Why Troublesome Trucks are So Troublesome | Thomas & Friends Analysis

[@FaysalIsGoated]

I’ve watched Thomas for years. I’ve seen every incarnation of Troublesome Trucks, from them pushing James off the rails(twice), to Scruffy getting ripped to shreds by Oliver, to them finessing Diesel, to Hector, to them actually behaving when Thomas first met Nia in Big World Big Adventures. And I’ve come to the forgone conclusion that the only reason they act bad, is because they’re just bored as hell. Besides hauling things around, they really have no purpose. So they feel like to the best way to change that is to mess with every engine around them. Steamie or Diesel.

[@MasterOfTruck]

yeah, troublesome trucks are only "troublesome" at the british isles, but nowhere else around the world. i always found that a bit odd. maybe it really does just absolutely have to do with the way they are treated. where at the britsh isles theres a social hierarchy where trucks are viewed as beneath engines, which parallels to how british people can be quite snobbish towards anything/one seen "beneath" them. however elsewhere trucks are well behaved because such social construct doesnt exist and everyone are simply treated as equals.

[@Calebtrain]

I would be bored too tbh if I was a truck

[@princesspixel3151]

[@alexandergonyea4642]

Expertly done. I never knew the context of why Awdry initially depicted trucks as troublesome, so this was very helpful. I think for an in-universe reason behind it, the "Character Gallery" episode on Hector had a pretty solid explanation that relates to the point you mentioned about the dirty, grungy look of the trucks, tying it into their poor maintenance. I really loved that point about the personification of engines, rolling stock, and other vehicles as well. It reminds me of an interesting approach that's been done a handful of times in certain fan work, where not everyone in the world sees the engines, especially the Sodor ones, with faces because they don't see them as individuals. They only see them as normal, run of the mill vehicles without any sense of distinction or personality.

[@jaylenware363]

Yo! I love Character Gallery, it adds so much more context to the show and books. I also like MOTL's "Long Live the Iron Horse" Audio Drama. Really shows how little control the trucks have over their own lives, how little others around the care for their wellbeing, and what they will do to keep their lives in their own hands

[@Calebtrain]

I'll definitely have to check that out, Hector was such a fun addition to the show. I think it's a really interesting way to look at the sentience, as a matter of perspective. The stories are meant to be plausible with or without the characters, so it makes sense that seeing the character within these machines is only something certain people see!

[@NorthAndSouthTransitOfficial_]

[@TheTrainModeller]

A wonderful analysis, Caleb. The trucks have always baffled me -- the fact they're so eager to cause trouble at whatever cost... I really enjoyed this look into the trucks. Can't wait for the next video! :)

[@Calebtrain]

what do you think is the limit of "going too far" for a truck

[@jenniferlumiqued]

@@Calebtrain no

[@jenniferlumiqued]

There are no limits for the trucks

[@TheTrainModeller]

This is very true. Considering they're willing to quite literally destroy themselves, other engines and their troublesome truck friends to cause trouble.

[@hartleymartin]

The first season used just eyes and a mouth on the trucks. In season 2 they started using full faces. The reason you don't see faces in many shots is for artistic reasons. Faces draw attention and when they want to put emphasis on other aspects of the scene, they turn the faces away (or leave them off the trucks). They do something similar with engines where they deliberately turn faces away for certain shots.

[@Wildcatt1999]

Troublesome Trucks are like internet trolls before internet trolls.

[@Calebtrain]

the OG's

[@rudyproductions4557]

My stance on the characters has for a long time been: Awdry was just the translator. Everything in our world has a story. Everything in our world has a personality. This entire wonderful world we are on TALKS everyday… we only need to pay enough attention to understand it. Awdry understood that steam engines talked from a young age. You could say he was “a sort of man who knows how to speak to an engine”. Awdry’s books attempted to encapsulate that idea and pass it on the generations to come.

[@Calebtrain]

100% this! Having the sentience be a matter of perspective I think is the best explanation.

[@joelanderson4899]

as much as I love the TV show (model or CGI), they never seemed to 'get' Awdry's writing. not fully

[@randomstufliker2]

I’d say you hit the nail right on the head! I’ve had a theory for a while about the engines’ (and rolling stock in general) sentience that’s basically the same as yours. It’s their identity. If your able to identify an engine, car, truck, coach, etc. (like by a number, name, behavior, etc.) then they have a personality

[@Calebtrain]

Absolutely! Great theory, I think that identity (which has to be recognized by someone else) is what makes you remember them.

[@missoliverandblossom]

Whenever anyone in the show would say “Be more careful with trucks” I’ve always wanted to add this kind of joke afterwards. “Seriously, I’ve been on this god forsaken island for many years, and every time an accident happens, trucks ALWAYS seem to be at the center of almost every single one. It’s like they’re the railway’s own publicly known terrorist organization or something………..why do we keep them alive again?!”

​@@princesspixel3151 ngl I think if they had large scale sir handel at the time they would've used him since the trucks love to specifically mess with him on that railway

[@overlordarcade]

That was really good! I like the explanation of what actually made them a terror from time to time, and how their real world issues became an allegory for their tricks and hi-jinks. As a kid you don't really think about it, but that's why classic Thomas is still fun as an adult. All this stuff came from real world events, and trucks did really push and pull engines to an extent, causing trouble.

Cool little video here. Not something I have ever thought about trucks behaving well. Even though they do. Nice to see!

[@Calebtrain]

It's the one's who cause trouble that get noticed!

[@emersoninfinitystone5785]

In my opinion.... the reason as to why Troublesome Trucks are.. well.. troublesome is because deep down all they want is recognition for they're contributions to the railway, without them how could goods be transported anywhere and benefit the island?. You almost have to feel sympathy for them. All they're lives they've been bumped & bashed around ( even when they're not being been naughty ) simply because that's just the way things are etc... never getting so much a friendly hello. The engines are all so use to doing this as due to letting instinct teach that they should assume trucks are 'always' going to be naughty that they never stopped to think about how it affects them. On the other side of the same coin.... the truth is that trucks act up so often is because they never get to know and befriend anyone that they feel they must be rude & misbehave for us to notice them. All trucks deep down simply wished to be really useful, treated & respected equally like everyone else, even just stopping and having a friendly talk to them would be enough to make them feel very much included as apart of the railway family. Troublesome Trucks are not just some cog in the system... but a true member of the team.

[@Calebtrain]

I've been through your channel every now and then. I saw "Passage" a while ago and I LOVE it. The model work and cinematography is fantastic accompanied by a soothing narration and energetic voice actors. I've also recently come across these analysis videos of yours which I'm really finding interesting. The memes and pop culture references are some nice touches as well that keep the viewer entertained. On the subject of this video, I find this topic very fascinating. "Races, Rescues, and Runaways" was one of the first Thomas the Tank Engine DVD's I got, and even as a little kid I would sometimes wonder what the troublesome truck's motives behind all their catastrophes were. This also reminded me of an audio story I saw a while ago that's mainly based around Rheneas in the early days of the Skarloey Railway. But the slate trucks play a huge part in the events of the story and could provide an explanation why the trucks are troublesome. I look forward to the next one!

I definitely agree that troublesome trucks are undervalued and overlooked. They are the backbone of the railway!

[@Shipwright1918]

Technically speaking, non fitted wagons do have brakes, they just have to be engaged and released manually by the levers on the side. It was usually the case that unfitted freights would stop at the top of a grade and the guard would go along the train to engage the brakes on the wagons and pin them down using slots that were in the frames to hold the levers in place at varying levels. The lower the slot you pinned, the harder the brakes would be engaged. It was usually up to the driver to determine how many wagons would get pinned so the train could be pulled down the grade safely but not grind to a halt with too many applied, usually would blow the whistle when he thought there was enough. This is actually referenced in a Thomas episode where there's a sign beside the line which reads "ALL TRAINS STOP TO PIN DOWN BRAKES".

[@warrenlehmkuhleii8472]

"Even if it means [the trucks' death], I guess." Considering there are perhaps dozens of trucks per engine they may see their deaths as a win for truck kind if they take one engine out. It is a battle of attrition, and they have the numbers.

The intro makes me imagine a David Attenborough-style mockumentary about engines that talks about them like they're wild animals.

[@VestedUTuber]

I'd say the faces aren't necessarily just imagination, but to put a face on a personified character that otherwise would be just another faceless machine or piece of rolling stock to those who don't work with them. It makes these characterful machines into characters that anyone can relate to. Separate note and a bit of a fun thing about that, even small scale models can have character. I've got a plucky little N-scale 4-4-0 that punches above its weight class, a lazy N-scale 4-8-2 that calls it quits the moment it encounters a grade, a G-scale 0-6-6-0 that can be best described as a badass, and an old G-scale 0-6-0 live steamer that started off as a poor runner but is just now getting back in its stride.

[@Calebtrain]

Absolutely! Model trains have BIG personalities, even Awdry's own OO Henry model was as troubled as the character!

[@MrNoUsername]

I've also got a couple of OO models that have some personalities as well - My mainline 57xx pannier doesn't waddle, but is a little tempermental when it comes to speed control - My little LMS pug shunter is one of my smoothest and most behaved runner in the collection (not to mention cute 🥰) - My GWR class 101 shunters are very eager on running - My mainline LMS Scots Guardsman is a really smooth runner and will stroll away with a decent sized passenger train, this is the engine I'm most proud of to own

The troublesome trucks are probably the characters I feel the worst for. Imagine how dull their existence must be, you are alive, but you can never move under your own volition and you're forced to carry stuff in you and be shoved around whether you like it or not. Their like the slaves of Sodor in a way, and on top of that nobody cares about you, you get destroyed they just replace you. Hell not even other trucks care about you evidence from pop goes the diesel only mentioning the trucks he damaged in a passing word. The trucks get board as hell as well and since they can't do anything of their own volition they just try to cause trouble because that's basically all they can do. Salty gets along with them very well because he sings songs that entertain them thus providing a light to their otherwise dull existence. Ultimately the trucks existence is dull and sad only lifted up by causing mayhem in a world where no one, not even eachother care for them and I feel sad for them
