Description
Sodor: The Early Years, is a series that attempts to capture the feeling of the Railway Series, while telling original stories.
I'm afraid I don't do Trainz model or story requests, and I do not take character/model requests. Also, please do not swear in the comments for my videos.
Please do not ask about release dates for models or episodes. Any comments asking for such will be instantly deleted.
Please note, the target audience for this channel is not children, but grown-up fans of the show who still enjoy it. As such, it does cover some darker topics like suicide and illness and mental health.
My models are available to download on my website: https://wildnorwester.wixsite.com/wnw201...

Sidney and Paxton will be joining the cast of STMY from Season 3. I've decided to depict them as Class 09s, which means they can pull trains as well as shunt. However, their TV series versions are Class 08, as in the TV series.

I've had a few questions about NWR numbering in my series, so I'll explain it here.
Numbers 1-6 - Thomas through to Percy, as per the Railway Series.
Number 7 - was originally Neville, who arrived during WW2. In 1948, when British Rail was formed, his lease from the Southern Railway was cancelled and he was sent back. Hence, the number 7 slot was free. It was then given to Toby, when he arrived in 1951.
Number 8 - Originally Duck, who arrived in 1955. However, upon learning of the Q1s being withdrawn in 1963, Sir Charles Topham Hatt recovered Neville and brought him into the NWR works. To conceal this from British Rail, the paperwork was rearranged so that Neville became number 8, with Duck now recorded under his GWR number of 5741, which he still carried on him. Neville's restoration and rebuild was completed in the late 1990s and he was put into service during the events of STEY 'Darkest Hour'/'Desperate Times'.
Numbers 9 & 10 - Donald & Douglas.
Number 11. Originally given to Molly when she visited in 1964. After she left, the number was held in case she wanted to return, and Oliver was put on the books under his GWR number of 1436. By the late 1990s, it was clear that Molly wasn't going to return. So when Janet arrived, they gave her that number.
Number 12 - Eric.
Number 13 - Benson. He asked for this number upon joining the railway, even though their numbering wasn't up to this back then. He believed it lucky.
Number 14 - Sheffield.
Number 15 - Peter.
Number 16 - Lily, following her recovery and restoration.
Number 17 - Rowan.
This means that the next new arrival, Rosie, will be number 18.
Also, Alice runs under her GNR number, 288.

Hi all,
This is Janet, a former LNER K2 class who works on the North-West Railway. Her crew hid her from British Rail in the late 1950s, then approached the North-West Railway in 1997 when BR was dissolved. She was one of the K2s who worked in Scotland.
She's part of the 'Barrow Bunch' along with Neville, Caden and Shane (now NWR D9). These engines are based at Barrow-in-Furness, and look after mainline traffic.
I recorded the making of Janet's model in Trainz, and will be doing a series of videos showing how I made her. This will probably be done after STMY Season 3 goes up.

Slight update to STMY lore. Rosie will now be a NWR engine, as their no. 18.

Have to admit, I didn't expect it today, but then I realised Australia is a day ahead of U.S. & I was like "Yes! That means Fridays are Barry parts! Huzzah!"

Wow! Barry looks almost as bad as Trevor was back in that scrap yard in Vicarstown!

78018 has the number of a BR Standard 2MT but he looks more like an Ivatt 2MT. Interesting. Great job anyway!

In the works when James arrived, boco and Percy were in the works. Then in the next scene Percy had changed into daisy.

This story is especially fantastic and well written, but I do have one problem with it. If The Fat Controller really thought it was best if a steam engine like James took Barry to the works, then why is a diesel like Patrick taking him to the yards?

Is Barry, by chance, a standard type 2 engine (2MT)?

I like how you take The Railway Series world as the setting for these. Keep up the good work!
