That's not the case at all, Thomas is always doing things he shouldn't for fun, like disturbing sleeping trains (Gordon), winding up trains with remarks (also Gordon), passing warning boards in mines, and falling into subsiding mines[0]. Then there's not being nice to trucks, refusing to pull trucks, panicking from a near-collision and running away, ignoring advice from more-experiences engines and losing a head of steam, deliberately causing passengers to get wet, … The ones where they do as they're asked to are the minority… I don't recall any instances when an engine was directed to ignore a rule by a driver or the Fat Controller. 0: http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Down_the_Mine http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Down_the_Mine

> The ones where they do as they're asked to are the minority. As I told you I only sampled a few episodes (4-5), and servility and/or racism (Diesel) were present in most of them, without any distance or criticism. I'm glad there are other themes, but I don't want to watch every episode before I show them to my kids, so I avoid the series altogether. Edit: BTW, By Diesel, I meant Trucks, that's how they are called in the French translation.
