How the canon of the television series was messed up because of Sam Wilkinson and how it could& #39;ve been all fixed with one sentence, a thread (1/???)
a lot of the inconsistencies in the cgi series can easily be explained with "cgi is a different canon" and i don& #39;t doubt that, but official says otherwise. All because of the Sam Wilkinson map. It claims all eras of the show from S1-24 are all the same canon (2/???)
This would be fine if not for the fact that the CGI series obviously has some timeline differences from the model era. I will be noting some from The Adventure Begins as that is the easiest candidate to find inconsistencies as it literally takes place in S1 (3/???)
NOTE 1: KELLSTHORPE ROAD
Kellsthorpe isn& #39;t supposed to be build until Season 8& #39;s "Thomas Saves the Day", when they build it for the first time. However, in The Adventure Begins, Gordon goes through it at least 30 years before it& #39;s built. We know that because toby. (4/???)
NOTE 2: HENRY& #39;S SHAPE
This is an obvious one but as a 3D modeller it bugs me to all hell. Henry is portrayed in his new shape, which he gains only after he crashes with the flying kipper, many years later. It wouldn& #39;t be hard to add it either. (4/???)
NOTE 3: SALTY
Salty (4/???)
NOTE 4: TIDMOUTH SHEDS
Why does Tidmouth Sheds have 7 sheds? It should have 6, as it does in Season 1-8. However, it shares the 7 shed style with the sheds from Calling All Engines onward, where it was a key part of the story that it was rebuilt. (7/???)
NOTE 5: JAMES
I absolutley love that they put James in his original black livery here, but its contradictory to S1 so I have to note it. (8/???)
NOTE 6: KIRK RONAN JUNCTION
This isn& #39;t The Adventure Begins but I just have to note it. Despite the Kirk Ronan Branchline existing in the model series, it just can& #39;t in the cgi. Why? Because the junction that would lead to it ends in a buffer stop. And no, cont. (9/???)
the line to the branch can& #39;t just be the other track because that would mean its facing the wrong way and engines cant go on the branch properly. So yeah thats a very large oopsie. (10/???)
I& #39;ll probably add to this thread over time, but all of this shit could& #39;ve been simply avoided if Sam had just said "They& #39;re two different canons" (11/???)
