Encyclopedia : D : DR : DRY : Dryaw

Dryaw is a fictional village on the equally fictional Island of Sodorfrom the Railway Series books by Rev. W. Awdry and Christopher Awdry, and the television series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

It is located on Thomas' branch line being the first station after the junction at Knapford, and is most notable in the stories for its airfield. This is the home of Harold, the helicopter owned by the Coastguard. It was here that Percy made his promise to get the Vicar's Sunday School back safely.

In the TV series the station is shown to have a small footbridge that runs over the rails and runs from the platform on one side to the platform on the other side. Dryaw also has a small picket fence running at the edge of the platform, separating the platform from the airfield.

On the maps of Sodor drawn to accompany the Railway Series, Dryaw is shown to have two stations the passenger one and a goods only one on the Knapford Harbour line, which according to the Awdry family's "histories" of Sodor was the origional station.

The name is an anagram of "Awdry".
