Trivia

 * This video is made in the style of a DC comic book.


 * In this video, Teresa Gallagher voices Millie instead of Miranda Raison.


 * Despite not having Minis models Annie, Clarabel, and Rocky appear, possibly foreshadowing their release in the range.
 * The Narrator in the dream sequence is a nod to William Dozier, the producer and narrator of the 1966 Batman Television Series.

Goofs

 * When Thomas, Spencer and Diesel arrive at the Dieselworks, Thomas is missing his number.
 * When Diesel 10 and Millie are at the Sodor Jail Diesel 10's right (viewer's left) wheel is separated.
 * Annie and Clarabel's names are not written on their sides.

Trivia

 * Thus far, every engine that has been released has a classic model and at least one other model.
 * In Australia, the Minis were only released as blind bag items and in separate waves, respectively marked by only the production batch number on the bags. This could be used to distinguished each new wave. So far, there have been 3 waves of Minis released in the number sequence of 1-18, 19-37 and 38-60 (Codes 57-60 include 4 of the exclusive DC Super Friends Mash-Ups). Each number is respective to a different character.
 * 99% of the time, the product number on the blind bags are distinctive to that particular engine.
 * Although the Minis are in 'blind bags' they can be clearly visible in certain areas of the bag.
 * Multiple prototypes differed for the final model:
 * Gator and Neon Bert had black wheels, Racer Spencer had grey wheels, and Metallic James had red wheels.
 * Charlie had a purple roof.
 * Old School Scruff had a black bufferbeam/footplate.
 * Old School Salty had a white face area, as well as grey bufferbeam/footplate and wheels.
 * Bash and Dash's prototypes have different wheels.
 * Multiple prototypes have much narrower front couplings.
 * Robo Toby's prototype has a black chassis instead of the gold one.
 * Spooky Porter's prototype has a black cape instead of a brown one.
 * Robo Millie had a special pattern on her wheels.


 * Since every model uses the same buffer-beam/footplate moulding:
 * Gordon and Diesel 10's models have round buffers instead of oval shaped ones.
 * Bash, Dash, and Millie's models have buffers.
 * Toby's model doesn't have side plates.


 * According to the waves of the blind bags released so far, it can be seen, that the Australian and Japanese blind bag waves order of characters released are identical and follow the same production sequence, with only slight alterations to the latter wave releases.
 * Since HiT Entertainment partners up with DC Comics, SiF is currently discussing on future crossovers to the models, such as Power Rangers, Muppets, My Little Pony, Star Wars, Marvel, etc.
 * Some Minis made some cameo's on ABC's Good Moring Amercia: Kid Toy Testers Make Big Bucks on YouTube.
