Trivia[]

- In Germany, it is called the Güterwagen, which translates to "Freight Wagon".
- The Troublesome Brakevan has a stamped white face as it was intended to look like a plastic face that other engines in the range have. This process was however more expensive than the stenciled face the Troublesome Truck uses.
- According to Roy Wilson, the Troublesome Brakevan was available for short period because it was not very popular and did not sell well to consumers.
- In the 1994 yearbook and pamphlet, the Troublesome Brakevan is misspelled as Troublesome Breakvan.
