Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends

Wonky Whistle - S15-E17

Factual error: A "wonky" whistle doesn't sound like a slide whistle, it should sound like a weakened version of the correct whistle mixed with the hissing sound of steam. A "wonky" whistle would also leak steam constantly instead of being blown like a normal whistle.

Season 8 generally

Factual error: In the "Steamie or Diesel" game on the "All Aboard with the Steam Team" DVD, Spencer is incorrectly called a diesel even though he is a steamie. Whenever you get the wrong button, Spencer says he actually has a horn instead of a whistle and even says he is a diesel engine.

Cautious Connor - S20-E15

Factual error: At the beginning of the episode, the narrator says that Connor and Caitlin are faster than Spencer, but Spencer, an LNER A4, holds the world speed record for steam locomotives.

Fiery Flynn - S15-E20

Factual error: In the U.K. narration, when Flynn sees Gordon, the narrator says "Flynn steamed in to a stop." but Flynn isn't steam powered. This mistake is fixed in the U.S. narration.
