On the Island of Sodor, two kinds of engines help keep Sir Topham Hatt's railway running smoothly - steamies and diesels. But is the Island big enough for both? It's not always easy for these engines to put aside their differences and work together. See what happens when the diesels tease Thomas. Will Thomas come to their aid when they need this Really Useful steamie's help? And when Gordon develops some very loud squeaks and rattles, will Sir Topham Hatt retire him to the yard for good? That's what the diesels say!
Get on board with the steamies and the diesels and see how they finally learn that, from brake pipe to buffer, all engines are more alike than not.

Trivia
- This is the first DVD to be part of the Hit Series era of Thomas and Friends. It was also the first US release narrated by Michael Brandon, as well as the first US episodic DVD not to be originally distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment.
- The original trailer from New Friends for Thomas features footage from series 6 and 7.
- At the end of the credits, after the "Produced By" credit, Thomas wheeshes steam and the text "Making Tracks to Great Destinations" appears.
- The image for Thomas to the Rescue in the US episode selection menu uses the image from the US DVD cover.
- Additional footage from It's Only Snow, Harold and the Flying Horse and Salty's Stormy Tale are featured in the Know Your Engines quiz, which is unique because the quiz game and the episodes were also on the Engines to the Rescue DVD.
- Despite saying it on the back cover, some of the UK DVD releases do not include the Day Out with Thomas preview in the Extras selection probably because they started with the ABC for Kids ident and trailer. Additionally, a different scene of Squeak, Rattle and Roll was used for the opening of the Extras selection. The 2009 re-release does not include the preview either.
- On the 2009 UK DVD menu, a still scene from the ninth series episode, Thomas' New Trucks, is used.
- Only the VHS release in the UK has a trailer for the Thomas and Friends DVDs. This is not present on the UK DVD release.
- This is the only US release to be captioned by JR Media Services Inc. until Thomas and the Really Brave Engines and Other Adventures.
