Trivia

 * Didi Conn is the only cast member from the original Shining Time Station series to reprise her role in Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
 * Conn recalls her involvement in Shining Time Station began when her agent called her up and said "How would you like to work with a Beatle?" Being a big Beatles fan, Conn enthusiastically agreed, unaware of the Thomas stories' popularity.
 * Nicolle Rochelle (who played Tanya in the first and second series) recalls Conn helped create "the PBS Club" onset to encourage good behaviour by the child actors, putting stars on a chart and bringing gifts for them every week.
 * Didi Conn has said that Thomas was her favourite engine.
