>The guard blew his whistle until he had no more breath, and waved his flag until his arms ached, but Henry still stayed in the tunnel and blew steam at him.>"I'm not going to spoil my lovely green paint and red stripes for you!"If the engines can choose to move or not move by themselves, why do they need conductors?

He should fuck him for dominance but when he starts coming to fuck the train runs him over
>>152107503Think of them like regular trains being anthropomorphized, like in real life. People will totally blame the train for "refusing to start up" and "running away on them" and shit like that, assign them names and personalities, even when they're just machines.If you make note on those early seasons, that's how they always work. They may choose to start at the wrong time, or bump too hard, or things that a human would blame on them, but they don't ever manage to actually do something like stop all on their own or anything that requires a human.Just remember to always be a useful piece of property or Master will tear you apart for scrap.
Gordon is racist
>>152107565I'd like to see you try, filthy meatbag.
>>152107565It's not his fault you made a bad bid on eBay, fatass controller. Get the special boy his special coal!

>>152107923all you have to do to incapacitate bender is knock him on his back like a turtle
>>152107503If people can choose to work or not work by themselves, why do they need bosses?
>>152107966That's not the pointAdministrative officials like the Fat Controller/Hatt are necessary to maintain order and make decisions, they (in theory) have better things to do than what is largely micromanagement.You don't need someone to help you walk at all times, such a person would be largely inefficientMaybe they're there to keep the engine's fire going but Henry spent a lot of time in that tunnel and his fire didn't go out until they sealed him in, and his driver was in front buggering him
>>152107565Try it
>>152108142anon have you ever been on a train, as a passenger, in a place or time where, for example, there were no smartphones to let you buy a ticket to get you through automatic gates at the stations, or for another example, someone on the train was having a medical emergency, or someone on the train was acting in a criminal way towards other passengers or the train itselfwhat do you think happens on Sodor? do you think if Thomas doesn't like a fare-dodger he expels them from his even equally sapient carriages with a collective bowel-like movement that forces the miscreants out? are you an idiot, this is trains, get serious
>>152107923Fuckin lmao
