sorts of checklists to tick, some nice...
I only now found out, you can visit Crock's Scrap Yard heading down the unfinished Brendam branch. Where Edward saved Trevor from scrap.
I had one idea for the cosmetics where they all take place at the works, like prompts similar to in-game mission icons so we can hop in straight...
Even though Wonders of Sodor's map is inspired heavily on Awdry's RWS map, we did see a few locations make their way in like the barge siding from...
The Vicarstown branch from what I understand leads to the Vicarstown Dieselworks and, according to the wiki, the Sodor Ironworks. The ones between...
Especially in Explore Mode where the only other characters who can appear are just the engines & rolling stock you have to spawn. I don't know how...
It's possible the poster slots are just placeholders, Sodor has a lot of fan favourites. Every poster seems to tie to a service or location and...
