Trivia

Goofs

  • The original VHS release stated that there were two all-new episodes. However, Trucks had already been released on the Rusty to the Rescue and Other Thomas Stories VHS under the title "Rusty Helps Peter Sam." This happened on the previous VHS release, Thomas' Christmas Wonderland and Other Thomas Adventures, in which Thomas and Percy's Christmas Adventure was released under its UK title and was marketed as a new episode.
  • The VHS also stated that there were six all-new songs. Accidents Will Happen, however, had been previously released on Races, Rescues and Runaways and Other Thomas Adventures.
  • When Gordon and the Gremlin begins, the episode title is not shown, only Storyteller Alec Baldwin is seen.
  • Rusty Helps Peter Sam is referred to by its original UK title "Trucks" on this release.
  • On the DVD subtitles, Sir Handel is incorrected as "Sir Handle".
  • In the intermission sequences, Bill and Ben are incorrectly switched in their respective individual shots.
  • On the front cover of the DVD release, Thomas has his brake pipe on the wrong side, the windmill sails are red, and the side of Toby's cowcatcher is blue.
  • On the DVD version, during the last few seconds seconds of the intro you can hear an audio splice.
