Trivia[]
- This is the last VHS release to use the original Shining Time Station sun on the cover. It was also the last VHS to advertise the Thomas stories "as seen on Shining Time Station," due to the show ending the previous year. The next VHS Percy's Ghostly Trick and Other Thomas Stories was shown with a prototype cover which keeps the Shining Time Station sun but was removed possibly for the reason already mentioned.
- On the back of the VHS cover, an image from Trust Thomas is used.
- Some 1994 Quality Family Entertainment releases had Thomas' Christmas Party a few seconds after the credits.
