James and the Trouble with Trees - S5-E5

Revealing mistake: In the end of the episode, you can see James doesn't have his face fitted on correctly, as the gap between it and his eyes appears to be exposed.

Cranky Bugs - S5-E1

Plot hole: When Cranky drops his load by Thomas' flatbeds, all four tracks end in the shed behind him, so it should've be impossible for Thomas to first approach Cranky from that direction as it is shown on the screen.

Horrid Lorry - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When Lorry 1 returns after falling into the sea, he is covered in algae and seaweed even though he wasn't submerged. He gains some more of it when Thomas sees him.

Lady Hatt's Birthday Party - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When George crashes, the Fat Controller falls into the ditch head first, but in the following shot he is sinking feet first.

Toby and the Flood - S5-E10

Factual error: The dam was built concaved from the water it holds back, but it would have been built convex in order to do so.
