[edit] Isle of
I thought it was called Isle Of Sodor. From what I've heard it's locatet just between Scotland and Ireland... True?
- "Isle" and "Island" are often interchangeable terms. The article clearly states:
- Sodor is supposed to be in the Irish Sea, between the Isle of Man and Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria.

- And just for the record Cumbria is in England not Scotland Penrithguy 21:13, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sodor - a Crown dependency?
Is Sodor suppossed to be a Crown dependency like the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands or is it a constituient part of the United Kingdom or even a county of England.
Also as I have never read any of the "histories" of Sodor written by the Awdry family if Sodor is a seperate entity to the UK then how is it subdivided? Or did the Awdrys never explain this? Penrithguy 20:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Marthwaite vs. Maithwaite
Close examination of the maps on this page http://www.pegnsean.net/~railwayseries/mapsection.htm show Marthwaite to be correct. It seems that some years ago somebody mis-read it as Maithwaite and this has spread. The maps are from the original books which came before toys and TV series. -=# Amos E Wolfe talk #=- 13:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Big or Small?
Is Sodor big or small? Felix 22:56, 15 July 2006
Sodor's dimensions are mentioned in the article as is the fact that the TV version seems to be larger Penrithguy 10:32, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

- Felix, on the Sodor Island Forums site I believe there is a fan fiction section why not join up to the Forums and write your own stories about these engines you have created just one question why would a railway in the British Isles have so many American locomotives?

At least it's lucky the Island of Sodor is bigger in the television show. Felix 17:18, 11 August 2006
[edit] Fictional Places
I have removed the paragraph listing the places on the island, linking it to Fictional Locations (The Railway Series). More information can be added there, as can other small places not yet mentioned - this page is primarily for the Railway Series, and not for Television info. A page for that may be created in the future. Mdcollins1984 15:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
