Trivia
- This is the first time a member of the Conductor Family (Mr. Conductor) runs out of gold dust. The only other times were in One of the Family and the Magic Railroad film.
- At the end of this episode, when Stacy finished her speech of freedom, an instrumental version of My Country 'Tis of Thee, the de-facto national anthem of the United States, plays and uses the same tune as God Save the Queen, the British national anthem, which would also play instrumentally at the end of the Thomas story, Paint Pots and Queens - as a different composition - in the family special, Queen for a Day.
