Trivia

  • Mark Moraghan served as the narrator for the original game until 2022. Meesha Contreras is now the narrator for the US dub while Aaron Barashi serves as the UK narrator.
    • Moraghan narrated the original game from a third person point of view, while the current narrators do it in first person.
  • This is the first time in the original series in which Raul is mentioned by Mark Moraghan.
  • Several themes are remixed for this app, including a remix of the original version of Really Useful Engine during daytime gameplay, a ditty of Sir Topham Hatt when freeing the engines from Tidmouth Sheds, or going into stations to pick up and drop off passengers, Another Busy Day on the Trains when at Brendam Docks, Sodor Steamworks, Farmer McColl's Farm, the Pig Farm and Henry's Tunnel, Fun in the Rain when on Crazy Coaster Mountain (Cannonball Curve), the Lava Quarry Race, the Boulder Cliffs Escape (before the All Engines Go revamp, the minigame does not have it), Waterslide Mountain, the Big Bridge, and Sounds during daytime gameplay as well.
  • Edward is currently the only member of the original Steam Team not included in this app.
  • The "Waterslide Mountain" minigame was originally called "Splash Mountain". It was likely changed because the name 'Splash Mountain' is trademarked by Disney.
  • When it was available on Google Play, the game was named Magic Tracks.
  • Before it was updated in 2022, this was the only existing game that has Rosie in her lavender livery from the original series.
  • Textures for Clarabel exist in Annie's texture sheet, even though Clarabel does not appear in the game.
  • The main theme for this game is originally from Thomas Saves the Day.

Goofs

  • None of the tender engines have their tenders in the minigames, possibly due to their length.
  • Some of the engines' side rods are not rendered correctly, mostly with simpler designs.
  • Mavis and Diesel 10 make puffing sounds despite being diesel engines.
  • Both Gordon's buffers and the bufferbeam on the backside of his tender are blue instead of black and red respectively.
  • Mavis' bufferbeam is grey or black when it should be red.
  • Victor is portrayed as a standard gauge engine.
  • Ashima has Spencer's whistle sound.
  • Ashima is also incorrectly depicted as a 0-10-0 instead of a 0-8-2
  • Diesel 10 has Derek's/Salty's current horn sound.
  • Belle has Emily's seventh series whistle sound at two steps higher-pitched.
  • Victor has Peter Sam's fourth series whistle sound at four steps lower-pitched.
  • Raul has Spencer's whistle sound at some steps lower-pitched.
  • In the original Get All the Toys! Box, Thomas and Spencer are not seen and for All Engines Go, Thomas is not seen.
  • Much like in Express Delivery:
    • Ryan has Henry's whistle sound at a high pitch.
    • Toby has Flora's bell sound that was also used for Lady in some games and on her ride at Drayton Manor Theme Park still, before Flora was introduced into the television series.
    • Henry has the same tender design as Gordon and has blue wheels.
    • The tender engines' tenders are taller than they are.
    • The tops of Ryan's tanks are red.
    • At the Docks, Cranky had a black face in one update. This bug was later fixed. He was also light green, but was eventually changed back to dark green.
    • Spencer's tender is incorrectly positioned backwards.
    • Gordon has a moustache.
    • Emily has her Calling All Engines! whistle sound. This was fixed in the updated version.
    • Mavis has her Calling All Engines! horn sound.
  • Certain minigames when played by specific engines break the game in some way or another, such as Henry at Crazy Coaster Mountain or Emily at Tidmouth Sheds. This was possibly due to certain actions not being coded in properly or at all.
  • When any engine goes into the Haunted Castle, a light is seen cast out above the camera. Since this minigame is in a first-person camera angle, this would have to be an engine's headlamp above their smokebox. However, not all engines have headlamps in this position.
  • In the post-2022 updates, Tidmouth Sheds is incorrectly pronounced as "tid-MOWF". The correct pronunciation is "tid-MUF".
