Trivia[]
- This book was published before P.T. Boomer was cut from the film, as he is seen and mentioned.
- The first illustration of Henry references The Sad Story of Henry.
- The first illustration of Shining Time Station's mural shows Thomas to the left (viewer's right) and a ship to the right (viewer's left) of Mr. Conductor's signal house but when it is next seen, the ship has taken Thomas' place.
- Despite not appearing in the film, Bulstrode is included in the book, while Bertie is not.
Goofs[]
- The title is a bit misleading because "engines" is a way of calling all types of locomotives and not steam engines. A magazine story with a similar title has "Steam Engines" correctly.
