Flash Bang Wallop! and Percy and the Calliope translated as トーマスとしゃしん and パーシーとパイプオルガン follow a week later before Season Fourteen takes over the next two weeks in the correct series broadcast order.

Season Sixteen of Thomas & Friends premieres in Japan on NHK on Sunday April 8th 2012 with the episodes トーマスときゅうこうれっしゃ and トーマスとソドーとうのおと at 7:00am and 7:20am respectively.
