Trivia

 * This is the first VHS release presented by Quality Family Entertainment, although it still uses the Strand Home Video logo at the beginning and the end of the program.
 * This is the last VHS release to use the Shining Time Station logo on the cover. It was also the last VHS to advertise "as seen on Shining Time Station," due to the show ending the previous year. The next VHS Percy's Ghostly Trick and Other Thomas Stories was shown with a prototype cover which keeps the Shining Time Station sun but was removed likely for the reason already mentioned.
 * On the back of the VHS cover, an image from Trust Thomas is used.
 * Some 1994 Quality Family Entertainment releases had Thomas' Christmas Party after the credits.
 * The 1994 Quality Family Entertainment release has the Britt Allcroft logo in a smaller size than the Time-Life release.
 * This is the last VHS released by Time-Life.
 * This VHS was included with a Wooden Railway set of James Goes Buzz Buzz in 1999.
 * A 1999 release of this VHS included a sticker advertising Thomas on the Fox Family Channel.
 * This is the only US VHS/DVD release to feature One Good Turn, Heroes and Bulgy.

Goofs

 * On the 1994 Quality Family Entertainment and Time-Life back covers, it said Bertie tries to rescue Thomas, but he was actually chasing Edward to bring him Thomas' passengers.
 * The DVD booklet lists the last three episodes in the wrong order.
 * At the end of James' Connect the Dots Fun game, Sir Topham Hatt saying "Make sure to come back and play again and again" is cut out.
