** It's worth noting that a FunnyBackgroundEvent in "Diesel and the Ducklings" seems to imply that Diesel's crew are just as bad as he is, which would go miles in explaining how he gets away with so many bad deeds. That does nothing to explain the misdeeds/mishaps of other engines, though.

though. Or, for that matter, why Diesel's crew can't be replaced with a crew that's actually responsible; Diesel can't exactly be unemployed without being sent to the scrapyard, which would be a major case of DisproportionateRetribution even for as much trouble as Diesel causes, but his crew should have been fired after the first time Diesel's antics caused problems for the railway company.

* The Misty Island logging operation has two log loaders. The main one they use is called Old Wheezy. It's unreliable and often throws the logs it's meant to load around randomly.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' The logging operation would either get Old Wheezy working properly or scrap it. Not only would it cut into their profit margins, but it's also a major safety hazard.\\
'''Instead:''' They keep using Old Wheezy.\\
Thomas refuses to use Old Wheezy, instead insisting on using Hee-Haw, the other log loader, which is more reliable, but also uses more fuel. While he uses the same ArcWords he uses whenever he makes a bad decision in this special, ''this'' time, [[InformedWrongness he made the correct decision]]; Old Wheezy was dangerous and using it could have ended in disaster. Still, as a result of using Hee-Haw, the Logging Locos are low on fuel.\\
'''You'd Then Expect:''' They'd stop by the fuel station and fuel up. There's no reason presented in the narrative why they can't. Even if they're on a strict fuel ration, the worst case scenario is that they have to wait for the following day to refuel and proceed with continuing to try to transport the jobi logs then.\\
'''Instead:''' Thomas and the Logging Locos try to take the Misty Island Tunnel without fueling up. The Logging Locos protest that they don't have enough fuel to make it through, but neither they, Thomas, nor any of their engineers suggest that they could just get more and take the trip afterwards.\\
'''The Result:''' The four trains get stranded in the tunnel when the Logging Locos run out of fuel.

* Thomas and Rosie are playing a game where they splash each other with muddy rainwater, but they are told by Sir Topham Hatt to have a washdown prior to Alicia Botti's tea party that afternoon. Rather than go to the washdown right away, Thomas decides to play the game more; he splashes Charlie, who likes it, but then comes across Emily and James, both of whom are making deliveries for the party.\\

* The last puddle Thomas encounters is a humongous puddle that goes under a bridge. He splashes through, and unknown to him, Sir Topham Hatt and Alicia Botti were on that very bridge when he passed through.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For Sir Topham and Alicia to quickly run off the bridge before getting splashed.\\
'''Instead:''' They stay on the bridge and get all muddy. Thomas is then punished, and because of so many splashes, his fire had went out.
