Nice one. Not seen that one before. Looks like Feltham yard to me, but I may be wrong.........

 

Basically Feltham + embroidered story - the yard is Feltham, the loco shed was on the same side of the running lines as the yard if memory serves me right and in any case the signalbox scenes were filmed in Clapham Junction A 'box. The story bears a lot of similarity to one which occurred on the GWR at Birkenhead but which no doubt was repeated at a number of places during the war.

Nice find. :good_mini:

 

Is it just me, or does the narrator sound like a young Oliver Postgate from Ivor The Engine? :dontknow:

(It could just be the heat, this 35 deg. weather is starting to get on my nerves and a lot of the places I'm working don't have air con. :heat: ).
