Goofs

 * Spencer runs through a cloud of dust, but comes out without a speck on his paint.
 * The narrator says that the Duke and Duchess' royal crest was placed on Thomas' boiler when it was actually placed on his side-tanks.
 * Thomas should've know from his experience in "Thomas and the Toy Shop" that he can't pull a heavy load of stone trucks up Gordon's Hill.
 * When Thomas races past Emily, you can see she isn't coupled to her coaches.
 * Surely, the Duke and Duchess' royal crest would be painted on Spencer's tender rather than placed on his boiler.
 * Why does the duke need to take a train to the airport?
 * If it is just the duke and duchess, why are there two coaches?
