Oliver's Find

"Sorry I'm late, Great Western. Had a bit of trouble with one of my arms. Kept letting me down when I was supposed to be up. You know how it is."

- Harold

Trivia

 * Pre-filmed footage from Sir Topham Hatt's Holiday and stock footage from Bye George! and Put Upon Percy is used. Footage from the latter isn't cut properly, as you can see S. C. Ruffey in the mine.
 * When Oliver first passes the boats and barges with the post train, to the far left, you can see Bulstrode's model without his face or eye mechanism.
 * A rare picture shows Oliver passing through Tidmouth Hault.
 * The picture of Duke from Bulldog is in the signal box.
 * When the narrator says "...and he was rough with the trucks", music is heard in the UK version but not in the US version.
 * In the American narration, the line "They waited and waited", is omitted.
 * In the British narration, the narrator says "old rundown station", whereas in the American narration, the narrator only says "old station".
 * The yard Oliver is in at the beginning of the episode is the Tidmouth Sheds set extensively redressed.
 * In the American narration, Oliver and Toad gain British accents.
 * A rare image implies that Henry and James were intended to have larger roles.

Goofs

 * In the UK narration, Michael Angelis' name is not present during the intro.
 * When Oliver bumps the trucks, they're facing him, but when they crash into the turntable, they are facing the other way.
 * Oliver should be working on the Little Western with Duck, not shunting trucks in the yard.
 * Oliver's driver should have known not to pass the red signal.
 * Oddly, when Oliver takes the post train, Toad is not his brakevan.
