Trivia

 * A Scarf for Percy is the first Storytime Segment to be based off of its television series adaptation rather than its original Railway Series counterpart, possibly due to the latter being shorter than most Railway Series stories.
 * Gordon Goes Foreign is the only Storytime segment to date to be based on a Railway Series-only story.
 * Thomas Goes Fishing and Bridges are the only Storytime and Postcards segments to date to air on television, as they were shown with the PBS airing of The Adventure Begins.
 * The last illustration of Trouble in the Shed of Gordon and Henry is modelled after the second illustration of Hullo Twins! from The Twin Engines.

 * Skarloey appears in one of the new illustrations, but he was away being repaired during this story.
 * The slate truck in the first illustration is derailed.
 * When Mr. Perkins gets to the bit about the goods train waiting in the siding in the UK version, it is clear to see that it has been dubbed over the US version as when he says "goods train", his lip movements still read "freight train".
 * Duck is incorrectly depicted with a 2-6-0 wheel arrangement in the first illustration.
 * Henry is painted blue in the first illustration, but is painted green in the second.
 * Thomas' headcode changes while going under the bridge and changes back when he reaches the signal box.
 * Mr. Perkins refers to Stephen as "a Stephenson's Rocket", but there was only one original Rocket in the real world. Stephen previously identified himself as the original Rocket in King of the Railway.
