Calling All Engines! is a series of informative and interactive segments released alongside the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth series of Thomas & Friends. They are hosted by Sir Topham Hatt and Sir Robert Norramby. Most of the segments feature one engine and a few of them feature two engines.
Some of the segments were originally released on the official Fisher-Price website.

Trivia
- Specially made footage was used for the "Who's That Engine?" segments.
- In the Dutch dub of the series, the segments are called "Alle Locomotieven Verzamelen!", which translates to "All Locomotives Gather!".
- In the "Who's That Engine?" segment featuring Thomas, one of the clues the Fat Controller uses to describe him are "six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel and a short stumpy dome", which is a direct reference to the first series episode, Thomas and Gordon.
- Thomas and Gordon's Really Useful Engine segments were updated on the Fisher-Price website.
