Place Within The TV Series
There are some aspects of the film that do not coincide with the TV series. While the new sheds at Tidmouth and the Sodor Airport appear in the following seasons, the conflict between steam and diesel engines is yet to be permanently resolved in the series. Additionally, Diesel 10 and Lady have never been seen within a story of the TV series, so there is some debate that they belong to a continuity exclusive to the films, rather than the TV series.

Famous quotes containing the words place and/or series:
“Everything necessarily is or is not, and will be or will not be; but one cannot divide and say that one or the other is necessary. I mean, for example: it is necessary for there to be or not to be a sea-battle tomorrow; but it is not necessary for a sea-battle to take place tomorrow, or for one not to take place—though it is necessary for one to take place or not to take place.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
