Thomas and Friends Canon Interpretation

Given that the TV series Thomas and Friends serves as the basis for the 3WSR universe, it is important to clarify that while some aspects are considered canon, others are not. The following is the accepted Canon interpretation for Thomas and Friends to the 3WSR universe:
THE RAILWAY SERIES:
With the exception of Pip and Emma, all Railway Series stories and characters are officially canon to the 3WSR universe. Pip and Emma are currently in a gray area; while they have been brought up, their role is not established, as Gordon still pulls the express. This may be covered in a future arc.
THE TV SERIES:
All episodes in Seasons 1-6, and most episodes in season 7 are considered canon, as are all episodes in season 17 onwards. The following Season 7 episodes are not canon to the 3WSR universe:
.The Old Bridge
.Rheneas and the Roller Coaster
.Percy Gets It Right
.Edward's Brass Band
Seasons 8-16, being considered the "dark era" of the series, are not canon to the 3WSR Universe, and are considered "bad dreams" the engines had.
THOMAS AND THE MAGIC RAILROAD:
This movie both is and isn't canon to the universe. The parts that are canon, derive from the original cut that was meant to be released, such as P.T. Boomer. However, for our story, rather than Diesel 10 being a bad guy outright, he was manipulated by Boomer to do Boomer's bidding. Other changes include- Sodor isn't a "magical far away island populated by talking trains." It is an island located between England and the Isle of Mann, as it is in the Sodor universe. The "gold dust" aspect is ignored, but Lady and Burnett Stone are part of the canon (to be explored in a future work). In short, some aspects are canon, and others are not- to be discussed further in the future.
TV SPECIALS-
CALLING ALL ENGINES- Unknown, TBD
THE GREAT DISCOVERY- Unknown, TBD
HERO OF THE RAILS- Probably not; while Hiro is canon to the 3WSR Universe, his background story for being the "oldest engine on Sodor" and "the only engine" is nonsense and contradicts Railway Series canon. This was addressed in the old forum, but a thread deletion also resulted in the clarification being lost.
MISTY ISLAND RESCUE- Completely Non-canon. The island exists, but has been overtaken to suit our story's purposes, and the logging locos only appear in a comedic way that shows how bad they are.
DAY OF THE DIESELS- Unknown, TBD
BLUE MOUNTAIN MYSTERY- Unknown, TBD
KING OF THE RAILWAY- Canon
TALE OF THE BRAVE- Canon
LEGEND OF THE LOST TREASURE- Canon
