 * Thomas
 * Annie and Clarabel

Trivia

 * Images from Duck Takes Charge and Dirty Work are used.
 * This is the only series 1 Buzz Book to be renamed in the UK aside from Down the Mine & Off the Rails which added Thomas & Gordon's names respectively. The reason this one was renamed was likely due to the mature connotations of its original name (Dirty Objects).

Goofs

 * Because text from the original Railway Series story is used, Toby is told to be painted "chocolate and blue" by the Fat Controller, but he was never painted blue in the television series. Similarly, the Fat Controller tells Toby that Henrietta "shall be brown like Annie and Clarabel, Thomas' coaches," but Annie and Clarabel are orange in the TV series. This goof is carried over from the Ladybird Book, which contains the same text.
 * In one picture, the 2 coal trucks at the front of James' train are missing.
