PatB Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Always interesting to see the approach to OH&S of 1920s film makers. Also interesting to note that the studio clearly made some effort to construct/obtain reasonable interpretations of early US rail vehicles, which is more than can be said for quite a few more recent/serious productions. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The Last Journey was on this morning. I only caught the end. But it was in a very early slot. If you haven't seen it, the film itself is a bit average, but fantastic footage of the GWR in the 1930s. Some screen captures here. https://www.reelstreets.com/films/last-journey-the/ Knowing how that channel works expect another repeat soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Thought the Channel Tunnel scenes from "Mission Impossible" were bad? Well it has a serious rival - Sky have released "SAS - Red Notice" Spoiler alert - it is appalling and yet again the OHLE has been conveniently omitted so that a daring helicopter scene can be included.

Great fun. One of the Children's Film Foundation's better efforts. True that the railway scenes were about as realistic as the model railways of its intended 1966 audience and the message I'd have taken away from it would have been "Yes children, railways really do make an excellent playground" but it was entertaining. Clearly a lot of undecranking involved and some of the stock also appeared in the "The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery" released in the same year. The cast included not only Ronnie Barker and Jon Pertwee - before TV made them both a lot more famous , though both were then in The Navy Lark. Also Sydney Taffler who I've always liked and thought deserving of better roles than most that he played. If you aren't mortally offended by "main line" points without any locking it's well worth seeing when and if they show it again. I went to the sort of school that had lessons on Saturday mornings and "voluntary" games on Wednesday afternoons so couldn't, much to my annoyance, get to the Saturday morning kids' shows at the local cinema. Talking Pictures is trying to resurrected those shows "complete with Flash Gordon, Zorro's Black Whip and Superman (which being 1940s probably weren't shown in the mid 1960s) so a nice bit of nostalgia for something I never actually experienced, probably the best sort of nostalgia.

jetmorgan Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) Some screen shots from Runaway Railway off Talking pics TV. All filmed on the LMR by the look of things except some stock footage at Paddington and a couple of short scenes which I think were lifted from the London to Brighton in 4 minutes film. The WD 2-10-0 doesn't need any introduction as it's a well know engine. The saddle tank I presume is a J94 but with fake outside cylinders fitted and some sort of decorative thingy on the chimney. Also includes some Hornby Dublo as well. Edited March 21, 2021 by jetmorgan 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very early stuff then, superseded in 1957 by Series 3 which was one of the earliest examples of the open sleeper trackbase we are familiar with today. I wonder if the props guys chose Standard track because it was the only sort available or because it was more robust when taking up or setting down on a table Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The points cost 7/6 ,(37.5p) which would have probably bought dad four pints of Tetley's best.

jetmorgan Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Another Talking pic TV film shown over the past year was "The 14 aka the wild little bunch" some sort of scoail commentary film on life for a poor family in the 1970's. However there are a lot of scenes, especially in the opening credits of the lines out of Paddington, I think around the Westbourne park and Royal Oak areas. On the downside a lot of the scenes feature young kids trespassing on the railway which can't create the best of images these days. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also includes some Hornby Dublo as well. The Austerity, according to the Longmoor Military Railway: A New History book (vol.3), was modified with cosmetic cylinders (no connecting rods!) and other details, and remained that way for a while afterwards whilst back in MoD service, mainly the elaborate extra lining staying in place for a while by the look of it. Gordon Edgar's book on the Austerities has it as MoD 156 "McMurdo" (Hunslet 3202 of 1944), sadly scrapped in 1968. I say sadly, as I always had a soft spot for the loco after watching the film when I was little 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I can never understand why the film people felt the need to fiddle with the loco and add the superfluous extras. What was the point? How does it add to the film? steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the point? How does it add to the film? steve I can kind of see the point with 'Matilda', I suppose it gave it a bit the loco a bit of character, made it look a bit more like a treasured, old-fashioned locomotive that was something of a line 'pet'. The Austerity as a basic design probably looked a bit modern and a touch, well, austere; I can imagine the film-makers probably wanted something different and older looking, but were a bit limited with what the MoD could provide, especially with them being tied to Longmoor as a filming location. Though I think they should have left-off the cosmetic cylinders, especially as there were no rods or motion linking them to the wheels! With "St.Trinians", I gather the modification to the second Austerity (the side-tanks) was to make it distinctive enough from the Austerity the kids hijacked during the chase scenes.

jetmorgan Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Some more screen shots of films on Talking Pics TV. This tiome one of the short home movie style films featuring industry in Lancashire. I'm assuming this must be the Beyer Peacock works considering the American style locomotive and the Garratts. The film also had other images of a transporter bridge along with some Avro aircraft but they are outside the subject of this forum. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetmorgan Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Here comes some more screen shots Sony classic movies this time. I have quite a few as I wasn't doing much over lockdown so did a lot of recording, but I have only just been able to get some blank DVD's so I can get the screen shots. This time "Weekend with Lulu" starring Bob Monkhouse, Leslie Phillips, Irene Handl and Shirley Eaton...of Goldfinger fame. Another film shot on the Longmoor Military railway....standing in for railways in France. The J94 and all the British looking rolling stock a bit of a give away but there some shots of a French railway signal box. But the goods yard is very much British and I think the water crane in the middle of the goods yard is there for comic effect purposes only. For aeroplane enthusiasts there are also a good number of shots of the Silver City based Bristol Freighters that flew cars between Le Touquet and Lydd Edited March 25, 2021 by jetmorgan 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetmorgan Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Still railways but something a little different this morning. From the film A Window in London starring Michael Redgrave, some London underground trains in 1940. Not sure of the locations but I think west London. Also the film is supposed to have some good shots of Waterloo Bridge being built, Michael Redgrave starring as a crane driver on the construction site. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
