Stories and Stunts

Stories and Stunts is a series of online videos featuring merchandise of the characters on a homemade diorama-style background in the middle of a plot point. The videos are narrated by children, and unlike past videos, the characters interact with the narrator. The first video was uploaded to the official YouTube channel on August 31, 2019.

Goofs

 * The city in the story has railway tracks in freeway-style patterns instead of road, and a waterfall, drawbridge and small boat dock appearing inside it. Despite this, a traffic light is used instead of a signal.
 * As Thomas tells the narrator his job, he passes a set of points with one side having no buffers despite being a dead end.
 * Thomas claims to be pulling passenger coaches, but he actually take his passengers in a single red van.
 * When Thomas leaves the station, his wheels move before he actually departs.
 * Emily is missing her tender during a transition.
 * Fishing line is visible throughout many of the movement scenes.
 * There appears to be a large amount of waterways throughout the city when there shouldn't be.
 * For a split second, Rebecca's tender is missing and she has a open wagon in it's place.
 * When Bulstrode meets up with Thomas, James' tender can be seen on it's side and there are wooden tracks piled beside Cranky. Cranky also has tracks leading underneath him and end without buffers.
 * Bulstrode moves faster than his basis in this video.
 * Adhesive can be seen in front of Thomas' rear wheel and behind his funnel whenever he talks to Bulstrode.
 * Bulstrode is short enough to go under the drawbridge while it's closed, but it opens anyway, and much faster than it would in real life.
 * The Drawbridge opens all the way, but when Thomas jumps it, the halves are farther apart and the pieces are only raised by a fraction.
 * During the race, Thomas can be seen jumping onto tracks on top of skyscrapers. This would be dangerous and impractical in real life. He also lands with his rear wheels derailed.
 * There aren't any tracks leading a good distance over a cliff. Thomas would've also fallen off and sink the boat if he tried to land on it.
 * Bulstrode's basis would be unable to jump a waterfall and would've sunk if trying to land.
 * The design of the boat dock's setup would've crashed an engine.
 * The stranding of the passengers in this episode wouldn't be possible in real life.
