Sally Thomsett was 20 when she was cast as 11-year-old Phyllis. Her contract forbade her to reveal her true age during the making of the film and she was not allowed to be seen smoking, drinking, going out with her boyfriend or driving the sports cars that were her passion. Even the film crew did not know her true age.
Lionel Jeffries grounded Jenny Agutter and Sally Thomsett when he caught them in a nightclub in Leeds after they had sneaked off the set for a night on the town.
Sally Thomsett, who played Phyllis, the younger sister, is actually 2 years older than Jenny Agutter who played big sister Bobbie.
All of the vintage locomotives used in the film are still surviving today.

"Mrs. Waterbury: May I borrow your lamp please. Cart Man: I dare say. Mrs. Waterbury: If you say 'I dare say' once more I shall have hysterics, I dare say."
"Bobbie Waterbury: It's Perks's birthday, he's 42, he says he got other things to keep than his birthday, not rabbits and secrets but the kids and the bloomin' missus. Mrs. Waterbury: Wife and children Bobbie. Bobbie Waterbury: Same thing isn't it? Phyllis Waterbury: Bloomin' missus is a sort of a germ of endearment isn't it? Mrs. Waterbury: Term of endearment Phil."
