Sodor Island 3D, often abbreviated SI3D, was back then the main and largest creator of Thomas Trainz content.
History
SI3D was founded around January 2009, when MSTNoodle removed his Trainz content from the UKBL web. With no other Trainz Thomas sites, SI3D was launched, with their first model being James. They produced Trainz 2006 content until July 2010, when they switched to Trainz 2009, featuring the "baked" look on the engines. After almost 3 years, they began the 2010 range, which featured metallic paint, steam generating whistles, and eye direction. Their last 2010 model was Percy, and in November 2013, they switched again to Trainz 2012. These were the same, only they were a bit larger and featured 3D faces. In December 2015, they started making CGI variants of the 2012 models as well. They resumed their Railway Series models in September 2016. Currently, their Island of Sodor Route runs from Knapford to Kellsthorpe with the full Ffarquhar and Brendam branch as well. They also have a RWS route of the Ffarquhar Branch from Knapford to the harbor.
Site co-founder Sean O'Connor shut down Sodor Island 3D on January 27, 2018, citing supposed "lack of respect". The main trigger was when a user uploaded the old 2010 content on DeviantArt, and was very rude to the SI3D staff when asked to take it down. A fake site has been created by Nick Boggia online with some of the models reuploaded, but has since been taken down
