Goofs

 * When the trucks smash into the buffers, an extra truck appears.
 * The fact that the signalman needed to change the points is illogical since the trucks would have most likely rolled right through the station and not damage anything.
 * The trucks should have come off the rails at the difficult bend.
 * Thomas has taken other coaches before, so he shouldn't have been worried about missing Annie and Clarabel.
