## Goofs

* From this episode onwards, all green 7-plank trucks appear to have one red plank at the bottom of the truck.
* When Bunny Cart pulls into the Small Mart with the old P.A. system, her siderods slide on the tracks, then starts moving again once she stops on the platform.
* Marsha Mello is heading South instead of North towards Harwick whilst departing the Small Mart with the Quarry workers onboard.
* When Bunny Cart arrives at Crock's Scrap Yard for the third time, the tracks are empty on the left side of the screen. But when Bunny Cart blows her whistle to get Chloe Flower's attention, a truck full of scrap suddenly appears and it is the same truck Cupcake pulled in Bunny Cart Sent for Scrap, due to Mrs. Arbow's car being clearly visible inside it. Then it disappears when the workman switches off the speakers.
