Trivia

 * The diesel shunters all appear to reuse Paxton and Diesel's faces with minor modifications. One of the diesels also appears to have a face similar in appearance to Diesel's original CGI face from the Thomas and the Stinky Cheese CGI test.
 * Even though there are apparently five diesel shunters, only three are ever really seen throughout the special.
