Goofs

 * Bill and Ben's page states that their letters SCC stand for Sodor Construction Company, while they actually stand for Sodor China Clay.
 * Bertie is missing his radiator.
 * Hank and Edward are incorrectly referred to as tank engines.
 * Donald and Douglas' page states that they were first painted blue and later were painted black.
 * Duncan's page incorrectly states that he used to be painted red. It also states that he arrived as a spare engine while Skarloey was repaired, when it was actually Peter Sam.
 * On Diesel 10's page, it says that he chased Thomas and Percy onto the viaduct when it was actually Thomas and Lady. In the US publication, this has been corrected.
 * On Harold's page, it says that the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre is built on Misty Island.
 * Rocky is missing his wheels on his page.
 * On Daisy's page, Thomas' Branch Line is referred to as Percy's branch line.
 * Colin is incorrectly labelled as a Diesel crane instead of a steam crane.
 * Elizabeth is incorrectly labelled as a petrol lorry instead of a steam lorry, regardless of the fact it says she is a steam lorry in the first sentence.
 * Daisy is incorrectly illustrated as having ten wheels instead of eight. Her description also states that she has ten wheels.
 * Sir Handel and Oliver are described as having four wheels instead of six.
 * Freddie is described as having eight wheels instead of ten.
 * Arthur's page states that he's the biggest tank engine, when it is actually Belle.
 * Skarloey's page states that he was mended for a long time while Rheneas ran the railway by himself, when it was actually the other way round.
 * James is missing his coupling rods.
