Sights of Sodor - Glennock Station

This week on the Island of Sodor, we journey up the line to see Glennock Station in the evening! Watch the little narrow gauge engines hurry home at the end of the day by checking out the latest video!

Did I do a good job recreating the set from the TV series?

When I wrote the scripts for Season 2 this station was known as Glennock, but I guess since then there has been an official map of Sodor and now it has been confirmed that this is technically Skarloey Station, but I kept the original name that I used all throughout Season 2. This is a really nice looking station. I made it out of foam like most of the other buildings.

I mentioned back in the River Bridge post that I had a couple of new ideas I implemented into Season 2. Well on top of cloudy skies, I've also added evening skies and lighting scenes. I'm really happy with the way they turned out, they add a little extra to the story.

What do you think of the custom buildings I've made? Also, what do you think of the evening scenes? Would a whole episode taking place during the evening be cool? Let us know by commenting down below or in the YouTube comments section. I always appreciate feedback from my fans.

Sights of Sodor - Restored Quarry

This week on the Island of Sodor, we journey up the line to see Bertram the Old Warrior at work! Watch Bertram shunt a train for Sir Handel by checking out the latest video!

Truth is I didn't even try to replicate the mine. I had fun making it my own original location.

I originally never planned to use any characters after season 4 of the TV series in my show, but when I saw Bertram was made for TrackMaster I knew that there was so much potential with his character that I decided to include him and the other season 5 characters. Bertram was a character that only appeared in 1 episode in season 5 of the TV series and has so much potential because he was never explored. So in my series, the quarry that he worked at has been restored and is up and running again like a normal quarry with Bertram running the whole show with the help of the other narrow gauge engines.

Sights of Sodor - S Track

This week on the Island of Sodor, we journey up the line to see the S Track! Watch the little narrow gauge engines journey up and down the line throughout the whole day by checking out the latest video! 

Does my set look like the one in the TV series?

So truthfully, I don't actually know the real name of this location. It is seen in several Season 4 episodes of the TV series, but it doesn't have a specific name. If you watch the comparison of Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady you will probably be able to see which location I'm trying to replicate. The name I gave this set, S Track, is because of the way the track bends in the TV series location. It isn't entirely and S, but I didn't know what else to call it.

Sights of Sodor - Roadway Friends

This week on the Island of Sodor, we journey up the line to see our roadway friends at work! Watch the vehicles of Sodor doing their work by checking out the latest video!

I've always been fond of the roadway friends on Sodor. I think they give a variety to the episodes. They make it so it isn't always just about the railway, but the other people who live on Sodor too. You'll get to see a couple of episodes in season 2 that are just about roadway friends so you'll have to check back often to see them in action.

Sights of Sodor - River Bridge

This week on the Island of Sodor, we journey up the line to see the River Bridge! Watch the little narrow gauge engines journey up and down the line as they pass by this bridge by checking out the latest video!

Does my set look like the one in the TV series?

I said before that the first episode I ever saw was "Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady" and I loved this scene as Peter Sam went over the bridge with the blue coaches. For this little sneak peak I wanted to be creative and show off one of the new ideas that I came up with after season 1 was completed. This idea was using a gray backdrop to represent an overcast or cloudy sky. This allowed me to have stormy scenes without it being nighttime like in "The Plumber's Express." I'm really happy with the way it turned out and it sparked a couple of other ideas that I've implemented into Season 2. I won't spoil anything. I'll just let you guys spot them later.
