The following morning, it is revealed that the Works were badly damaged in the storm and Elizabeth is told to take the workmen's tools to a new works up in the hills.

Goofs

In the 2011 version, a quotation mark is missing in the sentence, "'We couldn't go to the Works,' chuckled the happy little engines, the works have come to us!'". There should be a quotation mark before "the works have come to us".
Rheneas' boiler bands are oddly arranged.
In one illustration, Rheneas is missing a window on the side of his cab.
For some odd reason, Tidmouth Sheds is potrayed as the old works but without rails.
In the 2007 version, Duke's funnel is said to be cracked, but the crack is only visible in the final illustration.
In the final illustration, Duke's funnel is not attached to him.
Elizabeth's face looks more masculine than her actual face.
