Trivia

 * This season introduces the most characters due date.
 * This would be the first season in the US not to air on Shining Time Station.
 * The episodes would have aired in chronological order in UK and US airings.
 * Callan Station would have been inroduced as the last station on the Little Western before Arlesdale instead of being part of the Misty Valley Branch. Instead the Misty Valley Branch would have been introduced in as a connection from Thomas' branch line to the Little Western in the sixth season.
 * Toby's Windmill's themes for BoCo, Rheneas, Sir Handel, Peter Sam and Duke would have been played during this season.
 * Mr. Percial would replace Sir Topham Hatt as controller of the Skarloey Railway during the first few years of the railway in the TV Series.

Episode Changes

 * Various episodes - Rheneas would be absent in all the episodes and scenes where he's suppose to be away at the works.
 * Special Funnel - Sir Handel and Duncan would replace Skarloey and Rheneas at the end when Peter Sam passes Rheneas Sheds.
 * Thomas and Stepney - The episode would mostly remain the same but with Stepney's introduction remaining RWS accurate. Rusty along with the reference to Rusty to the Rescue would be omitted with the scene being repaced with a reference of the scrapyards mentioned by Percy and Douglas from Bluebells of England.
 * Oliver Gets the Bird - Based on the annual story; the TV series adaption would follow shunterproductions's adaption of the story; Donald, Douglas, Toad, Alice, Mirabel, Isabel and Dulcie would also appear.
 * Edward and the River Rose - Based on the magazine story; BoCo, Bear, Bill, Ben and Trevor would also make appearances in the TV Series adaption.
 * Thomas and the Special Letter - Remains the same but Daisy and Bear would also make cameos during the engine parade in the beginning.
