Trivia

 * Despite it's name, it does not contain all of the volumes of the Railway Series, as it is lacking Christopher Awdry's works but a sequel of sorts to this book was released in 2007, named Thomas the Tank Engine: The New Collection. This book contains all of Christopher Awdry's books, bar Thomas and his Friends.

Goofs

 * The endpaper features Bertie with a yellow face, and Skarloey with red wheels.
