Goofs

 * When James puffs to the top of Gordon's Hill his wheels don't move.
 * When James arrives at Great Waterton, Thomas and Stanley don't have any snow on them.
 * It would be dangerous for James to use Hector as a snowplough, as this would damage his buffers.
 * When the trucks hit the snow, some of them derail, so bashing them would only make them derail more.
 * Wasn't going down the hill fast James' original idea before they got stuck in the snow?
 * A brakevan should have been added to James' train.
