I realised recently that I had made quite a lot of posts on this blog about heraldry relating to The Railway Series, so much that it almost became a topic in itself. Since this is not a topic which I have seen extensively covered elsewhere, I had the idea of collating all the scattered bits of information into one comprehensive catalogue, which helps me keep track of what I’ve done as well as serving as a template for other fans and researchers, so that we I, and they, do not need to repeatedly crawl through multiple separate articles.

These, by the way, are the posts which are being collated:

• A Shield for Wilbert (24/05/2020)
• Islanders’ Arms (23/10/2021)
• I Might Have Known (12/11/2023)
• Awdry Arms Again (07/03/2024)

This will be a dynamic list as I still expect to find new entries, but updates will continue to be mentioned in blog posts while the page itself will integrate them into what was already there. I’m hoping to eventually cover every example of heraldic description or design in the entirety of both the book and television series, as well as establishing a proper armorial for the Awdry family in real life. Sadly, my research into that particular avenue has not progressed much since my last post on it.

Here it is. I’ve made it as a page rather than a post and elevated it to a direct link in the main menu for ease of visibility. If this works out I may give the same treatment to some of my other projects in the future.
