|
| rdfs:comment | - There are many fictional locations in Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, the television series based on The Railway Series of children's books by the Rev. W. Awdry and his son Christopher. They are all located on the Island of Sodor. The TV series features a number of stations and railway installations at towns and villages with names based on locations from the books. However, apart from the names, they have little or nothing else in common.

| abstract | - There are many fictional locations in Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, the television series based on The Railway Series of children's books by the Rev. W. Awdry and his son Christopher. They are all located on the Island of Sodor. The Island of Sodor in the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends television series differs significantly from that in The Railway Series books. The comprehensive history and geography of the island and its railways, developed by the Rev. Awdry and his brother George to ensure consistent portrayal in the stories, has largely been ignored. The television version of Sodor appears considerably larger, and has far more industry. It does not appear to be connected to the Mainland. Furthermore, the portrayal of the island has varied between series as different models have been used over the years. The TV series features a number of stations and railway installations at towns and villages with names based on locations from the books. However, apart from the names, they have little or nothing else in common. This is a summary of the locations as they appear in the television series. For the very different perspective of The Railway Series, see Fictional Locations (The Railway Series) (direct links are also provided below, where appropriate).
