* Percy's Ghostly Trick has an echoed on this release.
* This is the first time that Ringo Starr's US narration of Percy Takes the Plunge was released on home media since it was seen on the Shining Time Station episode, Mapping It Out, and the audiobook of A Cow on the Line and Other Thomas the Tank Engine Stories.

## Goofs

* In the trivia game, one question asks "What did Percy plunge into with the help of the box cars?" but Percy was pushed by troublesome open wagons.
* The VHS description refers to Percy, James and the Fruitful Day although that episode is not featured on the release.
