Perhaps the biggest change I'm making from both canons is that Peel Godred is the castle station instead of Ulfstead (it's literally King Godred's castle). The Earl's estate and railway museum is located here, and can be accessed by every gauge railway, including the Arlesdale/MSR and CFR

Suddery is the town square station, seeing as it's the capitol of Sodor and where the mayor lives. The old wharf was rebuilt as the Search & Rescue Center (figures to locate the rescue center at the capitol)

Like the TVS, the loop line exists, allowing main line trains to stop at Elsbridge and enter Tidmouth through the rear. I have an entirely new take on Elsbridge - it's a multi-level station with Thomas' branch running above and the main line below, similar to metro trains IRL

Knapford is mostly as it appears in the books - the junction to Thomas' branch overlooking the old harbour, except with the aesthetic of TVS Elsbridge/Tidmouth Harbour. (most of this map is just RWS track plans with TVS assets)

The old headland track from the TKER was reopened as part of Thomas' branch line to provide an alternate route to control traffic to the big station. It was also briefly used as an express route for the Flying Kipper - until Something In The Air

Tidmouth Harbour is where the Brendam Docks crew from the TVS works, since it's the main line's harbour. It's connection to Thomas, Edward, and Duck's lines as well fixes the inconsistency from the TVS, and is also where the Flying Kipper departs like in the books

So Tidmouth has a track plan similar to the books, except with the visual aesthetic of TVS Knapford. The indoor roundhouse sheds are located within the big yards behind the station

Big thanks to @thegermanofsodor.bsky.social for the assets to the scrapyard route

Toby’s Discovery as well…when Thomas’ branch line was built it included an unopened stretch running up into the hills of Ulfstead, serving the castle and the mine at Cas-ny-Hawin. Additionally, this makes Bertram the MSR mine engine
