Goofs[]
- In the aerial view of the traffic jam, a number of the engines from the past scene have been duplicated (with the exception of Gordon) to indicate more characters.
- The engines' tenders have also been duplicated as wagons and Kenji has blue tenders behind him despite being an electric engine.
- James is seen coming from the way opposite to where Nia is leaving the crossing area, despite having already been seen at the centre of the traffic jam.
- Because of reused audio effects from the previous episode, Nia's whistle, Carly's horn, and a second horn similar to Philip's from the original series were heard in the traffic jam despite no steam coming out of Nia's whistle, Philip not appearing in All Engines Go, Carly not being in the traffic jam, and no other diesel or electric locomotives appearing besides Kenji.
- In one scene of the traffic jam, Gordon's face is red.
- In the same scene and the previous scene, his dome is missing and a black piece (likely his left smokebox frame) is layered over his front left wheel arch and left cylinder pipe.
- In the front view of the traffic jam, Emily is not seen.
