Screen grabs from the 1951 film Lady with a Lamp. Just a very short scene at a railway station, don't know the location, and Lion hauling some Liverpool Manchester style coaches.

Already posted these on a couple of Facebook groups I'm on but wanted to add them here too. Screen grabs from a short film on Talking Pics TV called Sound Steel, about the Sheffield steel frim of Firth Brown which featured this small industrial, very low cab loco hauling a Great Western bogie bolster loaded with some sort of boiler. According to a member of the Industrial loco group on facebook it's a Hawthorn Leslie 3913. There were some later shots of Bullied pacifics as well which I have yet to sort out.

Right so I've posted train pics and car pics from the 1935 film Last Journey so here are some aeroplane screenshots from the same film. First up we have G-AAAT which is an Avro 594 Avian IV. This aircraft is recorded to have crashed in 1935, when the film was made which might explain why in some later shots of an aeroplane above a train it looks like it's had an engine change and gone from an inline engine to a radial. I could identify the aircraft in the last 3 pics

As some of you may have noticed I posted a load of screenshots from a 1935 film called LAst Journey...lots of trains around Paddington in the mid 1930's. But also in the film was this rather nice AC....and if I may, I'll add an "Oh I say...ding dooong" as we are in that sort of era. Apologies I've no idea which AC car it is but enjoy the pics anyway. Oh are there are some aeroplane pics as well which I'll post in the relevant aeroplane thread.

I didn't think about Plkymouth....my first thought was perhaps Fishguard

Hello Mike...when I first looked at the number of that Saint I too thought it was 2980 Coeur de Lion but I have a close up of the nameplate and it looks to have only one word so I'm thinking more now it maybe 2990 Waverley and it's just the film that makes it look like 2980.

Nope not a problem with sharing. I'll be posting some other screen shots at a later date so if there is anything you want to share there be my guest.

I know someone posted a couple of pictures from the film Last Journey. But it was on again the other day and I got it recorded so got a huge load of screenshots. Too many to post up here in one go so here is a selection, Star class at Paddington, a few views of what I think is Royal Oak, Pannier tanks...including a condenser and some views of a train passing what looks like an engine shed and also going through what looks like some docks, but I don't know the location so perhaps someone could help out.

I think Operation Bullshine has been mentioned before but I couldn't find any pics that had been posted. So are are the few with some railway scenes.

I don't think I've posted these on here before. One of the short information films that Talking Pictures TV show every now and again. Sea to Plate - Billingsgate. I can't recall which port it was...most likely Hull.

Dr Terrors House of Horrors on Talking Pics TV right now and the opening scenes are at Paddington with 6995 Benthall Hall. Alongside stars Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee (it wouldn't be a horror film without those two) A very very young looking Donald Sutherland, Roy Castle(of Record Breakers fame), Bernard Lee and a host of other very familiar faces. Good GOD!!! it even has Alan Fluff Freeman in it

If anyone gets the London Live tv channel they had Lady with the Lamp showing on Saturday 12th, the story of Florence Nightingale but there is a short section of the film at a station with Lion pulling in with some Liverpool & Manchester style carriages. It's being repeated on Monday 14th at 2:50pm

Nearly forgot about this one. From the 1941 film Ferry Pilot, lots of lovely early second world war images of RAF aircraft from the classic Spitfire's to Oxfords, Harvard's, Whitley's, Anson's and many more. But there was one very quick shot of a goods train. No idea where it is or what it is.

Finally got my finger out to screenshot some scenes from the penultimate episode of the original BBC Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy seris. Some scenes at Dover Marine I believe. Also a sort of non-railway related pic but showing a Sealink ferry with an SNCF funnel.

Also John and Julie with just a couple of scenes of a Bulleid pacific at Southampton docks, A station looking like it's from the West of England main line, then a Gresley product which suddenly turns into a BR/GWR 4-6-0! When will film producers realise that their stock railway footage will be investigated in such detail 65 odd years after the event we'd all live much happier lives....
