The show is to be set in 1874. 2 years before Edison invented electricity. The trains that were gifted were electric. The house could not possibly be receptive. No outlets on wall.
The handle on Mr. Ratch's safe doesn't move when he unlocks and locks it.
When Loveless opens the satchel of money he has just stolen from Jeremiah Ratch, among the currency is a bundle of 1915 Mexican Revolution Chihuahua Diez (10) Pesos banknotes; paper money that wouldn't exist until 41 years after this episode took place.
One of the toys Loveless has lying around his lair (in 1874) is a "Raggedy Andy" plush doll. Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy were created in 1915 by cartoonist Johnny Gruelle.
An on-screen title announces this story takes place in 1874, but the hymn "Throw Out the Life Line," which the street children sing, was not composed until 1888, fourteen years later.
The toy Loveless uses as a "Trojan horse" is a product created by Remco in the early 1960s called "The Big Parade". It consisted of three toy soldiers attached to a drum, they marched and had sound effects. The toy was made of styrene plastic. Styrene didn't exist until the post WWII years.
In Bessie's room there was a cylinder phonograph with a reproduction horn which didn't appear until around 1899, 25 years after the time of the episode.

Perhaps Robert Conrad's contract had a "pretty" clause in it.
When Loveless is running from the shop with the stolen satchel, he is about 20 feet away from Artie who yells "stop that boy!"
Artie could have easily ran and caught up to the diminutive Loveless, who was trying to run while carrying the satchel loaded with five million dollars.
Artie stands there and yells instead of taking action.

When Artie enters the room full of people chained to their beds he tells the woman to get a Bowie knife.
A knife would be useless for people chained up.

When Artie starts to cut the punching bag with Jim inside he doesn't take any precautions, like telling Jim to lean away, to make sure he doesn't stab Jim in the process.
