Re: Future of the Railway Series

But getting back on track for this thread:

Although there has been no news, I think a new book this year about the Skaroey railway would've been appropriate, considering that it is Talyllyn and Dolgoch's 150th birthday. And by extension, Skarloey and Rheneas'

Cut off there?

I agree; it would work well.

The last book said THE END! Get over it!

by Diesel 11 Tue Aug 25, 2015 3:14 pm

We can't!!

I think that they should just publish the ERS from SiF. They are great books!

by Frankthetriviaman Wed Aug 26, 2015 4:35 am

Really? I'll have to check those out when I get to SiF

by Diesel 11 Thu Aug 27, 2015 5:43 pm

I think you should. They get 10/10 on my list.

The only problem is that it would take a while and I don't think it'd work that well. It'd cause issues like Rosie being in the RWS now for some reason, along with other things.

by Diesel 11 Tue Sep 01, 2015 2:36 pm

Rosie is in the ERS?

You're right, though. It'd take the magic away from SiF.

by PolkaDotSideplates Tue Sep 01, 2015 10:29 pm

I still wonder why Rosie was introduced but Emily wasnt.

Where can I find the extended railway series? It sounds interesting.

by Diesel 11 Wed Sep 02, 2015 3:03 pm

The guide to it is here: http://www.sodor-island.net/ersdatabase/ To read the actual books, though, you have to be on SiF. ( http://sodor.proboards.com )

Thanks; I'll be sure to check them out when I get the chance.

I think it's safe to say the Railway Series won't be adding more installments. But I think they'll be remembered.

by PolkaDotSideplates Mon Sep 14, 2015 9:53 pm

Maybe someone else will take over (exactly who I haven't the foggiest though)

by Diesel 11 Thu Sep 17, 2015 5:08 pm

Perhaps Richard Awdry?

by Loco123456 Thu Sep 17, 2015 8:08 pm

I would like to see Bear, the Works Diesel, and Wilbert.

by Doc Knickerbocker Thu Sep 17, 2015 9:39 pm

I feel that, with the state of the series, either option (Either Chris, Richard, or someone else takes up the torch, or not) is very possible.

by DonaldDouglasandToby6 Thu Sep 17, 2015 10:10 pm

Maybe Richard will get into it though I wouldn't get my hopes up.

by PolkaDotSideplates Thu Sep 17, 2015 11:24 pm

I especially wouldnt get my hopes up for Wilbert: he's left already.

Ha ha.

I get why you're laughing, but I donz likez it.

by Diesel 11 Fri Sep 18, 2015 12:20 am

Back on topic: Anyone want to contact Richard and ask him if he wants to do it/ask him to do it/force him to do it?

by PolkaDotSideplates Fri Sep 18, 2015 12:22 am

Or ask Brenner if he would like to take over?

by Diesel 11 Fri Sep 18, 2015 12:26 am

Say, that's the best idea yet. Andrew Brenner taking over!

"Thomas & Friends, based on the Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry, Christopher Awdry, and Andrew Brenner.
Written by Andrew Brenner."

That's actually a good idea, and I'm not being sarcastic. What say we contact Rich & Andy?

by Loco123456 Fri Sep 18, 2015 1:00 am

I would take the torch, and continue the RWS til I die.
