To add to that, it was never explained how Douglas got to Sodor in the first place, but however it happened, Donald had to smuggle his twin over to Sodor. It's a miracle neither of them went insane. The incident with Donald threatening the Spiteful Brakevan after it bullied Douglas, for instance, seem heroic until one realizes that he's fully aware of what Hatt intended to do and must know that if he saves his brother, he's going to be the one that gets scrapped. They had that hanging over their heads for two or three episodes before he decided to keep them both. Sir Topham Hatt decided to see which one of them was more useful, then send the other one back, most likely to be scrapped. Sir Topham Hatt arranged to import one of them to Sodor, but, unwilling to be parted, they both came down and pretended to be each other until the railway staff caught on. Donald and Douglas' backstory was pretty horrifying, For those that don't know: They were twin engines. Please don't list it on a work's trope example list.
As suchthere are a few moments that are definitely not for even the youngest children.
