Trivia

 * The front cover features images from Thomas Comes to Breakfast, Off the Rails, and Trust Thomas, even though those episodes aren't on the VHS.
 * Although Cows is an even-numbered episode, the credits uses the last scene from Duck Takes Charge. The same thing happened in another UK VHS, Thomas' Christmas Party and 17 other stories. It presumably is due to the fact that the original credits for the episode mention Thomas, Percy and the Coal.

Goofs

 * The description of Four Little Engines says Sir Handel has trouble with trucks, when they are actually coaches.
 * Despite the VHS's title, most of the episodes are not focused on a chase, a race or a runaway.
 * A comma is missing from the video title.
