Trivia

 * The theme tune has the same melody as Set Friendship in Motion albeit a different song with altered lyrics.
 * The logo of Big World! Big Adventures! in the prototype version had bigger letters highlighted in blue, but the final version used mismatched sized letters that are all yellow. The prototype logo also faded on the screen, while the final on dropped in letter by letter.
 * A version of this song featuring the diesel engines was featured in the twenty-third series episode, Diesel Do Right, sung by Kerry Shale. In a sense of irony for this version, Shale originally auditioned for Thomas in Hero of the Rails.
 * The South African Version of the theme tune, performed by Bobby Van Jaarsveld, is at a lower pitch and key.
