Trivia

 * Thomas' Troubles is the pilot episode of The Tales of the Railways of Sodor.


 * Thomas' Troubles was written before the title for the series was chosen.


 * It is possible that TrackMFan Homer voices Thomas in this episode.


 * In the original script: all the stations were referred to as: "the station". The script was edited in November 2015 to fix this.


 * Thomas' Troubles was written in August 2015. Therefore, there is a significant improvement in writing quality in all other TTRS episodes compared to this one.
 * The script itself was edited in November 2015, with a few missed information fixed as well as separating story parts to make narration easier. The story itself, though, wasn't changed with the script edit.


 * Thomas' Troubles is the only TTRS episode to use Sodor Workshops' old Elsie model. Sodor Workshops released its updated Elsie model when filming was half-done, and it would of looked awkward to use both models of a single character in one video.


 * Thomas' Troubles is almost completely filmed. A few scenes are left to film. Editing on it, though, hasn't yet started.


 * A preview of "Thomas' Troubles" was uploaded onto Youtube in September 2015.
