Thomas and the Trucks

* In several American releases, notably those on PBS Kids Sprout, Best of Thomas, Thomas and Friends Classic Volume 1, Roku Kids and the official Thomas & Friends YouTube channel, the episode's audio is out of sync. This is due to the audio being taken from a *Shining Time Station* airing, where the first few seconds of the opening on the episode, Jingle, Jingle, Jingle are cut and barred by Mr. Conductor's Whistle, while the episode on the releases is shown in its full form.
* At the beginning, because of an alternate shot, Gordon is in the middle of the shed with Thomas and Henry to the left and James and Edward to the right, but in the close-ups, Thomas is in the middle, Gordon and James are on one side and Edward and Henry are on the other. This appears to be unused footage shots for the episode Edward and Gordon, as the engines are all in the same positions. Because of this alternate shot, Edward is smiling while the others are frowning. In fact, Edward is clearly shown frowning along with the others just before the narrator says: "The other engines didn't take much notice", even though he is said to feel sorry for Thomas.
* The narrator says that the guard blew his whistle and a whistle sound is heard, but the guard is only holding a green flag.
* In the close-ups of Thomas pulling a truck, the rest of the train is missing.
* When Thomas hits the buffers in the siding, there is a second track because the same truck close-up is used.
* On early American home video releases, when Thomas puffs up Gordon's Hill, a technician's voice is heard saying "Look out for the train!" and the music and sound effects are briefly muted as it is said.
* Throughout the episode, when Thomas is pulling the trucks, they change their position rapidly. The number of trucks also change, such as when Thomas leaves Knapford, he has three vans. However, when he goes through Henry's Tunnel, he has two vans for the rest of the episode. Also, as Thomas comes out of Henry's Tunnel, the tracks bounce and the front GWR van also changes into a utility van.
* In the restored version, the scene of the trucks bumping Thomas is not cut properly. As a result, the buffering sound effects are out of sync.
* When Thomas hits the buffers on the siding, the close-up shows him with black buffer housings and a different-looking brake pipe.

* In the close-up of Thomas hitting the buffers, his buffer beam is black as opposed to red.
* The narrator refers to the siding as the goods yard when Thomas bumped into the buffers.

* When the narrator says, "When he opened his eyes..." Thomas' eyes are wonky and his face is slightly crooked.
* In a rare picture, the edge of the set can be seen behind Thomas and the trucks.
* In a deleted scene, a truck overlaps a small portion of James' face.

* For a brief second, when Thomas flies through Elsbridge, John Attwell's hand can be seen in the top right corner of the screen, grabbing the footbridge to prevent the camera from hitting it, and the left pair of tracks come to an end.
* In a deleted scene, Thomas does not have a lamp on his running board.
* In the second close-up of the troublesome truck, Knapford cannot be seen behind it. The same thing happens in the close-up of Thomas' whistle.
