You mean it's real? Its really really real? All my life I thought it was a made up island! This is Great!

It's fictional. Awdry just invented a hypothetical location.

Go to Google Earth and type in Isle of Man. According to the map in the article, Sodor would be to the right of Isle of Man. Instead, the British Isles and the Irish Sea occupy the space.

Maybe Sodor is an isle like Atlantis .

Is it that big place next to it?

1st of all sry if I didn't say it in time but Happy B-day the lego spongebob sqaurepants fan!
Second of all even if its not the real exact thing, the idea of a semi-related island is still pretty interesting.

[BillingsRR]

Isn't it in-between the Isle of Man and Britian?

Atlantis may actually be real. They believe it is in the Red Sea and it was flooded during the flood in which Noah's Arc sailed. It may not be the original Atlantis, but it is an Atlantis, I guess you could say.

Oh really? Sry for my misinterpretation.

correct. and are there engines on Sodor, like from the RWS, based off of Isle of Man engines?

[branmas]

maybe i can go there......... probably not. but hopefully they are there, working hard at work.

WE do realize we are fantizing over a railway thats possibly not there and to add icing ont the cake the fake island has talking trains that are working!  I swear we are not normal people. We are true-hearted Thomas fans.
