Trivia
- The filedates of the DVD show that it was finished on October 31, 2005.
- This marks the first of two things:
- The first time the eighth series opening credits is paired with The Britt Allcroft Company logo.
- The first US release captioned by JR Media Services Inc. since Steamies vs. Diesels.
- This marks the only video of a few things:
- The only US home media release to have Donald and Douglas on the front cover.
- The only release where Fergus Breaks the Rules is titled Thomas and the Search for Fergus, and thus the only American release to re-title Fergus Breaks the Rules at all.
- The only release to have Troublesome Trucks song from the Classic Series and all the episodes exclusive to this release (excluding Bad Day at Castle Loch and Oliver the Snow Engine).
- This marks the last of three things:
- The last VHS to use the Britt Allcroft logo at the beginning.
- The last DVD until Signals Crossed without Engine Roll Call at the end and the last VHS without one.
- The last Thomas & Friends VHS released by Anchor Bay Entertainment.
- On the 2015 Double Feature DVD, the Computer Fun activity is no longer present.
Goofs
- Executive Producer Peter Urie is not listed in the credits.
- In the Universal release of the Double Feature, the Fun and Games menu appears first instead of the main menu just like Track Stars.
- The captions misinterpret Diesel saying "Don't interfere!" as "Darn it to fear!", the narrator saying "The engines on the Islands of Sodor" and incorrectly refers "Troublesome Trucks" as "Trucks and Trucks".
- In the Character Gallery, part of Donald and Douglas' buffers are cut off.
- In the Sodor Spelling Game, Rusty makes chuffing sounds, despite him being a diesel.
- On the 2006 Fun and Games menu when you select Computer Fun, the whistle is heard when Toby comes out of the shed, despite him having a bell.
- In the Character Gallery, steam effects appear Cranky and Sir Topham Hatt despite Cranky being a crane and Sir Topham Hatt being a human.
