Trivia

  • This is the only US VHS to feature Henry's left sided nameboard.
  • The line "We'll do it tomorrow, Sir Topham Hatt will look silly," is moved in two seconds early in Tenders and Turntables.
  • This is one of the few early Thomas US VHS Releases that was not given a DVD release. The reason why is because all the episodes on this release have already released on other DVDs. A notified example is A Big Day for Thomas, because most of its episodes were on this release.

Goofs

  • On the Strand VCI Entertainment  release, a yellow banner is seen at the top of the title card for Percy Runs Away. The banner is only visible in the safe area on the screen, and can be seen depending on the over-scan on the TV.
  • On the front cover of the Strand Home Video and Time-Life releases, the "s" in "Turntables" is missing.
  • On the back cover of the Strand Home Video release, "Toby the Tram Engine" is called "Toby the Train Engine".
