Trivia

• Despite being the same station building from the Shining Time Station television series, the exterior and interior are completely different.
• Shining Time had a large mural with a railway tunnel which was a gateway into the Magic Railroad, only using gold dust.
• The station in the movie:
  • The exterior scenes were filmed at Castletown Railway Station on the Isle of Man Railway, which was redecorated for filming purposes; the "Shining Time Co-Op" building was actually a goods shed.
  • The interior scenes were filmed at Balthane Film Studio, a converted warehouse on the Balthane Industrial Estate in Ballasalla, Isle of Man. This same studio was used for Space Island One. The studio closed in 2002 and turned into a workshop.
  •  The scenes involving the Rainbow Sun locomotive were filmed at the Strasburg Railroad depot and had a facade of the station built for those scenes.
