Guest 838rapid Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I am looking forward to seeing this drama,but the steam loco sounds doesn't inspire much hope in it being 100% accurate. Time will tell no doubt we shall see. Lets be honest it wont be the first time T.V producers have got it wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted August 17, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17, 2012 I think I've also seen a clip which could be of a Class 40 (English Electric Type 4, as it was then) which would at least be accurate... However, I am very disappointed at another drama which will only glorify the "exploits" of these thugs, who let us remind ourselves, attacked a driver doing his job, who never worked again, dying a few years later.

Titan Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Don't hold your breath - I could be wrong but in the trailer it looked to me like it had full yellow ends... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 838rapid Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I agree Titan. Do we need yet more films to be made on this terrible crime,which lets be fair it was. Are the producers/program makers that desperate to make more glorification of crime to fill our channels. As you have also spotted,yes it does seem to have a full yellow front on the 40. Another error in this "have to watch" program. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted August 18, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2012 I bet they didn't reconstruct Sears Crossing box either. Seriously I agree with the sentiments about not wanting to glorify this crime, even if it was the Mrs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 838rapid Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It seems to be East Lancs Railway based. There are a few modern things slipped through,most noticable was the halogen security light on the house next door and the travelodge sign at Blackpool. There is a proper colour class 40 involved D335. Looks like the robbery will be next week. I just hope that they don't glorify it and spoil ht has been a interesting first part,it seems very much basedon Mrs Biggs which is good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
