Railway Stories from Sodor is a model railway series created in 2011 by SacredWolfie Media.
The series is a mixture of adapted story writings by The Rev .W. Awdry and Christopher Awdry. It focuses mainly on the happenings on Sodor between the 1980s and Present Day, it does feature a lot of new and original characters, but unlike the Television Series nowadays, these characters do get used more often than once in each episode produced.
The main cast of characters is the same as that seen in the TV show, with the exception that Emily is not one of the main steam team, that place is being saved for Duck when he is released by Bachmann later this year! Some of the stories in this series are adapted from the Annuals, which focus on the Series One and Two period.
The pilot episode of this model series is based on the story 'Edward & Gordon' which sees James making Edward feel rotten when he is late, but soon realizes his mistake when Edward later has to help him, when he too becomes late at the junction!
There are also morals to each story, which will be tackled at the end of each episode in small segments about bullying, friendships e.t.c. So as well as being a fun and creative series, it also gives out messages about being grown up and learning to deal with everyday life.
We hope that you will continue to enjoy the series, as it progresses further. At current there are only three episodes, due to the forth being delayed due to problem with Gordon, which will soon be fixed.
