Goofs

• The episodes of this season are listed in the completely wrong order on the "Complete Seventh Season" DVD. "What's the Matter with Henry?", "Bulgy Rides Again" and "Salty's Stormy Tale" are all placed before "Emily's New Coaches" when she was properly introduced. Likewise, Murdoch was first seen in "Best Dressed Engine" before he was properly introduced in "Peace and Quiet".
