Touched on in the article, but some of the storylines are quite disturbing. In Henry, Henry doesn't want to spoil his paint in the rain, so hides in a tunnel. The Fat Controller then bricks him up in the tunnel. The Fat Controller. The big tender engines "refuse to shunt like common tank engines"[1]. So the Fat Controller locks them up whilst the tank engines break the strike. Theres a strange plot point, maybe in The Diesel, where Daisy, one of the very few 'female' trains, 'feels something between her axels', which turns out to be an oil leak, might be reading too much into that though... [1] Yes that's a direct quote from a Thomas the Tank Engine book, from memory, on HN. Am I 'leet' yet?
