Goofs

• Cranky is at the wrong side of the docks.
• Winston's name is missing on his nameplate in one illustration.
• The way Thomas backs into the flatbed, it is very unlikely that the sled would be able to race away, if not impossible.
• The sled races away beside the track, but it somehow ends up on the rails when Thomas pulls it.
