Michael Delamar Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 In one of the Thunderbirds films, the IR boys live it up in a restaurant where the meals are delivered by Triang Jintys on flat wagons!

It's been sometime since I saw this film, I didn't realise their lunch was delivered by Caledonian 123. Plus you see the B12 too. Excellent. Thanks for posting this clip. Gerry Anderson was a genius.

DavidBird Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 As we all know, Joanne thought up the Harry potter stories while stuck on a train from Manchester to London. On the "The JK Rowling Story" there is an external shot of a VT Pendolino, then it cuts to the interior, where she is being served by a BR-uniformed "trolley dolly"...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 14, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2012 Can you imagine getting clearance to do stunts like that now, the H&S bods would have apoplexy: real platform gaps, real rolling-stock, real live-rails .....it`d have to be CGI`d for sure! And a real actor doing the stunts - not a stuntman! Keith 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I seem to remember a BBC series from the 1980's (?) 'A Horseman Riding By' (adapted from the Delderfield novel), which featured restored GW vintage stock (1400 tank, coaches) plus the obligitory GW halt. Filmed on SDR, or WSR? Not sure.

mow Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Closing scenes of Hitler My Part in His Downfall shot on Bluebell Railway, with GWR Dukedog and SECR tender. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aVMnIyUpYo&feature=related There was a scene with a horseman whipping his steed as a goods train passes in Ken Russell's 'Women In Love'. The engine appeared to have no bunker, and the guard's van was marked 'M R'. Edited January 15, 2012 by mow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 14, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 14, 2012 Sutton features in the irritating Match.com dating site advert. Annoying for two reasons, firstly the train arrives as a 377 but leaves as a 455 and secondly, the reaction of the girl on the opposite platform would in reality have been to have called the BTP to report the nutter on the other side with the guitair... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) is that Michael Crawford on the train with him? It is. Complete with an American accent. Dialogue could be a bit shaky though. Looks like McQueen must have shinned along the side of the carriage and over the tender to get int the B1 Cab but Mcqueen could do anything... Oh... and almost forgot! Phones (out of Stingray) is amongst McQueens crew. You get the occasional sample of his voice.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 14, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14, 2012 This afternoon there was an episode of 'Heartbeat' featuring a 'taken and driven away' Austerity - which I think must have been on a piece of elastic judging by the number of places it appeared completely out of geographical sequence (on the NYMR).

Eggesford box Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Hi, Bhowani Junction with Stewart Granger and Ava Gardner. Was there a childrens series called Gods Wonderful Railway in the seventies or is my memory playing tricks? Also the Hi De Hi mob did a sitcom on the Severn Valley. An episode of 'Tales of the totally expected' where Keith Barron just missed a train at Crediton station 1981/83 I know cos I was the signalman and they dropped me a tenner for dropping and raising the barriers with no trains about, lot of money in those days!
