Sidney is shunting a flatbed of engine parts, but he cannot remember what he is supposed to be doing with them since Diesel jolted his memory. Paxton thinks this sounds like a kind of mystery that can only be solved by a Special Agent.

Rebecca is the third engine to have NWR lettering painted on her, with Emma being the first and Rosie second.

One of the first episodes of the Nitrogen era, "Double Trouble", started with an episode featuring Sir Topham Hatt's birthday. The second-to-last episode of that era, "Happy Birthday Sir!", did the same. Before landing on Rebecca as a name, the production team had also considered the names Miranda and Charlotte. Rebecca first arrived on the Island of Sodor after Henry moved out of Tidmouth Sheds and Sir Topham Hatt wanted another engine to help with Gordon and the Express, though she arrived a day earlier than what Sir Topham Hatt expected and nearly bumped him and Winston off the rails when she tried to stop at Knapford. Her first job was to pull the express, though she caused a small mishap when she accidentally collected Flying Scotsman's passengers at Vicarstown early. After hearing how the other engines of the Steam Team mention how fast and strong they are, Rebecca decided that she would leave the stations early to prove how she can get things done fast. Unfortunately, this caused a lot of confusion and the passengers got angry. Sir Topham Hatt scolded her at the end of her first day about what was happening and Rebecca apologised for what she did, making up for it and even surprising the Flying Scotsman. Thomas's confidence in being the number 1 engine is challenged when his number is covered in paint, and he gets delayed several times while delivering lanterns. With some help from his friends, though, he learns that he is the number one engine due to his reliability. Dowager Hatt's Busy Day" is a giant middle finger towards the Nitrogen era, taking potshots at the bizarre deliveries that the engines were assigned to take throughout the era.Rebecca shares her name with Hilary Fortnam's granddaughter. Fortnam was the youngest daughter of The Railway Series creator Wilbert Awdry. When Gordon looks up at the crumbling bridge, a steam effect appears in the bottom right corner for a split second. To make the play props, you’ll print out the illustrations that show Thomas & his friends in whole. The series serves as a reboot of the original Thomas & Friends series that ran from 1984 until 2021. It was originally believed to be a continuation of the original series (with the two seasons labeled as series 25 and 26), but Mattel Television later confirmed it to be a separate series. [2] [3] It introduces "an entirely new approach to Thomas & Friends content," with a new animation style and story structure. She is the only member of the Steam Team to not appear in any of the feature-length specials of the series since they all take place before she arrived on Sodor.

When Gordon must go to the far side of the island for the day, he assigns Thomas to be in charge of his friends assignments. After not listening to Gordon, Thomas gets him and his friends in serious trouble. He assigns Percy the rush mail shipment that goes over the Sodor Suspension Bridge, Nia with heavy stone, Kana with a passenger run, and Diesel with really light pillows. As none of these jobs suit the engines, there are problems with their deliveries, eventually resulting in a big crash. Upon taking the time to listen to his friends, he learns that jobs will only go smoothly if you listen to your crew.The episodes—and until Hero of the Rails, the characters' dialogue as well—are told through a narrator, initially Ringo Starr. Following Starr's departure in 1990, the UK and US dubs acquired distinct narrators, with George Carlin, Alec Baldwin and, ultimately, Michael Brandon wielding the role for US audiences, while the UK dub consistently retained Michael Angelis as narrator. For series 17, both Angelis and Brandon were replaced by Mark Moraghan, reunifying both English dubs' narration for the first time in decades; Moraghan would hold the (progressively less prominent) role until series 22, in which the omniscient narrator was finally eliminated entirely in favour of Thomas framing each episode through Breaking the Fourth Wall.

The last day of Yong Bao's visit to Sodor comes much too fast for the other engines' liking, who are convinced he'll forget them without a souvenir. When they fail in this task, however, they learn that nobody is forgotten permanently, and that there will be other chances for Yong Bao to visit.
