Um... where's the chat community? Is it like a discord server?

Hope it's not to late to ask a question? But who's your favirote LBSC Terrier? Mines Fenchurch

I hope it isn't too late for my usual 2 Tug. I was a little late due to vacation: 1. Do you ever watch gaming YouTubers like Markiplier or Jacksepticeye? 2. What is your favorite locomotive wheel arrangement? Like a 4-6-2 or something?

1. It hasn't really inspired me to do that per se, but I have had the idea for awhile to do a video talking about what a Season 2 of Tugs would potentially be like. Maybe I'll tackle that this year! 2. Copyright law says something has to exist for 95 years before it's public domain, so Tugs won't enter it until 2083 or so. Semi-related, but the original version of The Three Railway Engines will be public domain in 2040 - only 16 years from now!

The Unlucky Tug

1. I don't think Sodor would fit there realistically, as it's about 60 miles in length I believe, going by the maps. In the Thomas universe, the distance between Man and England is definitely fudged so Sodor can exist between them, haha. 2. No big ties really as far as I know, but it is mentioned in the IOS book that Arlesburgh and Douglas did trade with each other. The name "Sodor" also comes from the diocese "Sodor and Man", which refers to the Isle of Man and any adjecent islets. Kinda cool the name is a real thing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diocese_of_Sodor_and_Man

The Unlucky Tug

1. Has the Lighthouse Edit inspired you to consider making a fan made Tugs Season 2? 2. I know Mickey Mouse just entered the public domain, so is Tugs in the public domain?

This is a dumb question that I've been thinking about: I've *very roughly* measured the waters between Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria and Douglas in the Isle of Man and I've roughly measured it to be 40ish miles wide and 35ish miles tall. Do you think the Island of Sodor would actually fit in that land space? If I may ask 2, did The Railway Series have any ties to the Isle of Man? Seemed to never be mentioned considering it was almost as close as the mainland.
