  • Digital Destruction:
    • In the restored version, a different take is used for the shot of Edward going over the bridge as Bertie passes underneath. As Bertie appears earlier in the restored version, his swerving isn't synced up to the sound effects properly.
    • Also in the restored version, as Edward descends the hill, a differently angled shot is used, meaning that the puffing sound effects used are slightly out of sync.
  • Edited for Syndication: When this episode aired on the Shining Time Station episode, "Washout", the opening scene where Edward and his crew wonder why Thomas hasn't shown up is cut, and as a result, the story begins during Bertie's first scene. This version of the episode was also novelized in the James in a Mess and other Thomas the Tank Engine Stories book. Fortunately, the full episode was released commercially on the James Goes Buzz Buzz VHS and DVD and aired on the Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales episode, "Splish, Splash, Splosh".
  • Prop Recycling: Upper Brendam (the station where Bertie finally catches up with Edward) reuses the platform from Knapford.
  • What Could Have Been: The shot of Bertie watching Edward puff across the Wellsworth Level Crossing originally gave him eyebrows on his tired face. As none of Bertie's other faces had eyebrows at this time, the scene was reshot on a different set (as evidenced by different greenery and the lack of white lines on the road) in the name of consistency.
