== Trivia ==
* James' temporary headlamp from the fourteenth series episode, James in the Dark is reused for Beau's tail-lamp.
* In prototype biographies of Beau, it is said that Thomas saved him after he was abandoned. However, this is sort of swapped, as Beau saves Thomas after his crash.
** Interestingly, this plot element was reused for Lorenzo in Mines of Mystery.
* In early storyboards, Beau is depicted as a grey tank engine with a cowcatcher and diamond spark arrestor, a design similar to that of Puffa from Thomas & Friends' sister series, TUGS.
* Although Beau's name is displayed on his tender as well as in the listing for his Wood toy and various promotional pieces, his name is yet to be spoken in the television series.
