I don't know why, but I've just had a suden urdge to do Sodor Island for Thomas. I have no skills whatsoever at route building so it's going to be c**p but anyway, what the hell :drinking:

It's been attempted before, by a couple of people, but all have come to an end with it for one reason or another.
Go for it! There is a lot of market that is interested.

I guess you're concerned about copyright Matt, so if you have to remove them so be it.

I had to turn my monitor sideways to read them

I'm not sure if displaying them here doesn't come under the heading of 'fair use' for the purposes of criticism, research, etc. Would it be US or UK Copyright law which applies, given that Atomic is a British company, but the servers are in the US?

lol, maybe that was Matt's intention? Make the copyright really complicated so anyone investigating it just thinks ". to this account" and moves on. hehehe, We did that at my old work

OOps!
