Trivia

• Individual voice actors (including Ben Small and Keith Wickham) provide the voices for the engines.
• This show marks Kuffy's only speaking role to date.
• Gordon and James do not properly come out of the sheds. The likely reason is that it was too expensive to make working engines, as well as them being too big for most auditorium stages.
