It was back in the 1940s when the stories of Thomas The Tank Engine were first penned and the name of the man behind then stories was Rev W V Awdry.
That`s because the island of Sodor is the home for Thomas The Tank Engine and it`s where he happily spends his days pulling his coaches named Annie and Clarabel. Mention the island of Sodor to children and they will probably be more than familiar with this location.
