## Trivia

1. The second, third and fourth episodes feature lines that got re-dubbed:
	1. Thomas Gets Tricked: In the 1990 Strand VCI Entertainment release, Ringo Starr says, "And off Thomas ran, laughing." The lines, "Thomas likes to tease Gordon with his whistle" and "'Maybe I don't have to tease Gordon to feel important,' Thomas thought to himself," are also changed. This was the version used in the Random House read-along CD recording. The original lines, as well as "And off he ran laughing," are restored in the 1992 Strand Home Video release and were used on every tape featuring the 1992 program including its DVD release.
	2. Edward Helps Out: "Edward's driver came up."
	3. Come Out, Henry!: "How long do you think Henry will stay in the tunnel before he overcomes his fear of the rain and then decides to journey out again?"
	4. Henry to the Rescue: "'I'd like to come out of the tunnel.' But Henry didn't know how to ask."
2. The 2007 DVD cover has a mock-up illustration of Thomas being pushed by the Jet Engine past Callan Castle.
3. On Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Starz, the stories are told by George Carlin.
4. The Brazilian version of the DVD features a Language Selection which features the option to change the languages between Portuguese, (American) English and (Latin American) Spanish.
5. A picture from Topped Off Thomas can be seen on the back cover of the Brazilian version of this release.
6. When Universal released it to DVD, the end credits were cut.
7. The Starz version does not include nameboards but the last few notes of the theme tune can be heard before Trouble for Thomas begins.

## Goofs

1. On the Netflix version, the last music cue in Trouble for Thomas is played twice.
2. In Gordon's Memory Game, Gordon asks "Can you remember what was not in the scene with Thomas?" after a scene with James is shown.
3. On the back cover, the Sodor Memories is listed as "Character Gallery."
4. A Big Day for Thomas is out of sync on the Starz version.
