1 visible crew/equipment mistake in Pop Goes the Diesel
Starring: Alec Baldwin, Michael Brandon, Ben Small, Martin Sherman, Michael Angelis
Plot hole: When Duck and Diesel leave the shed, Diesel follows Duck instantly, but the tracks they are on both lead to the turntable. As they are on different tracks to each other, it would be impossible for Diesel to follow Duck that quickly as the turntable could only be set to one track at a time.
Thomas: Wake up lazy bones - do some hard work for a change.
