    We should consider ourselves lucky they weren't based on this one

    Sorry, its a foreign one! Brand new Standard Pullman trolleybus bodies for Chile on temporary bogies

    Sorry to be pedantic, but can't be Clay Cross, which had an overbridge. Maybe Pye Bridge?

    Yes, I agree though the cutting is very, very deep, so the road could well be behind the wall in the film and the buildings are slightly back from the edge of the cutting so they might not be visible from the angle of the camera. Looking at a recent OS map the contours suggest a similar topography to the film whereas the south portal goes under a really tall hill.

    The south portal of Bradway Tunnel is pretty inaccessible, whereas a road ran next to the north portal on the east side. Can't find a photo though. It was rural then but built up now.

    That suggestion seems very warm. Old maps show a straight section of track just before the south portal of the tunnel and a PW hut on the up side. Looking at recent images the land around the south portal looks a bit high to be the one in the film. Could it be the north portal of Bradway tunnel? that was on a curve but I can't find any photos. In any event, the station at the end of the film might well be somewhere else altogether. No guarantee the train came out of the same tunnel.

    Try rotating the wire as you get to the blockage - maybe in a hand drill?. Also is the end sharp? A slightly blunt end will help ensure the wire doesn't stick into the side of the tube.

    Dapol already have the chassis and CADs from the 121 and 122 in N, but have never announced any development of those to cover multi-car variants.

    The real thing ws a limited edition - the overwhelming majority were half cabs IIRC

    The very similar Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Manning Wardle tanks were also side tanks from the start

    What about Gordon Highlander - didn't it run a few regular services in between specials before its final withdrawal?

    looks very much like a demi car - small one man operated 4 wheel trams

    There is a theory that Thanet was once a Phoenician settlement - the name Tanet is the principal god of that region https://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/04/thanet-tanit-and-the-phoenicians.html

    You will definitely need self isolation of a certain kind for that

    Yes - more likely for your period than an MW

    Gobbler, in your last post -They are not all the same vehicle design. The first is a Bristol LS, the other two are Bristol MWs

    If you look carefully at my first photo link the hut end can just be seen and resembles the OP photo. That suggests that the hut in my second linked photo is a replacement hut, maybe for the reconstruction works.
