Audio problem: In the 1992 "Thomas Gets Tricked" VHS release, the music stops and a man's voice says, "Look out for the train!" when Thomas climbs up Gordon's Hill. The voice can still be heard in the 1995 release, but the music does not stop.
Continuity mistake: When Thomas is organizing the trucks, in a second close-up of a truck, the background disappears in mid-sentence.
Continuity mistake: Throughout most of the sequence where Thomas pulls the Troublesome Trucks, the trucks keep changing positions numerous times and many of the trucks disappear and reappear. Also, in a few scenes, there is only 1 truck or just 5 trucks.
Continuity mistake: When Thomas goes through Henry's tunnel, the first van in his train has one bogey. When he comes out, the van has two bogeys.
Continuity mistake: When Thomas leaves Knapford, there is a van in front of the brake van. When Thomas approaches Henry's tunnel, that van disappears.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the order in the sheds is Henry, Thomas, Gordon, James and Edward. But, when Thomas is complaining, the order is now Thomas, Gordon, James, Edward and Henry.
Other mistake: When the narrator says "the conductor blew his whistle" the conductor is holding his green flag but he is not blowing his whistle.
Continuity mistake: After Thomas organized the trucks, he is facing the trucks, then suddenly he is facing away from the trucks instantly.
Visible crew/equipment: When Thomas races through Elsbridge station, you can see a hand drop in and out of the shot on the top right.
