* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Similarly to "[[Recap/ThomasAndFriendsS2E14ACloseShave A Close Shave]]", the episode makes some concessions to account for the models being track-powered that bring up some logic issues; The book has Thomas hope the buffers will stop him, only to see the siding he is running along ''has no buffers'', causing him to run along the road into the stationmaster's house on the other side. Here, [[NoOSHACompliance the track leads straight into the stationmaster's house with no buffers]]. Guess the stationmaster and his family got the raw deal for real estate...

Broken Aesop is now YMMV.

* BrokenAesop: The story is going for a cautionary tale about {{pride}}, but the careless cleaner obliviously changing Thomas' controls means that his humiliating experience with the stationmaster's house would have happened anyway.

Edited Lethally Stupid entry to sound less complain-y.
Added DiffLines:
* LethallyStupid: It's not a good idea to build a house at the end of a train track without any buffers. If not for ArtisticLicense, the stationmaster and his family would have almost certainly been killed by Thomas crashing through their wall.

* TheArtifact: The original Railway Series story was written so that Thomas could be sent to the Works to be mended and come back with a flat running board. When he comes back in the TV series, however, he still has the distinct dip in his running board.

* TooDumbToLive: The stationmaster and his family live in a house that was built at the end of a train track, with no buffers for protection. [[FailedASpotCheck They never realise anything wrong with this.]] They would have all been seriously injured at best and most likely killed, if the same accident happened in real life.
