## Trivia

* An audio cassette tape was included with some 2003 VHS releases. It featured the following songs:
	+ Thomas' Anthem
	+ Boo! Boo! Choo-Choo
	+ Don't Judge a Book By its Cover
	+ Really Useful Engine
* This video marks the last of two things:
	+ The last VHS to list previous volumes that the stories are also featured in on the back cover.
	+ The last DVD to feature the character gallery from Best of Gordon.
* On the VHS, Mr. Conductor's whistle from the second and third seasons of Shining Time Station can be heard at the start of Trouble for Thomas. On the DVD, only the steam can be heard.
* On the front cover of the 1998 release, an image from the second series episode (Thomas Comes to Breakfast) is used.
* On the back cover of the 1998 release, an image from Thomas Saves the Day is used.
* This video was paired up with Thomas Comes to Breakfast when they were released.
* On the back cover of the 2003 release, an image from the fourth series episode (Train Stops Play) is used.
* Thomas Breaks the Rules comes before Toby the Tram Engine. This could really mean that audiences may not know who Toby is.

## Goofs

* The Hulu description incorrectly refers to this release as a Cuban music documentary.
* On the 2003 release and DVD cover, Toby's funnel is missing.
