Trivia

 * This was one of three US VHS releases from before 1992 that did not have a DVD release, the other two being Tenders and Turntables and Other Stories and Better Late Than Never and Other Stories, Likely because most of the episodes were on Thomas and His Friends Get Along and Other Thomas Adventures. However, with the exception of Trust Thomas and Percy and the Signal which were only narrated by George Carlin in the US, all episodes on that release were narrated by him instead of Ringo Starr.
 * The is the first US Thomas VHS to have Duck and Diesel's nameboards in the intermissions.
 * On the Strand Home Video release, the yellow split after Double Trouble is cut out.
 * The line, "Gordon, James and Henry were furious," is moved a second early in Duck Takes Charge.
 * This VHS was release in Canada before Pop Goes the Diesel meaning the Canadian audience may know about Diesel's appearance during the nameboard intermission.

Goofs
