Trivia
- The plot is similar to the tenth series episode, Thomas and the Treasure.
- Most of the props and sets (most notably the engines and the passenger coach) are reused from A Circus Comes to Town.
- Thomas and Percy's real-life prototypes are both mentioned. One of the enthusiasts refers to Percy as an "Avonside SS class Trojan 0-4-0 ST" and Thomas as a "Billinton E2".
- Ben Small voices Thomas and Keith Wickham voices Gordon, James, Percy and Harold.
- Unlike the other Live shows, this one only played in Australia as well as Asian countries such as Hong Kong or Singapore. Its production company also produced other Asian exclusive live shows based on HiT Entertainment properties.
- This show modified some of the engines to have features like improved mouth articulation and moving eyebrows.
- Some of the props from the original show are currently in Singapore, where the last show was performed. The models of James and Gordon are excluded and appear to have been sold off.
