* JerkassWoobie: Henry in the earlier series was frequently prone to unpleasant behavior that wouldn't be out of place when it comes to Gordon and James. However, he has also been on the receiving end of the other engines viewing his blatantly poor health condition as just him being lazy, and show him little to no sympathy for this. After his rebuild, Henry later stuck to the jerkass territory, but his later character development into a more soft-hearted personality makes him firmly stand in regular woobie territory without any negatives.

* AccidentalAesop: In the episode "Thomas Comes to Breakfast", Thomas's driver tells him that he's doing so well that soon he won't even need a driver anymore! [[IWasJustJoking Unaware that his driver was joking]], Thomas recklessly takes this to heart and goes out on what he thinks is his own the next day (as a result of a careless cleaner who accidentally meddled with his controls)... an adventure that is soon over when he crashes through the wall of a house, because without a driver, he can't stop. So basically, don't ever take responsibility for your actions or do things without an adult's help, even if they encouraged you to do it, because you'll cause destruction and possibly death.

** "Trouble in the Shed", while intending to have James, Gordon, and Henry being left "cold, lonely, and miserable" because they had "been so silly", actually ''does'' end up showcasing that strikes ''do'' work. The issue is that the tender engines have to pick up the slack doing Thomas's job after he was given his own branchline - and while they do view it as beneath them, the Fat Controller actually [[StrawmanHasAPoint does see their point]] that they ''do'' need another engine.

* ValuesResonance: "Trouble in the Shed" showcases that strikes actually ''do'' work - but also it showcases that when someone leaves a work site for whatever reason, the others have to pick up the slack which can [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome lead to less productivity]].

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Rosie's original pink livery has been derided by many fans for being unrealistic. While pink is rare and mostly reserved for special events, some engines in real life have worn a pink livery, such as [[https://www.railpictures.net/images/d2/6/4/7/8647.1527761115.jpg this FLXdrive battery locomotive]] and [[https://live.staticflickr.com/7263/27023782041_027f6fc28e_b.jpg this class C12 steam engine]] at Wakasa Railway in Japan.

* AudienceColoringAdaptation: With the exception of ''heavily'' stylized and deviant adaptations, almost every fan-made story or video based on the series is primarily themed after the first seven seasons or "Arc Productions era" pre-BWBA CGI episodes (season's 17-21), since they're considered the show's best seasons.
