Trivia

 * This video marked the first of three things:
 * The first VHS release captioned by The Caption Center (now known as Media Access Group at WGBH).
 * The 2006 DVD was released along with Thomas and the Really Brave Engines and Other Adventures as one of the first DVDs captioned by JR Media Services Inc. since Steamies vs. Diesels.
 * The first Thomas & Friends DVD released in Brazil.
 * On the back cover of the 2000 VHS and both DVD releases, the image of Henry on the bridge is mirrored.
 * Some copies of this VHS was released with each episode having their own individual opening and closing credits, as well as UK titles with US narrations. Some of the second series episodes have their end credits taken from Duck Takes Charge.
 * This VHS/DVD was awarded a 1999 Parent's Guide to Children's Media Inc. award.
 * The audio overlaps on one version of the 1998 VHS.
 * This is the only US DVD to feature Thomas Comes to Breakfast, Pop Goes the Diesel, A Close Shave for Duck, Double Trouble and A Cow on the Line.
 * On the front cover of the 2009 release, an image from The World's Strongest Engine is used.
 * On the Brazilian DVD, the episodes can be viewed in Portuguese, English and Spanish.
 * The Starz version does not feature any nameboards, includes different title cards and gives A Close Shave for Duck its UK title.
 * On the front cover of the DVD and 2000 VHS release, an image from the third series episode, Trust Thomas is used and the front cover of the 2006 DVD uses a photo of Thomas from the seventh series episode, James and the Queen of Sodor.
 * On the back cover of the original VHS release, an image from Percy Takes the Plunge is used.
 * In the 2009 release, when selecting James' Connect the Dots, a faint whistle can be heard.
 * The VHS can also be considered as Anchor Bay Entertainment's updated version of Better Late Than Never and Other Stories, since four of the seven episodes, as well as the end credits and still shot from The Runaway, were featured on both releases. The only difference is that this release ends with Trouble in the Shed, which is on Tenders and Turntables and Other Stories.

Goofs

 * On the front cover of the original release, Tidmouth's canopy roof is missing.
 * On the Kmart exclusive version, there is a slight glitch during the scene when Gordon's driver wakes up Gordon to take the special goods train. This is not present in other releases.
 * On the front cover of the 2000 VHS and 2006 DVD, the rails leading away from the jetty are not edited out properly. This is also the case on the disc artwork for the 2006 DVD.
 * The Starz version calls Double Trouble "Double Take."
 * A technical glitch occurs during the nameboard intermissions for A Close Shave for Duck and Double Trouble by showing Trevor before transitioning to either Edward or Bertie.
