Trivia
- Although Thomas was able to traverse Japanese standard gauge tracks in the shorts, the standard gauge track in Japan is actually narrower than the international standard gauge tracks, meaning that Thomas would not be able to run on Japanese rails without modifications. The majority of the Japanese rail network also uses narrow gauge and meter gauge tracks, with standard gauge tracks used exclusively by shinkansen trains.
