Usually, they end up causing trouble, but they are never detected because no one ever sees them.

Tropes:

Rosie and Jim (sometimes written as Rosie & Jim) is a British children's television programme produced by Ragdoll Productions and aired on ITV from 3rd September 1990 to 10th March 2000, and on PBS from 5 September 1992 to 31 March 2001. Sophie Aldred: Life on the Island of Sodor can be very busy, but the engines enjoy their work on the railway. Sometimes in the adventures Thomas has with his friends landed in trouble. Oh, Crap!: In "Automata", the duo play a game called Turning the Wheel while John rests his ears. First, the wheel stops at a feather, which sounds of nothing. Then, the wheel stops at a bunny toy that Rosie squeezes, making a loud squeaky sound, but not as loud as the last one, which was a drum! This trope was their reaction to the wheel stopping at that. Tilly speaks Gratuitous French ( Gratuitous Spanish in the American version), but understands English very well. She has a magic bag with her, which she likes to call a sac magique/ bolsa mágica. She is good at playing the piccolo. Not So Stoic: When Neil is startled or frightened by Rosie and Jim's antics, he becomes much more animated than John and Pat.

Neil Brewer was the longest owner and featured in 80 episodes from 1997 to 2000. Rosie & Jim called him Tootle. He was a musician who would always end each episode by playing a song on his concertina. Neil also featured in the Rosie and Jim tour in 1999 and 2000.

Jim says Rosie can only come if she is quiet. Rosie says "OK", and drops her lid on the floor with a loud clatter, causing Jim to facepalm.
