Track Plans

Here you can post track-plans for locations on Sodor, including both Railway Series and television series track-plans.

SiF has a good archive on track plans if you are looking to build a layout.

Can you also post ideas for Wooden Railway layouts on here?

This is more for TVS/RWS locations, not wooden railway.

Oh, I see. May I make a thread for fan-made layouts (if there isn't one already)?

What does it mean to host an image?

You can put up a picture by your words. (It never seems to work for me, though.)

this is on a different matter but both of your avatars are from the same episode XD

Where is the archive? Can you post/link it please.

This is a plan of Tidmouth which came from an old Thomas magazine I had. I love how it's been set out and I'm sure that there a few more plans in other issues. I hope someone can verify this. Enjoy.

I've drawn up a few track plans, but they're all probably illegible. I'll remake them at some point and post them.

Can someone tell me how I can post pictures that will actually show up in my post, like with jdogman's?

Post it in a Photobucket or Imgur account if you have one and copy the link from it to be used on forums.

If I ever get around to doing track layouts again, I'll share them here; truth be told, and I never understood why, but whenever I put my layouts together, I always started with my tidmouth sheds and grew from there... Weird, isn't it?

It's what I do with my Trackmaster stuff, actually, although when I'm drawing track plans it varies.

Anyway, jdogman, I hate to break it to you, but that is not a very accurate track plan. The main line is three tracks, Tidmouth Sheds has 6-7 berths, the sidings and glass canopy at Tidmouth Station are missing, and Lower Tidmouth/Tidmouth Harbour are gone entirely! My guess is that that is intended as a crude map, not a trackplan.

I'd agree with that. As a general representation, I think it works, but its not 100% accurate.

How does Crovans Gate work? Is there a map?

It's pretty straightforward as near as I can tell. There aren't any points or anything. I'll see if I can sketch a rough trackplan.

How does the Skarloey get to the Steamworks? Where is the Steamworks?

I believe in Season 15 you could see a NG track coming out of the rear of the Steamworks. However, it would be hard to pinpoint anything without a detailed TVS Map of Crovans Gate. We only have RWS drawings and a rough idea of the TV version.

Im going to say right now: If I was an engine, Id get lost.
