Brendam (T&F)/Behind the Scenes

Background Information
Brendam is a fictional town on the south coast of the Brendam penninsula on the Island of Sodor created by the Rev. W. Awdry. It is the terminus for the Brendam Branch Line.

The station first appeared in the second series episode Cows, which first aired in 1986. Its last appearance was in the fourth series episode Train Stops Play, which was released in 1995.

Gauge 1 models
Brendam made its first on-screen appearance in the second series of the television series, replacing Tidmouth Harbour as Sodor's main port. Early concept art shows that the station was originally supposed to be much larger, rivalling Knapford in terms of size, with three canopies and eight tracks. The final model was scaled back heavily from this, with two canopies spanning three tracks.
