Trivia
- Thomas1Edward2Henry3 was always disappointed that it never showed how Diesel got his comeuppance. He was originally going to use it for a NWR Origins episode about Diesel, but scrapped it as Diesel is not part of the NWR 11.
- Events from Duck and the Diesel Engine are shown.
- Originally, this was going to be one episode, but the script proved too long to be squeezed into 15 minutes.
- This episode features a custom arrangement of Diesel's theme by Thomas1Edward2Henry3.
- Because of the limited faces of Diesel's 2012 model, the 2006 model had to be used for some shots.
- Ironically, both this and the previous episode Double Muddle open with the rain sound effect.
