Norwegian
Join the Christmas celebration with Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. In ninety minutes you can enjoy eighteen episodes where you meet the famous and precious engine.

Thomas is a little engine, but he is quick and cheeky. He lives at the railway station on the Island of Sodor. He has to share the engine shed with some bigger engines - Gordon, Edward, Henry, James and Toby. But no one works as hard as Thomas, or so he says. That's why he likes to tease the others when they sigh and complain: I get no rest, I get no rest!

Trivia

 * Although Cows is an even-numbered episode, the credits are from Duck Takes Charge, which comes after Bertie's Chase.
 * A copy of the VHS was signed by Ringo Starr in 1996. It was discovered on eBay in November 2019.
 * When the Norwegian VHS was originally released in December 1995, it contained different episodes from the UK VHS, as the third series had not been dubbed yet. The VHS was later re-released in 1997 containing the same episodes as the UK VHS.

Goofs

 * On the back cover of the UK VHS, Junior Campbell's name is misnamed as "Cambell."
 * In the Norwegian releases, the description says that Toby is bigger than Thomas and that he lives at Tidmouth Sheds.
 * In the Norwegian episode selections, the scene from Bertie's Chase is mirrored.
 * On the early Norwegian VHS, Trouble in the Shed, Toby and the Stout Gentleman and Thomas' Christmas Party are grouped with the series 2 episodes.
 * Thomas, Terence and the Snow comes after Thomas' Christmas Party, so audiences might not know who Terence is and Dirty Work comes before Duck Takes Charge so audiences may not have known why Diesel was sulking and who Duck was.
