Bit of an odd one from the other day; "Shakespeare and Hathaway", the BBC daytime detective show....
Nice 00 gauge layout at one point, with a supposed 'they only made three of these, they're worth thousands of pounds!' model train which appeared to be a standard Bachmann BR Green 25 with a pair of Hornby Pullmans. There were some stock-shots of modern units, then all the action was obviously filmed on a preserved station somewhere, though not sure where. They'd have probably maintained the illusion of it being a well-maintained heritage station (they'd gone to the trouble of having a modern ticket machine, for example, so it could have had a Hebden Bridge air), if they hadn't had green shunters, blue 37's, choccy/cream MK.1's in shot, including posed on the running lines during the wedding scene at the end.
Sorry l am a bit late to this (six months!). The filming of the 00 gauge layout, and some other bits, was done at Stratford & District Model Railway Club. For those interested, the layout is called 'Cutlers Junction', not based on anywhere and is used for members just to 'run trains' is approx 140ft in length and a video can be found on the Clubs website.

Thinking I'm going to have to try to squeeze a chip shop in amongst the buildings; I've seen neon "fish & chips" sign on a trade stand at shows, any idea who makes it? I note Knightwing do a chip shop kit.
Hi Mark
I'm sure l saw a neon sign on the express models website (expressmodels.co.uk) some time ago. It's not listed now, but may be worth a call.

Our Club opened a Barclays Community Account about three years ago, no interest but we have debit cards, making purchases easier.
It took a while to set up as the local branch has to refer back to the main in Leicester, same when we changed Treasurers last year, could fill all forms in at local branch, but it then had to be sent over to Leicester for approval, Not had any problems and the telephone helpline was very good when l used it.
