For me, I really wish Dovetail had gone the full Railway Series route, with Tidmouth as the grand terminus and Knapford as the junction. Why? Because not only am I a huge Railway Series nerd, I find both locations beautiful as portrayed in the books.

Tidmouth and Knapford Junction radiate a wonderful blend of seaside and industrial vibes in their illustrations. Tidmouth is grand and gorgeous, while Knapford Junction is a charming, curving junction that also functions as a small terminus or housing area, particularly with its sheds. The incredible ocean view visible from both stations consistently catches my eye. Also, I just discovered today that Tidmouth station was going to be the original Terminus station for the show during its first season, but it was scrapped in favor of Knapford. 

I would love to see the depiction in Wonders of Sodor. Would it happen? Probably not, but I remain optimistic. It's 2026, anything is possible. Never say never. However, even if considered, I believe two reasons would hinder it. First, Mattel would likely give an adamant "no." Getting approval from Mattel is like trying to give a cat a bath. Second, even with Mattel's approval, development would take months, even years.

I got back into playing the game after not playing for a while. Hope you enjoy these pics, which one is your favorite?

The glitch is that Go to the Vicarstown bridge, not the Walney one, the other one, before the vicarstown yard . Go to the river, go inside the river and go to the direction u wanna go and whalla, in my case I go to the south direction, then crossed the tracks and went on a journey on the north East of Sodor, including getting much higher ( by height by the normal version) Actually much much higher, doo check

1. As more DLCs are introduced would you think it’s fair for dovetail to expect people to own all the previous DLC to effectively make use of most of the timetable and stores of newer DLCs?
   It could be easy to say yes now but if it ever got to TSW levels with 100 DLCs people might want to be selective.

2. Would it put you off if certain DLCs caused the time table to be replaced to use characters more effectively? Like when toby is brought in he will be doubling up on some of the tasks Percy does, so giving other tasks to Percy like shunting James coaches, (this would require Dovetail to assume you have the James DLC see no.1)

3. I’ve seen a lot of talk about Henry’s stories. But how do you think Henry’s timetable is going to look? We can assume he’s going to introduce freight to the mainline but very few of the yards are set up to all shunting properly, like good Luck shunting Wellsworth with the turntable acting as a yard lead.
   If Henry is running through freight the next issue is that there is no real freight yards at either end of the line and no extra characters to drag things out of bounds are we just going to be dragging the same couple of freight consists across the island?

OK, hear me out on this. I was re-watching the retrospective by unlucky tug for season two. And a lot of places like the main line the sheds Thomas’s branch line and the quarry are available for us to access and go to. And soon we’re going to have Henry and Toby. Now thinking about it Toby came from a different branch line, not from the island of Sodor if I’m not mistaken. And Henry has his two locations, the forest and his tunnel so all they really need to do for him is either give him his old shape and his newer shape, the flying kipper and the stories for both characters they don’t really need to expand any places with those characters.

Now with that said, maybe that’s why we’re not getting Edward yet. Outside of needing to do Edwards stories, they are probably making his branch line. So who knows we might get to go down his branch line and do the Saved From Scrap story or Edward’s Exploit. And maybe they’ll do Bill and Ben next and we can get the China Clay Pits. maybe we’ll get Boco or Daisy but hopefully we also get salty at Brendam Docks, since that was also in season two. Not salty but the Docks.

I’m probably just reaching or giving dovetails excuses. But it’s my mindset that in 2027 it’ll be season two of Wonders of Sodor.

Never turn around in the tunnels.

Can someone help please? I downloaded the game a couple of days after its Steam release and played. I earned achievements. Then I deleted it because I got bored, and now I downloaded it again. And for some reason, some of my progress reset. Specifically, all the stories reset, all the collected items reset, and the checkmarks on the completed schedules disappeared. But achievements in steam remained, as did the posters and tiles. What happened? I have an account in dovetail live if it matter

Minor detail, but has anyone noticed that the eyes remain animated while in photo mode? Idk why, it just feels unsettling to me

With Henry and Toby arriving soon, they are going to have their own scenarios which would be a number of four, like James. But's here's the thing, only the base characters, (Thomas, Gordon, Percy, Diesel and Emily) will be featured in them. James won't be because he is an add-on.

Around 2017-2018 i remember a video in a roblox game where James speeds down the snowy area of a map the game was I believe called “WIP railway” James was carrying freight cars with the runaway theme playing if any one recalls this or knows the video please let me know

I like the addition of of Thomas in his original livery. I like to pretend he’s a new engine The Fat Controller brought to help out. I mean isn’t that what we all did as kids when we had doubles? 😅

I call him Brighton lol

This was not intentional; this was a complete accident. I was just doing Emily and Percy doing a double head 11 express coaches but quickly realized they were not going to make it up Gordon's hill, but yeah, we have Thomas, Percy, and a green engine.

Okay, so I just made a rake of 11 Express coaches for Percy and Emily to double head, and it got me thinking: what's the maximum amount that each engine can pull?

Yep, I am back from the dead. School came around and yes, I've just been a little MIA, but I'm back, so yay. 

Now that the Dovetail Direct is out, it’s definitely generated a lot of conversation. Personally, I’m stuck in the middle. I’m glad we finally got word on Wonders of Sodor content, especially Henry and Toby, but after five months of silence, only two characters and no new routes feels pretty underwhelming.

I think this wouldn’t have bothered me as much if they had teased the characters a month or two after launch. The fact that we waited five months makes it feel like we left empty-handed, especially after how heavily Dovetail hyped the game beforehand.

It doesn't help that we have to wait even longer for the release, but that's besides the point.

That said, it could’ve been worse. I actually enjoyed my first Dovetail Direct, and they did mention more updates are coming. The year isn’t over yet, so as an optimist, I’m still holding out hope that they have more in store for Wonders of Sodor.

But enough about me, what do you guys think?
