There's already speculation about Henry and Toby's schedules, plus discussion around Edward. This thread is open to theorise and discuss anyone....
Exactly. You have Bill & Ben with their rolling stock, but that's it. Any stories they get would be treated like services, locked off via Brendam....
I was just saying how with Brendam and the Little Western open, that would leave room for more engines who tie in to those lines. BoCo, Bill, Ben...
That's the most likely scenario. Edward and Salty make sense as starters, you have one engine heading up and down the line and then another at...
More engines, the more it will feel alive and the more players will want in on the game. Henry in winter doesn't sound like much, but it's an...
I wonder if the base game was planned to have Brendam and a few more engines with this being the only thing prepared. It feels like an unfinished...
The planning process is likely one of the reasons. Writing out scenarios and their gameplay, the character model design, their service schedules...
I could see Toby having a few stops at McColl Farm & Trotter Farm as part of his service schedule.
If Edward will come with the Brendam branch, then expect it to take more time than Edward and Henry. The line currently has the scrapyard, but I...
Swinging back to this, the mention of Elsbridge did remind me of something in the game. Between the station and the bridge, there's a bit of track...
I think Edward will indeed be the next engine added alongside Brendam. What's been announced and what we've had so far is decent; this year gave...
It's also unlikely to be a story because I don't think Henry's old shape will be coming to the game anytime soon and it would feel wrong without...
I honestly can't see them adding sheds or the accurate tramway either, unless Dovetail have reworked layouts before in other games. Any changes...
There interestingly is a loop in the RWS, but it's only ever mentioned in one book and completely ignored after.
I meant the three sheds Thomas, Percy and Toby stay at in Season 2 and where they usually sleep in the Railway Series. The only other way we could...
Looks like Toby will indeed be coming to Thomas's branch and not with his Arlesdale End branch from the TVS. That leaves me wondering if the sheds...
It's not a new engine, but a fun idea I recommend with him and any future cosmetics is if you can have multiple of the same character in different...
It likely just meant the cast as a whole, technically anyone could be considered part of the "classic steam team". Derek, Murdoch, Charlie, even...
One of the first locos that come to mind who I could see getting added first aside from Mavis is Philip the little boxcar diesel. All I know about...
I thought this could do with an identifiable thread, and so onto the question. What do we hope for or think will be at Dovetail Direct for WoS?...
There's also what else comes with these engines. The James deluxe adds milk & tar wagons, his own timetable and 4 James stories. I think each...
One take I quite like with this Sodor is the merging of Sports Field Halt where Toryreck should be. Now one thing on Thomas's branch I don't think...
Fleshing out and improving the current lines would be better, the routes will still feel empty in certain areas if the next engine batch is more...
The most I expect we'll get of it is only in maybe a few new story scenarios, like just driving to and stopping at the spot.
We might get a nice roadmap to keep us hyped and busy. Most likely we start off small with an engine or two and an update that adds something like...
Mavis would be nice to switch up Diesel and Percy's quarry shunt schedule.
I won't mind if it's not Henry or Edward being added first, not expecting Toby yet as I feel like they might add Toby's branch linked up to the...
If it's not a new branchline next, then I'd rather this too. Each branchline might start with one or two engines each which will feel small if...
It's possible more will become available with future content, with us not just locked to Thomas. Oliver on the Little Western, Rosie at...
Too soon to talk about sequels too, we're technically only just starting with WoS. We're still in the stage of the game releasing with physicals...
A Dovetail reveal show from what I understand, heard it should take place on the first day of Gamescom. It's possible the event will just be for...
I've heard about a Dovetail Direct is on the way next month, so hopefully some news will come then. Each engine will add something new and fill...
I honestly have mixed feelings about that turntable behind Knapford Platforms 1 & 2. It's nice to have it there so you don't have to go all the...
One of the top stations I'm looking forward to is Kirk Machan on the Peel Godred line. Even if we don't get the mountain engines, it would be nice...
Since we have the "Trust Thomas" lake up Anopha Quarry's way, I found out the "He's fallen in the water!" old pier rail is based at Norramby which...
I'm not sure, but it's possible the island has been shrunk in horizontal width while keeping the vertical width still long enough for a good...
I've been worried that the future extensions like the Brendam branch, Little Western and maybe even the Skarloey Railway will have landscape space...
Not bad ideas. Out of them all, I would love a Magic Railroad add-on of Diesel 10, Lady and Splodge. I had an idea for Diesel 10's claw to be an...
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...
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...
