Thomas is a franchise that very really employs the use of actual villains, rather jerks or trouble-makers, this is because it is a rather peaceful setting.. many shows have this, things like Sesame Street, Arthur, Hey Arnold and so on.. sometimes the jerks can be bad enough to qualify (like Angelica from Rugrats or Roger from Doug) but it doesn't mean every "grumpy" or "mean" character can be considered a truly villainous being, regardless of the heinous standards of a universe.

Thomas does have some villains, Diesel 10 and the like but they were definitely in the minority and you'd be lucky if Thomas as a series had more than maybe a handful of truly "bad guys".
