## Description

### US/CAN

On the Island of Sodor, two kinds of engines help keep Sir Topham Hatt's railway running smoothly - steamies and diesels. But is the Island big enough for both? It's not always easy for these engines to put aside their differences and work together. See what happens when the diesels tease Thomas. Will Thomas come to their aid when they need this Really Useful steamie's help? And when Gordon develops some very loud squeaks and rattles, will Sir Topham Hatt retire him to the yard for good? That's what the diesels say!

Get on board with the steamies and the diesels and see how they finally learn that, from brake pipe to buffer, all engines are more alike than not.

* This is the only US and Canadian DVD to contain Henry and the Wishing Tree and Squeak, Rattle and Roll.
* The original trailer for this release, as seen on the New Friends for Thomas DVD features footage from Series 6 and 7.

## Goofs

* promos and logos, as well as the lack of the "Day Out with Thomas" promo, despite it being advertised.
	+ When accessing the data tracks on a computer, the manufacturing date is 30 June 2006, far later than the initial 2004 release.
* In Thomas to the Rescue, when the narrator says "oiled Diesel", the subtitles say "**b**oiled D**ei**sel".
* In the "Steamie or Diesel" game on the US DVD, Spencer is mistakenly called a diesel engine even though he is a steam engine. Whenever steamie is selected, Spencer says he actually has a horn instead of a whistle and even says he is a diesel engine.
* On the US DVD menu, Annie and Clarabel's names are missing.
* On the DVD booklet in Pick a Story, the first episode pictured was Squeak, Rattle and Roll instead of Thomas to the Rescue.
* On the 2011 rerelease of the US DVD, the short version of the new HiT entertainment logo was shown twice. The first time it was shown was after the Thomas & Friends Website Screen and the second was after the LIONSGATE logo.
* In the Steamie Stumpers Quiz:
	+ It is said in Percy's New Whistle that Percy blew his whistle at Elizabeth when she was delivering food to the ducks, but it was actually Trevor who was delivering food to the sheep.
	+ It is said in Thomas to the Rescue that Sir Topham Hatt sends Thomas to the quarry when Bill and Ben need to go in for repairs, but Bill and Ben are not acknowledged in the actual episode at all (save for an appearance in a deleted scene).
	+ It is said in Henry and the Wishing Tree that cakes and buns splattered all over Henry when he tried to collect the Dining Car, even though nothing splattered all over Henry when he bumped the Dining Car at all.
	+ It is said in Squeak, Rattle and Roll that Gordon blew his whistle to cover up the squeak, when he actually slowed down to cover it up.
* On the front cover of the US DVD, Diesel's eyes are a bit wonky.
