* CreatorsFavorite: Although he stated in his Q&A video that he is happy with all his episodes and wouldn't rewrite any of them, Victor does have some favorites. When asked the question "What's your favorite episode of your series that you worked on?", Victor answered that he is rather proud of "Diagnosis". He also gave that episode as an answer to the question of "What do you think was your best video?"

** Season 4 was originally to have an overarching story involving the Wiki/SCPFoundation trying to get the rights of non-faceless vehicles revoked (likely because they had declared them a collective SCP that needs to be contained).

* {{Jossed}}: Several users believed Adam's final fate would be retiring to the Bluebell Railway, which does indeed have a locomotive of Adam's class that was mentioned by Stepney in the Railway Series. Instead, [[spoiler: he was diagnosed with advanced metal fatigue, which is treated in-universe like the non-faceless vehicle equivalent of cancer, and undergoes the Final Firing, which, if you haven't read the main page yet, is ''assisted suicide''.]]

** "Robbery" was originally the fourth episode of the season, and was called "Return". It would have dealt with the ghost of Station Master Jeffreys. There was also no indication that Cuthbert was [[spoiler:this universe's version of Johnny Cuba]].
** "Treasure" also originally came earlier in the season. The preview implied that the Thin Controller was hiding Nazi gold somewhere along the Skarloey Railway, with several commenters theorizing he himself was a Nazi sympathizer.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: At the end of "Diagnosis", Edward mentions that the new transfer to Sodor after [[spoiler:Donald moved to the Brendam Branch to fill the vacancy left by the deceased Adam]] created a stir. The trailer for Season 4, however, all but spells out that the new engine is [=BoCo=].
