This thread just needs to exist. I mean, the Skarloey railway has so many different forms. There is the railway series form with Ivo Hugh and Fred, the early TVS form with Bertram, Thumper, Mightymac, Freddie, Madge, and Colin, there is the CGI series form with the Steamworks, Ulfstead, Blue Mountain Quarry, Luke, Merrik, and Owen, and when you combine all this it makes for an almost as expansive railway as the NWR. Here we can give our opinions on the railway
IMO all the characters can be canon if you rework things, like have 7 be Freddie's MSR number and it was changed soon after he arrived on the SKR, and Bertram could have been rebuilt into a tank engine, and then a hybrid engine, working as both a tank and tender engine with a bunker and tender, like the new wooden railway model, and have Thumper work at Blue Mountain Quarry.
In my Wooden Railway Canon, all the characters are canon, with some modifications, such as having 7 be Freddie's MSR number and it was changed soon after he arrived on the SKR.
Bertram was rebuilt into a tank engine, and then a hybrid engine, working as both a tank and tender engine with a bunker and tender, like the new wooden railway model.
Thumper works at Blue Mountain Quarry.
The Star Tugs and Zed Stacks both have contracts with the NWR, but only the Stars work at the Wharf with the SKR.
In my HO canon which used ERTLs the Arlesdale and Culdee Fell railways don't exist and instead the engines work on the Skarloey, and Bertram stays a tender engine, but only stuff from seasons 1-7 exists
In my Trainz canon Freddie was sold to another railway after working on the MSR, and never the Skarloey, but then at a reunion Freddie visits Duke, Bertram, Sir Handel, and Peter Sam on the Skarloey, and my completely reworked Dash works on the railway as well.
And then that's all my canons besides 3wsr, but the Skarloey never did much in 3wsr, actually I'd say that the Culdee Fell had more stuff going on than the Skarloey. What are your opinions of the Skarloey Railway's various features?
