Trivia

 * The front cover features images from Thomas Comes to Breakfast, Off the Rails, and Trust Thomas.
 * Although Cows is an even-numbered episode, the credits uses the last scene from Duck Takes Charge. This also happened on Thomas' Christmas Party and 17 other stories. It presumably is due to the fact that the original credits for the episode mention Thomas, Percy and the Coal.

Goofs

 * The last bit of music in the Britt Allcroft logo is heard before the opening credits to Toby's Tightrope, Four Little Engines, Steam Roller and Train Stops Play.
 * The description of Four Little Engines says Sir Handel has trouble with trucks, when they are actually coaches.
