* KnightOfCerebus: Sailor John proves to be one of the darkest villains in the special and the series as a whole.

He even attempts to ''use dynamite'' on Thomas himself while trying to get away with his loot.

** Sir Topham Hatt [[LastNameUltimatum furiously screams]] Thomas' name after the dynamite incident.

* AnAesop: Don’t be jealous of someone thinking they might take your spot as number one. No one can replace you because you’re special.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: After a series of criticisms and backlash for messing things up to the point where he thinks he's no longer Sir Topham Hatt's favourite engine, Thomas finally gets the commendation he deserves for trying to stop Sailor John along with some much needed reassurance from a proud Sir Topham Hatt that he's always the latter's number one engine.

** After Thomas beats Bertie in a race, Clarabel notes to Thomas how his passengers don't like being [[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS1E14ThomasAndBertie bumped around like peas in a frying pan.]]
** Another scene has taken a few references from [[Recap/ThomasAndFriendsS1E1ThomasAndGordon "Thomas and Gordon"]]. The narration mentions that Thomas couldn't wake up because his fire had gone out, and there was not enough steam. Later, there's Thomas and Gordon bickering similar like the aforementioned episode. Also, Percy says to Thomas "wake up, lazybones", similar to how Thomas and [[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS1E24OffTheRails Henry]] had done to Gordon in the earlier episodes.
** Gordon tells Thomas [[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS1E15TendersAndTurntables he's too big to shunt his own coaches and that tank engines should do it.]]

** Sir Topham Hatt also feels like this. In fact, some fans thought he was actually going to tell Thomas he had had enough of him and intended to replace and sell him (or at least send him back to the mainland in disgrace). Though to be fair, his attitude throughout the special stems from the fact that Thomas is causing tremendous amounts of damage both physically and financially [[RealityEnsues (meaning Sir Topham Hatt has to pay for repairs to the damaged coaches, listen to complaints from angry passengers, and deal with the repeated delays to the construction of the new branch line)]] and is [[NeverMyFault refusing to take responsibility for his actions.]] Given that, it's [[JustifiedTrope understandable that Sir Topham Hatt seems sterner than usual.]] Then again, he ''was'' too harsh and unfair towards Thomas after the dynamite incident, not letting him explain that he was trying to save everyone and cruelly sent poor Thomas to his shed in disgrace, and giving off the impression he was just about ready to get rid of him.
