railsquid Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 You know, where Thomas and friends are at home... I just found out that while it's entirely fictitious of course, the good Rev. Awdry had actually mapped out a detailed location and history for it, and it was supposedly an island between the coast of Cumbria and the Isle of Man. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodor_(fictional_island) "Meh, whatever", you might say. Well I grew up on the Cumbrian coast within sight of that fictitious island, now I can spend the rest of my life boring people with that anecdote. 3 2 Link to comment
