Description Percy is sent along the old branch line between Knapford and Dryaw to help repair some damaged telegraph poles. Don't ask why they needed Percy or any engine to do it, that's not important. 

Been working on a RWS Tidmouth-Knapford, and for accuracy sake I included the pre-1955 Knapford. This set is based on an illustration from Thomas and the Guard, only I made it kinda derelict. Vicarstown's on hold until I can get a couple of custom assets from some friends, so until then, enjoy progress on this. 

~Sending an engine on an old, unmaintained line is not only impractical, it's unsafe too. Don't try this at home, kids.~

This sounds really great. Good luck! If you need some help on where each location is placed, you can ask me if you want

Actually I do have a question. Does the pre-1955 branch line connect to the Dryaw goods station or passenger station?

The old branch line first connects to the new line at Thomas and Bertie's level crossing (which explains what Daisy is doing there in "Thomas Comes Home"). You can see that level crossing on the maps. Just after Knapford.

But later, it diverts again from it, and then finally connects to Dryaw's goods station.

I added information on the Wikia if you want to check out there too.

Sir Topham Hatt: "We need another engine to pull the branch line special"
Stationmaster: "There's only Percy, Sir."
Sir Topham Hatt: "Hmm, you'll have to do it Percy. Be quick now."
