Trivia
* The book released to promote Track Stars included a prototype cover, which Percy was not on, and a different description hinting the focus would be on the entire Steam Team, rather than just Thomas, Percy, Emily, and James. * A complimentary copy of Tales from the Tracks, with a different cover and no bonus features, was given to anyone who attended the Thomas and Friends 60th anniversary party in Hatfield House, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom in 2005. * On the Norwegian DVD, James Gets a New Coat is renamed "James Gets Painted". * Track Stars was the last independent US home video release from HiT Entertainment; so all future releases would be distributed by other companies (starting with 20th Century Fox on Tales from the Tracks ). * A second Spanish version of this DVD was released by 20th Century Fox, but the DVD only included Spanish audio track and it had no menus. * In the 2014 re-release in the fun and games section, the DVD-ROM Depot and HiT Extras are removed.

Goofs
* In the fun and games menu, Percy's siderods are not moving. * In Level 2 of "James' Colors of Sodor" game, James mispronounces Farmer McColl as "Farmer McCool" * In Level 1 of "James' Color of Sodor game, James states that Wilbert is purple when he is actually blue. * The 2009 Lionsgate release doesn't list the episodes on the back cover and the disc is the same as the 2005/2006 release. * Michael Angelis is credited in the opening of the Norwegian DVD. * In the Lionsgate and Universal Home Entertainment re-release's after going to the DVD menu on HiT Entertainment Auto Play, it takes you to the Fun and Games menu for unknown reasons. * In the Universal Home Entertainment re-release in the selection menu, the video plays in the Character Gallery.
