Trivia

 * Since Skiff's last appearance in Thomas & Friends, he has gained some notable changes in his design:
 * He now has blue irises.
 * His "Skiff's Railboat Tours" signs have been removed.
 * While it is unknown the exact reason for this change, it is most likely so that Skiff's English name will not appear in other dubs.
 * His wheels and chassis have been drastically redesigned; his wheels are now blue instead of red, and is supported by springs rather than being held up by a swivel arm.
 * Like Annie, Clarabel and the Troublesome Trucks, he gained the ability to move by himself.
 * He gained an Irish accent in the UK dub.
 * Skiff is currently one of the only characters created by former head writer and magazine writer, Andrew Brenner to appear in All Engines Go. The others being Ashima, Yong Bao, and Nia.
 * Before making his first appearance in All Engines Go, Skiff first appeared in a Motorized set. This was likely done early in production, as it recycles the red wheels he had in the original series rather than giving him the blue wheels he gains in Skiff Sails Sodor.
 * As shown in the episode, Skiff Sails Sodor, Skiff appears to suffer from motion sickness travelling on dry land.
