Yes, I'd forgotten that.  I seem to recall a Collett tender.  Very advanced, those German munitions manufacturers!

On the big screen this was pretty jarring for me and some of the related scenes were quite obviously shot in Didcot shed. Most of the intended audience for this movie wouldn't recognize a GWR numberplate if it fell on their toes, but for those of us infected with GWRitis it was pretty obvious.  Projected on a big screen that number plate was probably more than 10' wide.

As soon as they entered the shed, I saw something adorned with billions upon billions of rivets, and instantly thought 'that looks like a Swindon product'! Next camera shot and it was confirmed with a cabside numberplate.

 

Having never been to Didcot, I recognised it instantly from the plethorao of photos I've seen of it which for me added to the enjoyment of the scene as I tried to figure out what everything was!

 

Cheers
