Revealing mistake: When the passengers lift Duncan back onto the rails, his trailing wheels are still derailed.
Audio problem: Thomas has James' whistle sound when he passes Sir Handel at the beginning.
Continuity mistake: When Thomas passes Gordon, Butch's magnet is attached to Thomas. In the next shot of Thomas, it isn't. And in the shot after that, the magnet is attached again.

Flour Power - S9-E26

Continuity mistake: After Thomas stops near the bridge, he does not have a Wonky Whistle.
Audio problem: Stepney's whistle sound changes throughout the entire episode. And in the UK and other versions (excluding US), Gordon, Duck, and Douglas have the same whistle sound.

Audio problem: When James leaves Crovan's Gate, he has Smudger's whistle sound.
