  • This video marks the only time that the Culdee Fell Railway is mentioned in the television series.

Goofs[]

  • The Narrator says there are only two track gauges on Sodor but Arlesdale Railway uses a third, minimum gauge.
    • This was likely because the standard gauge North Western Railway and the narrow gauge Skarloey Railway were the only railways featured in the television series at that time and it would not be until three years later in the special, Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure that the Arlesdale Railway would finally appear.
    • Also, when the narrator states that Sir Topham Hatt is in charge of the standard gauge lines, the Arlesdale Railway, the now-defunct Mid Sodor Railway, and "The Railroad" are highlighted despite the Arlesdale Railway being a minimum gauge railway, the Mid Sodor Railway being a narrow gauge railway in itself and "The Railroad" having not been around since 1865.
  • Poll-ny-Chrink and Skarloey lake is mapped out like it is a small island with rivers surrounding it rather than a lake.
