On the Island of Sodor, two kinds of engines help keep Sir Topham Hatt's railway running smoothly - steamies and diesels. But is the Island big enough for both? It's not always easy for these engines to put aside their differences and work together. See what happens when the diesels tease Thomas. Will Thomas come to their aid when they need this Really Useful steamie's help? And when Gordon develops some very loud squeaks and rattles, will Sir Topham Hatt retire him to the yard for good? That's what the diesels say!

Get on board with the steamies and the diesels and see how they finally learn that, from brake pipe to buffer, all engines are more alike than not.

Trivia

  • The two "All Aboard with the Steam Team" episodes excluded on the US version were instead featured on the "Songs from the Station" DVD.
  • A prototype cover for the US and Canadian version featured an image of James, 'Arry, and Bert from Middle Engine on the bottom.
  • This is the first US and Canadian release narrated by Michael Brandon, as well as the first US episodic DVD not to be originally distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment. However, Anchor Bay was originally going to release it along with the VHS, but HiT Entertainment entirely took over the release.
  • This is the only US and Canadian DVD to contain Henry and the Wishing Tree and Squeak, Rattle and Roll.
  • The original trailer for this release, as seen on the New Friends for Thomas DVD features footage from Series 6 and 7.
  • At the end of the credits, after the "Produced By" credit, Thomas wheeshes steam and the text "Making Tracks to Great Destinations" appears.
  • The image for Thomas to the Rescue in the US episode selection menu uses the image from the cover.
  • Additional footage from It's Only Snow, Harold and the Flying Horse and Salty's Stormy Tale are featured in the Know Your Engines quiz, which is unique because the quiz game and the episodes were also on the Engines to the Rescue DVD.
  • On the 2009 UK and Irish DVD menu, a still scene from the ninth series episode, Thomas' New Trucks, is used.
  • A photoshopped image from Percy Gets it Right is on the front cover of the UK and Irish DVD.
  • Only the UK and Irish VHS release has a trailer for the Thomas & Friends DVDs. This is not present on the UK and Irish DVD release.
  • The episodes and learning segments paired in the South African DVD are similar to when they were paired in the half hour TV format airing, "Differences".
  • This is the last South African DVD release to feature episodes in the half hour TV format.

Goofs

  • Later reissues of the VCI UK and Irish DVD release contain the Australian version's data track due to a factory error, and so contain ABC Kids promos and logos, as well as the lack of the "Day Out with Thomas" promo, despite it being advertised.
    • When accessing the data tracks on a computer, the manufacturing date is 30 June 2006, far later than the initial 2004 release.
  • Percy is mirrored on the front cover of the UK and Irish DVD.
  • In the 2004 opening of the UK and Irish DVD menu, Percy has Gordon's whistle sound.
  • In the 2009 episode selection opening in UK, Henry has Thomas' whistle sound.
  • In the UK and Irish DVD, the subtitles for Thomas to the Rescue call 'Arry "Harry."
  • During the "Surprise Destination" learning segment in the UK and Irish DVD, Emily has Gordon's whistle sound.
  • The Australian Google Play cover shows Henry twice, replacing Percy.
  • In Thomas to the Rescue, when the narrator says "oiled Diesel", the subtitles say "boiled Deisel."
  • In the "Steamie or Diesel" game on the US DVD, Spencer is mistakenly called a diesel engine even though he is a steam engine. Whenever steamie is selected, Spencer says he actually has a horn instead of a whistle and even says he is a diesel engine.
  • On the US DVD menu, Annie and Clarabel's names are missing.
  • On the DVD booklet in Pick a Story, the first episode pictured was Squeak, Rattle and Roll instead of Thomas to the Rescue.
  • On the 2011 rerelease of the US DVD, the short version of the new HiT entertainment logo was shown twice. The first time it was shown was after the Thomas & Friends Website Screen and the second was after the LIONSGATE logo.
  • In the Steamie Stumpers Quiz:
    • It is said in Percy's New Whistle that Percy blew his whistle at Elizabeth when she was delivering food to the ducks, but it was actually Trevor who was delivering food to the sheep.
    • It is said in Thomas to the Rescue that Sir Topham Hatt sends Thomas to the quarry when Bill and Ben need to go in for repairs, but Bill and Ben are not acknowledged in the actual episode at all (save for an appearance in a deleted scene).
    • It is said in Henry and the Wishing Tree that cakes and buns splattered all over Henry when he tried to collect the Dining Car, even though nothing splattered all over Henry when he bumped the Dining Car at all.
    • It is said in Squeak, Rattle and Roll that Gordon blew his whistle to cover up the squeak, when he actually slowed down to cover it up.
  • On the front cover of the US DVD, Diesel's eyes are a bit wonky.
  • On the back cover of the Swedish DVD, the episodes are listed backwards.
