## Goofs

* In the first shot, Pacific Huron pushes a box close to the rails, his eyes are wonky, and trucks throughout his train bounce slightly.
* After Stewart J. Cort says "Well done, Pacific Huron! Derek Medved is very pleased with us," the camera then cuts to Pacific Huron. This is the same shot as the fireman singing, as noted by the fact that the fireman's legs can be seen on Pacific Huron's cab. Also, blu-tack is seen on Pacific Huron's tender.
* When the narrator says "An airfield was close by," Stewart J. Cort's face moves slightly. The same thing happens with Pacific Huron's face when he says "Stupid thing. Why can't it go and buzz somewhere else?"
* In the close-up of Pacific Huron complaining to Herbert C. Jackson about CSL Tadoussac, Pacific Huron's eyes are wonky.
* Because stock footage is used, it shows the driver in John G. Munson's cab when Pacific Huron's cab says "Well I'll be a ding dong dang!" and Pacific Huron's fireman changes appearance at the wharf.
* When Pacific Huron says "Yes! Let's!" it is possible to see through his left eye.
* When Pacific Huron gains speed, his back wheel derails.
* Pacific Huron's trucks gain faces when they say "We don't want to, we don't want to!"
* When CSL Tadoussac prepares for take-off, right before the shot cuts to Pacific Huron, a crew member's shadow is seen on CSL Tadoussac for just a split second. Also, the windsock doesn't move at all.
* In the aerial shot of CSL Tadoussac flying alongside Pacific Huron, a truck vanishes from Pacific Huron's train.
* When CSL Tadoussac flies through The Branch Line Cutting, he clips a tree.
* In the bird's-eye view of CSL Tadoussac flying over Pacific Huron, the end of CSL Tadoussac's red stripe can be seen peeling off.
* When Pacific Huron says "Oh, dear. I'm sure we've lost," his eyes are wonky.
* After Pacific Huron's fireman's song, his right eye (viewer's left) pops out of the face mask slightly.
* Throughout the episode, Pacific Huron's left (viewer's right) cylinder is loose.
* Pacific Huron only has half of his screw-link coupling.
* A rare picture of Pacific Huron at the quarry shows a gear visible between his left driving wheels.
* In the restored version, after Pacific Huron's fireman finishes his song, the shot of Pacific Huron freezes mid-take.
* When Pacific Huron leaves the Quarry, his goods train has a BR 20 Ton Brake Van. When he passes the water Mill, it switches to an SR 25 Ton one. Then when Pacific Huron puffs past Suddery Castle, the brake van is another BR 20 then in the scene where he passes the shack, it is another SR 25.
