I know less about Thomas than Paw Patrol (and I don't know that much about Paw Patrol), but I know enough to know Hatt's opinion about engines: “We'll see about that, engines on My Railway do as they are told” "My engines do not tell lies! They work hard with no shirking. I send lazy engines away!" That sounds pretty authoritarian, with final power in a single individual. Point taken. Those paws still uphold the law, and not everyone voluntarily agrees to follow those laws. If you're grumpy now, you might want to avoid a discussion of what "voluntary" means on Sodor. If Toby has no chance of employment elsewhere, then what what happens if he doesn't meet Hatt's requirements for hard work?
