Trivia
- The DVD was released in 2004 in the Classic Collection boxset before being released individually in 2006.
- The original UK VHS was released both as a single cassette and double cassette release.
- The 2001 VHS spine uses screenshots from the third season episode, No Joke for James and the second season episode, Wrong Road.
- In the 2004 opening of the DVD, the scene of the signal from Thomas, Percy and the Coal is mirrored.
- The 2010 DVD cover features an image from the special, The Great Discovery, where Thomas' face has been edited. Therefore, Thomas' eyes are wonky.
- The 2012 release front cover features an image from the seventh season episode, Three Cheers for Thomas.
- The 2012 release back cover features an image from the eleventh season episode, Smoke and Mirrors.
- The back cover of the Australian double pack features images from the seventh season episode, Edward's Brass Band and the ninth season episode, Thomas and the Statue.
- In all the episodes of the Ukrainian release, Michael Angelis' voice can be heard in the background.
- In the 2010/2012 main menu, all the scenes are from Henry and the Elephant.
Goofs
- On both the VHS and DVD, some episodes are out of order:
- Four Little Engines comes before A Bad Day for Sir Handel and Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady, so viewers would not know about Falcon and Stuart being reintroduced as Sir Handel and Peter Sam respectively. Skarloey is also sent to the works but reappears in the other two episodes.
- Rock 'n' Roll comes before Home at Last, so viewers would not know who Duncan is. This is corrected on digital releases.
- Bowled Out comes before Train Stops Play, throwing the continuity of Stepney's visit to the Fat Controller's railway off.
- On the 2012 menu, Steam Roller is misspelled as "Streamroller."
